Yeah. Sure. I bet you weren't calling it "cheesy" back when you had the BIG hair, the entire contents of the local cosmetics shop on your face, and the frilly "New Romantic" clothes. THEN it was fresh, new, happening, a welcome change from Punk with all the safety pins, bondage trousers, ripped tops, Goth makeup... Wait a minute... Bondage Trousers and ripped tops... Ahhhh.... (sudden nostalgic sigh at re-considered possibilities) Mike. Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable.

UPDATE: Perhaps unsurprisingly, the police applied for and got a 24 hour extension from a magistrate. This now takes them to 1800hrs GMT on Friday. I THINK that they can still get a further 48 hours on top of this, which would take them into Sunday. I guess we can now expect a formal charge and court appearance on Monday. Mike.

Hi Emma, ITN & the Beeb have both said it. ITN have named the suspects but the Beeb hasn't yet. I'm off work just now so it's easy to dive in when the news is on. Mike.

Hi, Confirming a 12 hour extension. This will be the last "internal" police extension. This takes the questioning time out to 2345hrs GMT. By then the police have 3 options: 1. Charge the suspects - they'd then appear at court tomorrow. 2. Release the suspects without charge or "pending further enquiry". 3. Apply to a magistrate for a further extension for questioning or enquiry. This can be for a further 24 or 48 hrs. It's common practice in serious crime to keep the suspects from being charged (and hence not questioned further) for as long as possible. Reading between the lines of the news bulletins, if they've been named then there's little doubt how this is going to go. As I said earlier they're being held and questioned at seperate police stations, and I'm guessing that there's some discrepancies with their stories, hence the extension (which isn't granted lightly) by a senior police oficer.

Hi there, First update on lunchtime news. "David Mason & Adrian Blair, both 19 years old and fellow students of the victim at Shrivenham college and team-mates of the victim have both been arrested. They continue to be held in seperate police stations in Humberside Force Area and questioned. Their initial 24 hours are now up, let's see what extensions are granted or if they're charged. Mike.

Hmmm... Call me cynical if you like, but this stinks of a scam. "A dealer in Africa" covers a hell of a lot of sins. Anyone want to bet AGAINST "Amos White" being Nigerian & non-existent? Anyone want to bet against the chance that "Amos" may shortly need your bank account details for the transfer to go through direct? Anyone want to bet against "Amos" with your bank account number, full name, cellphone number etc... suddenly feeling a need to transfer OUT of your bank account? Beware! Mike.

When will the coalition forces withdraw? We seem to live in the age if instancy. instant coffee, instant heat, instant food, and now instant withdrawal after victory in instant war. Cast you mind back to 1945 and the defeat of Germany & Japan. In each of those cases it was about 3 years before there ceased to be an "army of occupation" and it was replaced with an army in occupation. This isn't hollywood. There won't be a solution that fits into 100 minutes. Expect 3+ years for the withdrawal. Mike. Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable.

Hi all, This off The Beeb: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/humber/3204423.stm Skydive murder police arrest two Stephen Hilder was an experienced skydiver Police investigating the death of a skydiver who plunged 13,000 feet when his parachute was allegedly sabotaged have arrested two people. Two 19-year-old men were arrested at 1245 BST on Wednesday on suspicion of murder. They have been taken to separate police stations, where they are being interviewed by detectives. Stephen Hilder, 20, an Army cadet from Hereford, died when both his main and reserve chutes failed above Hibaldstow Airfield in north Lincolnshire on 4 July. Humberside Police had conducted hundreds of interviews of people who knew Mr Hilder, along with fellow students at the Defence Academy in Shrivenham, Oxfordshire and Bristol University. A specialist officer with skydiving experience had been brought in to give the team of detectives a clearer insight into the world of skydiving and offer detailed technical knowledge. Officers recently investigated Mr Hilder's movements in the days leading up to the fatal jump and considered the possibility he had arranged to meet someone in the Scunthorpe area. The good (?) news: Also on local TV news - the 2 suspects were fellow pupils at Shrivenham college, apparently NOT fellow skydivers

I apologise for the links failing. I guess that some sites don't allow deep links, yet they worked when I tested them. I think I'll go cool down & take a bath Mike.

No. This is a bottle. This is a picture of a jug. Now go back and find that bottle! Mike. Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable. Prenait la pisse hors du FrançaisCanadiens méridionaux puisqu'avant lui à la mode.

It's one of them optical illusions... If you stare at it long enough a plane sort of appears in the background. Here's another. study the pic against the clock. How long does it take to spot the beer bottle? Meanwhile, here's a pic of some more sand just for turtlespeed. Mike. Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable.

I just thought I'd combine this thread with "Name That Plane".... Mike. PS: I'm guessing Twin Beech, but to be frank I haven't studied the plane all that much.

Hi Lisa, I'd strongly advise you to press charges for assault. The child DID assault you by throwing the pencil at you even though it missed. Firstly, let's define assault: "A physical action or attack intended to have physical effect on another." As such the child assaulted you by throwing the pencil at you, admittedly to your non-injury but that was a result of good luck combined with a lack of skill on the child's part (WHY am I saying "child" about a 16 year old? In almost every country in the world a 16 year old IS an adult and is certainly held to be criminally responsible). Yes, the child obviously "has issues". One of the major issues this child has is accepting that her behaviour has to allow for the common good. She does not have the right to behave as she pleases but must accept authority and discipline. SHe should also have to take the consequences of her actions. In this case she has assaulted you and if the consequences of this is an appearance in some juvenile court or panel then so be it. Children and the emotionally immature in general lack the ability to see things from another person's point of view. They only learn the boundary between appropriate and inappropriate behaviour by exploring and finding these boundaries. In not pressing charges you are failing to show this child where this particular boundary is. Regards, Mike. Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable.

nichts much in the way of rain, but a fair drop in temperature, enough to get the fleeces with the Phase-Change-Material out. Mike. PS. This Ark... a good rudder to put it into the wind? Decent engines to get some air over the flight deck? Big enough to fly an Oter off? Plenty of landing area for those of us lacking a little in accuracy? Any spare CVN's around? that way there's plenty of space for the animals to share with the pilots! Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable.

Hi, Personally I went for Scuba & canoeing. Not to say that I'd waste time on a site dedicated to these. What about Skydiving's incestuous cousins; Hang Gliding & piloting (flying is what we do - the "Slack Jawed Cretin in the front" is piloting). I offer these as alternatives to skydiving as activities, not as suggestions for sister websites. Mike. Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable.

Yeah... OK... But this time there's NEW people saying NEW things. Also old people saying NEW things. For example, this time I voted for "SEX", even if in skydiving a 3-way IS socially acceptable (see attached example of 3-way sex just for CrazyIvan 'cos he's an animal!) Mike.

Apparently these folk are dead cheap and will save you having to fly to Phoenix / Tucson and drive the rest of the way

I remember dogs and cats being compared thus: A dog looks on it's human and thinks: "He feeds me, cares for me, plays with me etc... He must be a god".

No. The speed of sound (mach 1) increases with density of the medium, so a "brisk walk" would do it if the pressure were low enough, but then the sonic boom would be extremely weak because there would be almost no air to carry it.
