If I lean back I can see this too. Theres loads of beautiful old buildings round me as Im in the old financial district. Below me are the old docklands (bristol has been an important port for centuries) which have been regenerated into posh bars and a science museum with loads of large modern art exhibits outside.

Dang, and I was posting a picture of the weather. . .

You put my view to shame. . .how gorgeous the view from your window is. . .I usually get to see fly-by's of the aerobatic teams out of Miramar Air Station. . .that's pretty cool when they fly between the buildings. . .

I miss out on the fly-by's. Although we did get one from Concorde late last summer as she flew in on her last flight to spend her retirement at the airfield down the road from my house. I get to see her parked up every time I drive to the mall. (oh and theres a supermarine Spitfire at the airfield that practices its aerobatics over the house some weekends... but I only get to see that if I dont go to the DZ so its a pleasure/pain thing).

Okay, you UK boys crack me up. . .I do understand the Queens English my friends. . .It's okay really, I have been listening to it for years. . .

The flyby's are a highlight of my day. . .they start practicing around 9:00 a.m. and when all 5 of them are in the sky at the same time it is AWESOME. It's like having a free airshow right outside the window. . .way too cool. . .

Well, James. . .you will just have to make the trip out to California. . .I'll let you peek out my window. . .or you can take in a breathtaking view from 12.5K at Elsinore. . .seeing all the way to the ocean. Or jump in San Diego and be nearly at the coast. . .Very nice views. . .

Dude. . .I am in San Diego - and YES I have a great view. . .

I am also less than an hour from three turbine dz. . .

25 minutes to Otay Lakes - Skydive San Diego with 2 Super Twin Otters.

55 Minutes to Elsinore - with 2 Super Twin Otters

60 minutes to Perris - with a Skyvan, 3 Super Twin Otters, and a DC-9 (which will be ready in a couple months or so).

Just the best place ever.

That's okay, we will just send you to the liquor store across the street for more. . .

But hey, yeah, the more jumpers the better in this apartment. . .means more money for jumps. . .lol!

(Oh, did I mention you should probably get a job! We are skydivers and always broke. . .but I am sure there is something around here you could do. . .lol)

no seriously, his only method of converting people is the following lines..

'are you a sinner or a winner?'

'if you sin you're never going to get into heaven'

'let jesus into your life...'



Thats it, thats all he's got. He just keeps repeating it all day every day up and down oxford street on his megaphone... :D

Go over and tell him he's made a big mistake and that he's actually Hindu. Tell him he's never gonna attain Moska and have his soul unify with Brahman if he keeps on like that. Also he should go off and prey to Ganesh and stop spouting this heretical nonsense.
