[norainplease]

Morning All!!

Thought I would drag this thread kicking and screaming back to the first page!!

Just a quick question, have anyone ever used the Dylon Image Maker (Linky) from SkyBlue?

I'm just wondering how it works? Is it any good etc? Any info would be greatly appreciated!!

Cheers!

PS. Nice flag Paul, can't wait to get started on mine now!!

Crikey, that's expensive I do love skyblue leisure, but maybe they've marked up the price a bit as they know a lot of potential flag makers will be visiting the site.

When I painted my flag I bought a similar product from the haberdashery department in Debonhams. I'm sure most big department stores will probably sell the same kind of paint. Also art and craft stores.

Try checking them out first 'polite sun requester', they'll have more to choose from and it's a great excuse to do some Glastobating

Im bringing a rather large flag of the design you see to the left (if you're logged in) and will be waving it around with the intent of getting it on telly as much as possible

Question is, how long a telescopic pole do I go for? The full 10 metres?

is the telescopic pole the one you buy to put a flag up near your tent (so you can find it) or do i need another pole for that?

Thanks Paul, that would be ace!! I will make sure that I keep a Team Watson badge for you!!

[port]

they are only good for two things and thats directing your mates to your location in a crowd, and acting as a ground when its lightning.

[MikeyB37]

It is Pebeo

[MikeyB37]

Think last years flag will make a reappearance this year

Will be designing another flag this year though. Need to get my blank flag and start work on it.

Never took one myself but what does everyone seem to have against them? I like looking out at the crowd and seeing all the different flags. I would hardly say they block your view.

Tonight I started the design/creation of my 2009 festival flag.. watch this space

[Chimps in Balaclavas]

Will a 6 meter pole be big enough to not block people's view in the crowd?

[halvin]

From one of the many flag debates:

My view of the Beach Boys...

[halvin]

why is the top metre not usable.

[halvin]

ahh i see. so thats sorted then 6 metre it is. also (sorry about the questions) what sort of size flag do you go for??
