Where Turkey Takes Over the Blog


That is "Go Dad" in Jenga Blocks... I also have a bunch of "Random" Go Dad videos which I am not going to upload to You Tube though I will note that one of them has a suspicious looking blonde boy says "GO Dad!" and "Spain for the Euro" in a really bad secret squirrel type voice... the whole thing is quite unnerving really.

I was going to carry on blogging like normal but it just seems a bit weird to me to have my usual stuff in amongst all this F3J Stuff. So with the exception of the odd photo of the kids for Les' benefit it's just going to be all TURKEY every day from now till the end of the WC then our regularly scheduled programme will resume.

So overnight the Spor Yapi Cup finished... and Joe got 5th with the top 4 spots being taken out by Germany and the US. Sometime last night Les said...

" Joe got 5th, had trouble with is landings otherwise he was miles ahead. Going out to dinner shortly with Aussie, Japan, Netherlands and some of the USA team. Email done and should be sent tonight if we get a good connection at the hotel...." The ... is a bunch of kissy stuff you don't want to know about.

And then this morning (NZ time)...

"Just got home and everyone gone to bed so can't Skype. Will try from field tomorrow as we should have the time. Model processing day and opening ceremony and that's it. Still a long day as opening ceremony not until 1930. We have made team bet with Aussie as to which team places highest. $50 a pilot and may or may not involve singing national anthem in undies. Will not be a pretty sight no matter whoever wins."

And in the email this morning...

nailed a 9.57.3/100 thıs morning yep, asking me to check switch is now part of after launch timer duties. ı ended 77 in spor yapi, would have been 25ish ıf had got ok flight yesterday instead of switch problem. bıt bummed but got 2x 1000 out of 4 rounds so happy wıth that Yes, people have been pınged for early and we are takıng very short tows, still get good height though as we have serıous usa horsepower down the far end, helped there juniors fıx some planes got us big brownie points so they are looking after us. a couple of photos ın the gallery of paul and i towıng generally has been a launch/land contest condıtıons have been that good, a bıt wındy at tıme so a few off field landıngs too"

So I sifted through all of the photos and this is what I found....



Sven


Les and Paul Towing




Paul (team helper), Les and Scott (son of Paul)
I must say I've never been a fan of matchy-matchy dressing but the team shirts make is really easy to spot the fruitcakes wearing them. As a side note I have to say Dave L really did a primo job they are the best design I can see in all the photos. Shameless plug for ESP



  • More as it comes to hand.... happy Sunday!
