I have always, and still do, maintain that kayaking is a dry sport. Rolling is a result of not knowing how to perform a proper low brace support stroke, or being bored in a nice warm swimming pool. There are other way to get upside down, like failing to get the proper sweep in when trying to cartwheel, or being pushed by enemy polo players, but these are mostly intentionally/self inflicted and not embarrasing in the pub later that day, or at least not as embarrasing as having to drive 100 odd miles to search for you boat in the lake at the bottom of the river after taking a swim.
The most fun I've had rolling was at a polo competition in Holland many years ago, where the objective of the game was to fall over one side, pass your cigarette across the bottom of the boat, and roll up the other with one hand, whilst keeping your cigarette alight. Obviously being Holland these weren't Marlboros, much chaos and cursing over damp packets of Rizla insued.
The rolls that don't use a 'hip flick', in ideal circumstances, end up with the paddle (or paddler in the case of hand rolling) at the front of the boat instead of the rear, which any white water paddler will know is a much more stable place to be, making them more suited to white water use. This is odd though because it is mostly European polo players (not European white water paddlers) that I have seen right themselves in this way. The only downside is it is impossible to keep a smoking implement alight whilst rolling and using this method, I think the European polo players may need to asses their priorities.......
I couldn't agree more with the parent. Trying not to sound like a Daily Mail reader, but use this and email your MP, they are the buffer between you and the Home Office. Only send it once though or the'll be round for your laptop.....
Also, I don't think Ted Bundy walked away with $500 million shared between him and his 'mates' in liquid assets and stock. Only if Bundy's life had been increased by his crimes then could he be seriously compared to Lay. I think the original poster is doing Bundy a great injustice.

When you take into account the £11 million a day given to the government in tabacco revenue, how can they whinge when we get ill?
..Al Gore's new movie, An Inconvenient Truth, wins the award for 'Most faked .torrnet download 2006', coincidence?

You seem to have described refraction there, not the 'spreading' effect of waves when passing an obstuction or aperture known as diffraction.
