  1. Thats the Ghurka cap badge there, right? I always wondered what those were called... Hey, how about a potato peeler? Ridiculously small, with a hole in it! Oh wait...
  2. Yeah, I thought I'd heard that they had closed, didn't know there were plans to reopen though. Cheers!
  3. Yeah, I spent the summer with no money (less than usual!), and no weekends free for jumping, so I had no continuity A quick refresher on emergency drills and the nerves pretty much disappeared (specially when I looked out the window at 5K and remembered why I'd started skydiving in the first place!) Now it's winter and another long layoff lies ahead...
  4. Insects. Especially ones with long skinny legs... Urgh.... (shudder)
  5. I'm from southampton, but studying in wales. Ill be back for the holidays though... Which DZ are you going to?
  6. Not my kinda thing dude, but whatever floats yer boat...
  7. I agree. I'd say it's possible, but unlikely...
  8. Lets get drunk and try to enter a foreign country!
  9. At least we still have a place to moan about it Thanks dropzone.com!
  10. No jumps this weekend I can't get to the dropzone It makes me upset
  11. I give up, I've done all I can on this stupid essay, its friday, I'm bored, I'm sober, I can't get to the DZ this weekend, so I'll drink now, work tomorrow, watch rugby on sunday...
  12. It was a clean thread Maybe dirty poetry is unpopular?
  13. I really should be doing one of my essays that are due soon. I came to the computer room with real intention to do some work... then I logged on to dropzone.com, and my motivation has since wained. Anyone else in a similar situation?
  14. I did it too... No-one else do it, you've been warned!
  15. I'm 20, and it looks like I'm one of the few people on here who has less jumps than years...
  16. I heard about the Kittinger jump (this is the one in the 60s frmo the edge of space, right?) I didn't know he got to mach 1 though, and I'm interested to know why it wasn't technically freefall... (Not being funny, I just don't understand...)
  17. Langar is 4 hours from Aberystwyth, if the traffics good. We could go to Tilstock (a mere 2 and a half hours), but they're not open sundays...
  18. They were advertising this in the uk Mag, so I'd hope it was reputable. No guarantee though, but from the website it looks like something good to do for a year. Maybe after I'm done at uni...
  19. Yeah, I know, but it's better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick...
  20. Well I would if the government gave me enough money to live on first...
  21. God bless the internet...
  22. Thats the main reason for me wanting to get union recognition, we could do with as much funding as possible...
