fair weather my arse. I've got video footage of your bloody fair weather! ;-)

we've taken ours on a boat a couple of times, and bounced it around the UK
and holland in various sorts of vans and cars. it went under the channel too,
once, with andy's next to it. I think I'd draw the line at flying it these days,
at least unless I had an anvil case.
no, we've only seen one lot of misbehaviour on stage and on that cold night
we were able to borrow a similar-sound frame from andy's newly-streetlyfied
1145 which was shivering in the cold car-park of jodrell bank planetarium. and
adrian air-sculpture had a total failure at the same venue, but then he didn't
used to look after his machine and wouldn't let anyone else do it either.
serves him right.
