Excellent! I totally agree! Do you guys outside the UK also get people on crowded public transport, shouting into their phones?

Thanks Stacey!! How long would a 60 second line be? I think I would much rather do AFF, but time, money, and winter seem to be conspiring together to force me to do it the s/l route

Thank you all!
-
Can anyone point me to a site with details and a comparison between static line and AFF courses, please?

a Been good while I've been studying, but now it is getting a bit boring! Look for a new one in a few months!

What are you supposed to be doing right now instead of reading this?

I work on a project with mobile phones / cellphones, and part of our work is to keep up to date with the research regarding health and the use of these phones. There are no consistent findings yet, although the more recent publications seem to indicate that there is no health danger. If you can influence the decision into what sort of phone to get, try for one with a low SAR( Specific Absorption Ratio), and maybe also get a handsfree headset (there are a few that limit the radiation) I think the general opinion so far is that they should not really be used by 'children' under sixteen, as their skull by the ears is still thickening (sounds impossible)

Ok, I just got irritated because some1 interupted me for a work related thing!

Hey snowbird I did a similar job for two and a half years! It wasn't bad, and I was busy all day - not sitting at a desk !

Hey, bluefingers - what about the Zim$ What is the story with AFF in SA? Might come for a course and some 'biltong'!

I also wondered about the name, after the long trek there! All worth it, though!!

Hello Thanks for all the encouragement. I did my jump at Chatteris (North London Parachute Centre) - I found the people really friendly and helpful! I would like to do the course there, but thought it would be good to check my options first. Unfortunately, I can only think about doing the course in November (exams and stuff). Is training in winter an option, or should I think of trvelling elsewhere? The guys I jumped with all want to do the static line course, but I would prefer the AFF.

Hello Forgive me if this is in the wrong forum. I have achieved a life long dream by completing a tandem jump on Saturday, and am now making plans to complete the AFF training. I was wondering what jobs people on this forum do (apart from sky-diving). I have always wanted to be a sky diver, but am worried that my normal day to day life will seem really boring if I do take it up. It is really hard sitting behind a desk all day, after only one jump! I was also wondering if anyone could recommend a school in England that I should use? There are so many on the net, and I don't know how to rate them. thanks Phil
