skreamer 1 #1 June 13, 2002 But I got my passport back today and have been given permanent residency (Indefinite Leave to Remain) in the UK! And a year from now I get a British passport which means I can live and work anywhere in Europe! Anybody know of any decent DZs in Spain??? Soon I'll have free access to the best dentists in the world!!! Will"Look before you jump, don't die until you're dead" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skreamer 1 #4 June 13, 2002 I thought all British people got free dental care? Isn't that why nobody here brushes their teeth? "Look before you jump, don't die until you're dead" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jfields 0 #10 June 13, 2002 Brush their teeth? I thought the British kept their tooth locked up with the crown jewels. Maybe they dust it every once in awhile... Justin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skreamer 1 #16 June 13, 2002 QuoteNo rednecksNo, but lots of skinhead yobs.QuoteAppropriate drinking regulationsYou enjoy being treated like a schoolchild and forced to leave a pub at 11PM?(incidentally the Met reckons thats one of the reasons there is so much street violence - all the drunken yobbos leaving pubs at same time)QuoteCars with manual transmissionSpend 45 minutes every morning driving 7 miles through London traffic and you'll wish you had an automatic transmission...QuoteWater you can drink from the tapHaven't been home for a while have you??? Quote3000 miles form AmericaWorld's busiest year-round DZs with affordable jump tickets and decent altitude - don't see too many yanks bitching about that...I've been to the states 4 times now and really enjoyed myself, the one thing I do prefer about the British is that they are a bit better travelled and informed. I read in Time that 85% of Americans don't even own passports. Pretty strange that the richest nation in the world isn't into travelling much. Of course American skydivers would probably be an exception to that rule.Will"Look before you jump, don't die until you're dead" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skreamer 1 #18 June 13, 2002 QuoteI'd be pleased to show you around....It really is a thousand light years from life in London....I'd really enjoy that. Couple of years ago I drove up from Bridlington (did 3 months contract there at Sara Lee's) to Linlithgow where my grandfather came from. When the locals in the pub heard why I was there, boy oh boy... Will"Look before you jump, don't die until you're dead" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
