Welcome to Skysurfer's Web site! We live in Stretford, South Manchester,  North West England. I'm an active (outdoor pursuits) single parent, and you should find lots of useful links and info on this site.

First of all....

Site map

Gallery My family in a photo album.
Armour My  Dad was my hero. A short history of his Regiment (11th Armoured) 23rd Hussars.
Stan the man My other hero, Stanislav Petrov. He saved the world from nuclear destruction in the 80's.
Hobbies  include planes (microlights) , paragliding,  parascending, R/C modelling & sub-aqua diving.
Boot sale Due to change of circumstances, various items, some strange things. All as stated, good quality.
Jokes Funnies, mostly sent to me by a 'friend at the bottom of the garden' : ) Rated 15. Probably.
Barton Mostly interesting aircraft living there, or visiting. Old photies circa 1954 added 21/1/2004
Geocaching A relatively new sport for the whole family. Great for kids - get 'em away from the TV/PC!
Comments?  Mail me. Broken links, etc. Be nice, please.

 

 

Some useful (I hope) links. Others are scattered throughout the site. All links have been personally used by me.

Search engines. Google  My favourite.
Junk (snail) mail?? Then register here, with MPS, and they SAY they'll kill it. Well, mostly, I presume.
Genealogy Some sites to get started with. It's a long and dedicated process, with no real 'correct way' to do it. Just read lots of FAQ's, and get on with it. You will never finish! Online English Names Research Directory   Genuki
Wrought Ironwork P.A.B. Ironwork. Good for quality new gates & railings.
Want to know about batteries? Go here. An American site, with a clear explanation of the things. Go here to buy 'em.
Engineering tools www.msctool.com Good prices, good service. A local lad.
Bouncy Castles Superslide Well priced inflatables, rent for home, or for fetes etc. Nice people to deal with.
Carpet cleaning Billy Nugent, a local lad. No web site, but call him (0161 865 7839) for good priced, quality cleaning. All aspects (carpets, settees etc). Cars, too! Please mention me, when calling - you might even get a discount!
Misc

Bio degradable bin bags.

A British company add a chemical to the normal process of making them. Dependant on how much additive they put in, determines how long it will turn to CO2 and water, rather than lying around for 100 years, they last just months, or 6 years. I found them on sale in Safeways, but they're showing up more and more around the place. This needs to be put in all plastic. They're called Tuffy refuse sacks, and the wrapper looks like this.

 

Bike size.

Ever wondered how to measure a bike? Go here and find out all you need to know.
