| âKiteâ boy is flung 70ft |
| 2004-04-21 |
| A KITE-surfer was fighting for life yesterday after a freak wind lifted him 70ft and tossed him over a seafront chippie.(a âchip shopâ to the uninitiated) An 80mph gust plucked teenager Ross Milton from a wave, carried him over the fish bar and smashed him into a wall. A second gust hurled the 17-year-old against ANOTHER wall. His helmet came off and he suffered severe head injuries. Rossâs dad Matthew, who is a GP, and mum Anne saw the accident from the beach at Aberavon, South Wales. Both were at his bedside last night. Rossâs grandfather Rev Harold Lindley, a retired vicar, said: âHe is a skilled kite-surfer. Weâre anxiously awaiting news.â Hours earlier Ross, of Oldham, Greater Manchester, competed in the national championships of the British Kite Surfing Association. Chairman Paul Jobin said: âWeâre all in shock. Ross was in the wrong place at the wrong time.â I seriously hope he pulls through. Youâve just got to love the Welsh. |

| #8 Hey, Anon--If you had been here for any length of time, you would know people post crazy stuff like this once in a while. It's called "comic relief". If Fred doesn't like it, he'll can it. Newbies like you will have to like it or lump it. It ain't your forum. |

| #4 Take your chestnut and dump it in another forum. There are a million comical sites on the WWW for individuals with a taste for inanity. This is the WAR ON TERRORISM forum. Kindly have the common courtesy to refrain from posting swill herein in future. |

| #3 This thread has the potential to run into the 100s. Lighten up A4391. Darwin award articles are semi-acceptable. And Fred has the last word. |

| #2 Just a little comic relief, you understand. I was going to post something about 'The Mad Mullah of Surburbia' when this little chestnut caught my eye. You can't have war all the time. ;) |

| #1 I do not have to love any freak from the UK. What does this TWIT'S misadventure have to do with the WAR ON TERRORISM? Kindly refrain in future from junking up the WAR ON TERRORISM forum with your sissy articles. |
