Currently a full-time carer for my wife who's disabled. I also pick up a bit of extra money making custom fit corsets (£100 - £200 each). In my time I've done several jobs including working on a market stall, silver service waiter, sous chef, concert and sporting event steward, HM Inland Revenue (IRS), soldier (reservist and regular), traffic manager for a haulage firm and stock controller.

THE DIFFERENCE IF YOU MARRY A WELSH GIRL!!! Three friends married women from different parts of the world..... The first man married a Greek girl. He told her that she was to do the dishes and house cleaning. It took a couple of days, but on the third day he came home to see a clean house and dishes washed and put away. ... The second man married a Thai girl. He gave his wife orders that she was to do all the cleaning, dishes and the cooking. The first day he didn't see any results but the next day he saw it was better. By the third day he saw his house was clean, the dishes were done, and there was a huge dinner on the table. The third man married a girl from WALES . He ordered her to keep the house cleaned, dishes washed, lawn mowed, laundry washed, and hot meals on the table for every meal. The first day he didn't see anything, the second day he didn't see anything either but by the third day, some of the swelling had gone down and he could see a little out of his left eye and his arm was healed enough that he could fix himself a sandwich and load the dishwasher. He still has some difficulty when he urinates.. Atheism is a Non-Prophet Organisation

Time to close the other Welfare program that is the USPS
rifleman replied to airdvr's topic in Speakers Corner
In the UK the post office was privatised (in that they now have shareholders) - service got worse, prices go up regularly. The current cost of a first class letter up to 100g is 60 pence (approx 95c) and if you want a signature on delivery it jumps to £ 1.55 ($ 2.45). Anything over 100g or larger than a certain size (approx C5 size) gets classified as a large letter and costs 95p ($1.42), signature on delivery £1.85 ($2.90). Atheism is a Non-Prophet Organisation -
I never run out of coffee - I have a regular standing order with amazon for six jars of Rocket Fuel instant (strong coffee laced with guarana for those really early starts) every month and my local coffee retailer delivers 4 pounds of coffee beans every month as well. Speaking of which, my next order of Rocket Fuel is due next week and I have two jars left over from the last order. Anyone who wants to try one please PM me with your address details and complete the phrase "I need rocket fuel coffee because....." best two get the coffee. Atheism is a Non-Prophet Organisation

Paddy and Michael walk into a pet shop in Belfast. "Dem's the feckers I want" says Michael and buys two budgerigars. They then get in Michael's car and drive out into the countryside until they reach a large cliff. They get out of the car and Michael walks to the edge of the cliff, opens the box from the pet shop, puts one bird on each shoulder and throws himself off the edge and promptly falls all the way to the bottom and breaks his back on the rocks below. Paddy takes out his mobile phone and calls for an ambulance. While he's waiting for the ambulance to arrive another friend, Rory, arrives with a big box in his hands. He opens the box and takes out a large and slightly pissed off chicken. Grabbing the chicken, one leg in each hand, he holds it over his head, takes a long run up and throws himself over the edge. Very quickly, he joins Michael at the bottom of the cliff and Paddy phones for another ambulance. He's still waiting for the ambulances to arrive when Seamus turns up with a large Macaw and a 12-bore shotgun. Seamus walks to the edge, throws the macaw into the air, jumps off backwards and as he's falling blasts the macaw into feathers. He proceeds to join Michael and Rory at the bottom of the cliff. Paddy takes out his mobile to ring for a third ambulance and as he does, the first ambulance arrives. "Feck that!" says Paddy to the paramedic "I'm not getting into any of them extreme sports." "Why?" asks the paramedic "Cos first of all there was Michael with the budgie jumping, then Rory turned up to go hen gliding and then Seamus turned up to do some feckin' parrot-shooting. It's just too feckin' dangerous!" Atheism is a Non-Prophet Organisation

An executive goes on a business trip to Japan and while he's there he decides to visit a brothel. As he's making love to the woman she keeps shouting 'Sung Wa, Sung Wa!' which because of his ego he takes to mean 'fantastic'. The next day he's invited to play golf with his host and on the first green the host sinks a 24 foot putt. Anxious to show off his new found knowledge the visitor says "Sung Wa!" at which the host turns and looks at him and asks' "What do you mean - wrong hole!" Atheism is a Non-Prophet Organisation

