[stokemaveric]

[DEN53]

[Im-noddy]

Cause hes shy and wants to cover his bald head up

[Im-noddy]

Great minds the den

[Im-noddy]

or even then den

[Mailmutt]

Not watching it, but think I know what you mean - he's in a ballon isn't he?

Anyway, even 500 feet up it can feel cold. At 1000 you notice how cold and quiet it is.

[Mailmutt]

balloon - must stop knocking one out over the laptop and getting keys stuck.....

[stewey]

I thought that Woolies went out of business..............Anyway, seriously folks, maybe it's a little chilly at his altitude.....No, wait a minute, Chili's in South America....Time for a wobbly-pop, methinks:)

[DEN53]

I am still getting my head around smelly shoes on Ebay, Noddy !!! ha ha ha

[DebsyDoo]

Anyone who's been to the Gambia may have seen this too . . . a postcard of a woman with a baby on her back (& the baby had a woolen bobble hat on !!) Strange ?

[stewey]

Protection from the sun?

[tamborine]

the link - share?

[Im-noddy]

We been to the gambia about 6 tmes now debsy and it is nice being there in late December coming back from the beach and its 90 degrees walking into the hotel and seeing the xmas decs have been put up

[DebsyDoo]

Yeah Nodders, I've been several times - in fact I'd move out there tomorrow if I could I love the place - so laid back !!
Never been at Xmas though - can't usually get the time off at Xmas !!
Easter's good too - you ever been to the Tabaski ?

[Panic Button]

You don't wear a hat in a hot air balloon to keep warm.

It is like being in a toaster under the burner - and you are likely to get your hair singed.

[Mailmutt]

You might not be near the burner - I'm talking from experience. Admittedly the UK, but it was in summer on a glorious day.

One of the best experiences ever BTW!

[Mr Veritas]

As someone pointed out it's cold up there!
Even on the ground the temperature at night can drop to as low as 40F,which after the heat of the day can feel damm cold,believe me,I talk from experience(Treetops in Kenya)
