  1. I would not be alive if it was not for a cyprus. I am definately not a jumper who thinks, it's ok if I screw up my cyprus will save me. It is there as a precautionary device in case the worst happens. In my case I was knocked out and if it was not for the marvel of a cyprus then I would be straight to the point DEAD. I haVe since done well over 100 jumps since then thankfully with no incident. Don't rely on on anyone or anything you can never know what might happen.
  2. Mat Dude I'm in Moscow at the moment. Work sorted out my visa. Try this link that I got off the Aerograd website. http://www.eyevista.ru/ The standard money in high class hotels etc is dollars everywhere else is rubles. I have used dollars once for a taxi ride $20 (500 rubles) I did the same journey the next day and instead of getting a taxi from the airport I took one from the street and paid 150 rubles. Learn a few russian words the most important one I have found so far is spasiba Thank You or Spasiba bal'shoye Thank You very much. It will make life a lot friendlier. One other thing you might struggle to get rubles out of a cash machine so when it asks the language put in russian and you can kind of guess what the buttons mean if you go for english you sometime will be offered rubles but will not get them. When you buy anything in rubles divide by 50 to get the pound value. ₤1 = 50 rubles or py If you need any other info then pm me. I'm hoping weather permitting to be at Aerograd this weekend.
  3. I'm with you on this one. Also would never date a smoker. Yuck Might as well kiss an ashtray and did I mention the smell
  4. I found that the easiest program to use is ACDSee Its really easy not only to resize pictures but also to brighten them up etc etc etc. Used it yesterday on loads of pics and it did not take long at all.

  9. I'm in Moscow at the moment and was hoping to go up this weekend. Anyone going from Moscow in a car that I could get a lift with please. Are the bunkhouses built yet as thats where I was hoping to stay Spasiba
  10. Another good mix is Peanut Butter and Marmite. YUM YUM
  11. Now I’m wondering why someone from Guilford would go all the way to Langar to jump when within an hour’s drive you have at least three Dz’s, Nethers, Weston and Dunkers You forgot Hinton which is very close to Weston
  12. I'm going to Moscow for a month with work and am going to have evenings and weekends to jump my ass off. Which DZ would you guys recommend that is close to Moscow, the two that are the dropzones in Russia are Stupino and Aerograd Kolomna.
  13. The price up to 12k is £18 and the aircraft that they normally operate is a LET410 and a Cessna
  14. Mike, everywhere you go no matter what club or what sport you are in you will have a bad day. That does not mean that you should throw your toys out of the cot like you have done and blame the club. So what if Hinton have a new rule that you have to prove your club membership at the beginning of the season. There was plenty of warning. I myself was getting a lift up the following week and remembered about 30 minutes away from the club that I did not have my BPA card. I gave Hinton a call and Geoff told me that without the card I could not jump. Fair enough thats the rule. I took the fax number and called home and got my card faxed to the club. As I arrived and went to see if the fax was there Geoff was busy cutting it out to photocopy onto the membership form therefore allowing me to jump that day. Now what kind of service is that? To me thats top service which he did not have to do. Incidentally I got 10 jumps that weekend even though I turned up half way through Saturday. I admit that Hinton was a bit of a Tandem factory in the past but things have changed and if you jump, pack and manifest instead of sitting around all day hoping that the world will come to you, you can easily get 10 jumps in. One other thing that I have to say is you mentioned that you were manifested for load 1 yet your rig was not ready. That sounds like your fault. You know the rule you only manifest when you are ready. I have to finish this with saying thanks to Geoff and Mike for organising such a great day/night yesterday and to Caroline for doing another brilliant job with the food, Matt for the great entertainment (MAN OVERBOARD, SHIVER ME TIMBER), Pat for her needlework on my rig (at short notice) and to Emo who packed my reserve (once again at very short notice)
  15. Another pic and a link to the largest flag ever jumped http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=559465;search_string=horning;#559465
  16. How about this one from South Africa

    April Fools

    This was great, one of my flatmates emailed me this morning and told me that she had had enough and was going to resign and move back to South Africa (Doing the London thing) So I mailed back saying really I did not think it was that bad. She replies with she misses her folks and her job is shit and she has booked her flight for the 18th April So I left it for about 15 minutes and mailed her back saying I've called the landlord and explained the situation and will be finding someone to move in her place. Literally 30 seconds the phone rings with her panicking saying it was only an April Fools Joke. Told her I know HA HA APRIL FOOLS She was shitting bricks it was so funny.
  20. When we did night jumps for the people who did not have glowing altis they taped a small glowstick near the alti to see the height. Everyone however had to wear a larger glowstick on there chest strap. The whole idea was so that when you are under canopy and see a light it means that the person is facing you therefore flying towards you. So both of you turn right. We had 2 great jumps that night. The only pity was the cloud cover at 6 grand so thats all we got.
  21. Send him a huge parcel that needs to be signed for to the station but make sure that you put quotes in huge letters like ORGAZMO HOMEMADE PORN DELIVERED DIRECT TO YOU Contents HOMEMADE AMATEUR PORN A friend of mine got me like that. Funny now but at the time I had a serious red face when I had to go and sign for it