When I need a pick me up on an early start I generally have Rocket Fuel instant (2 spoons per cup) which is coffee with added guarana. Atheism is a Non-Prophet Organisation

What is the worst alien movie you've ever watched?
rifleman replied to promise5's topic in The Bonfire
Not sure whether it's an alien movie or not, but Attack Force was just completely dire, even for a Seagal movie. (Mind you, I'm not sure whether the writers and producers knew what they were doing with it either.) Atheism is a Non-Prophet Organisation -
What canopy should I choose to fly next?
rifleman replied to sooperswooper's topic in Gear and Rigging
As a student and an ex-military jumper, I have no problems with having to do a PLF on almost every jump - sometimes having a good PLF makes the difference between bruising and broken bones; upwind, downwind or crosswind landings don't bother me because I have a good PLF. What does annoy the sh*t out of me as a full-time carer for my wife (a disabled wheelchair user) is your derogatory use of the term 'handicap' and reference to the international symbol for the disabled. If I knew of a way to report this post I would do so. Have a nice day and hope that you never need to spend an extended amount of time in a wheelchair because you'll soon find out that it's really not that easy for the disabled.

British english term for what you call a billboard. At the Queens Club 2012 the line judges sat on their chairs inside a little wooden box with one of the sponsor's names/logo on it. Video here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/tennis/18477937 Atheism is a Non-Prophet Organisation

It depends on the level of the tantrum - generally it's a warning, then lose a point, lose a game, lose a set, lose the match for repeated violations. Of course, if you injure a member of the umpiring team while doing it, irrespective of whether it's a first offence or not, you get disqualified as David Nalbandian found out at Queen's last year when he kicked an advertising hoarding during his final match with Cilic. Part of the hoarding cut the leg of a line judge and Cilic won the title after approx 1 1/2 sets. Atheism is a Non-Prophet Organisation

As far as I understand it (as a noob) you have one person at DZ control (the cattle pen) who gets the manifest sheet for the load. Jumpers get a flightline check and then either sign to say that thay've had it (B licence and above) or someone else signs for it (A licence and students). DZ control then know how many jumpers at which altitudes (how many canopies) and is in constant radio contact with the A/C. The pilot tells DZ control when they've dropped people at each alti and how many (eg 3 jumpers out) and as the canopies open DZ control counts them (also observes for cutaways). As each one lands they get ticked off on the manifest sheet until all jumpers are down. If for any reason a canopy doesn't open or there's a cutaway with an off-landing then someone can be moving within minutes to start searching. As I say this is just my impression as a low jump number noob based on the way things are done at my club. Other clubs may have different procedures in place. Atheism is a Non-Prophet Organisation

As I'm buying used it will probably be standard reserve fabric and a 9 cell main but probably ZP rather than ZPX. ETA: In general, would a 190 be too loose in this rig and cause problems or would it be OK? Atheism is a Non-Prophet Organisation

I recently purchased an older rig that's the right size for me. It's sized for a 220 main and reserve but trying to find a used 220ish canopy that's not too old is like trying to find rocking horse manure. My CCI reckons I should be OK on a 190 and my rigger reckons the H/C probably has less than 400 jumps on it and is a bargain despite being 20+ years old (cost me £200) My question is this - would I be able to fit 190 canopies in this without any problems or should I be looking for a smaller rig?

Here in the UK you have to have a minimum of third party insurance, but even if you insure and then cancel the police still get you because most of the traffic cars are fitted with ANPR (automatic number plate recognition) and appear to be linked into the DVLA (driver and vehicle licensing authority) computers. Basically if you drive past one of these cars with lapsed/cancelled/no insurance, no MOT etc an alarm goes off in the police vehicle and tells them that there's no insurance etc on the vehicle. If you can't prove that you have insurance there and then, the car is impounded (at your cost) until you can prove you have insurance or if you know you're driving without insurance you can sign the vehicle over to them and it's destroyed.
