They were showing something called "Mr Personality" over here in the UK. It was hosted by Monica Lewinski, and all the guys wear masks. Its all a bit weird, cos the masks are like the ones in "Eyes Wide Shut"...

For me skydiving is much safer than driving, because I can't drive. Never even had one lesson. But thats just me...

For those who think skydiving is better, maybe you're not having the right kind of sex... For those who think sex is better, maybe your not doing the right kind of skydiving...

I'm at Aberystwyth university, and we'll be jumping at Langar. The good news is that Langar have said they'll give us the discount regardless of union affiliation (yay!), and the union are reviewing the case at their next health and safety meeting, due to the fact that the BPA gives insurance, and the DZ have a reasonable personal accident policy available. Fingers crossed, and thanks for all the help! If anyone has any more advice PLEASE let me know, cos I'm out on a limb a bit here!

UK Bedford Tunnel - Press Release
samhussey replied to Paulipod's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
I guess tunnels are like buses, nothing for ages then 2 come along at once! -
You think? OK, I'll give it a shot...

See uni club thread for my bitching...

Sounds like a good idea! The only problem would then be costs. As a uni club the DZ gives us a discount, and we get a grant from the union, as well as transport. If these were removed it'd be doubtful that most of those who expressed interest before would still want to take it up (I've got over 50 people who want to join as soon as we get going). But if all else fails, I guess it'd be the best way to salvage the situation... Thanks

I dunno if that would be ok in the uk, but it's worth a thought... Cheers

Thanks for the stats, I'm busy building up evidence, so any thing like this people can provide me with will really help!
-
I've asked for an appeal, but I don't know how I'll cope if they won't let us form. It's a long way to the DZ and I don't drive...

GGRrrrrrrrrr Just got an email from the student union saying they won't let us statr a skydiving club. Apparently, skydiving is "an activity in pursuit of danger" and as such is not covered by their insurance policy. Funny though, the cavers can go do THEIR thing, the OTC can go shoot guns at stuff, and what if a member of the Uni Air Squadron had to bail out? Its so UNFAIR!
-
I'm confused, this surely isn't meant for kids right? But then again, it surely can't be meant for adults?
-
I think what was meant is that you would accelerate towards the ground. You are right though, canopies dont propel you, gravity does.

Today is my 1st skydiving birthday!!!
samhussey replied to Flygator's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
I was born (not in the skydiving sense, but in the baby sense) on Sep 21st 1983. Just seems weird to think that people were skydiving then... PS, hope that doesn't make ya feel old -
Look in the Mag, theres a really good article about 2 outs, I think it was in the august issue. It might even be on the site www.skydivemag.com

Well what can you say, its a feyenoord fan...

The town I go to university in has the worlds first department of international politics, founded in 1919. AND one of the highest (top 3 if not the highest) pub to student ratios in the uk. I give you ABERYSTWYTH, a small town on the welsh coast, 60 miles from the nearest major city! (ANd 4 hours from the DZ...)

Must be a northern thing...

Oops, missed that one! Apologies...

The Titanic sailed from Southampton, operation overlord was launched from here, and all shippy stuff like that... Man I hate boats...

Hey, did anyone see the episode of South Park where a similar thing to this happened with the word 'shit'? It was funny as fuck! (I guess I'm allowed to say that now?)

Now I have a headache...

It took me a while, but I finally saw dolphins. Then I went back to looking at boobies!
