  1. Please read my post again before you get cross. I am not stating that it works, I am stating that the rule lives on. Two very different things. And to previous post I have heard it from a range of instructors, some english, some Babylon guys too. CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people

  3. I was spanked maybe 4/5 times - open hand to back of leg. Never did me any harm and I never did whatever it was again, I think. I have always been in favour of spanking as a last resort - have one kid and one en route but a little young to hit. I heard a radio interview last week on the subject and the anti spanking person made a surprisingly good point. In the UK it is legal to spank your child which means that they are the only members of society that can be legally hit. Doesn't seem fair does it? CJP Gods don't kill people.

  4. As a point of interest I wonder whether Empuria has any more incidents due to using this rule than any other DZ that does not. When I jump there I have never had an issue, but then I tend not to use the rule to calculate my exit seperation. From a gut feel they don't seem to have any more problems...

  5. It does. The largest DZ in Europe generally uses it as their guide for exit seperation... CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people

  9. Brilliant line. Made me smile. CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people
  10. Which would be good as it would mean you wouldn't be able to exit until c. 8000 feet which, I vaguely recall, is the height they are pressurised at. If you went out too high you could end up hypoxic and you wouldn't be able to tell the altitude very accurately (other than using Mark one eyeball). Good point though... CJP Gods don't kill people.

  11. I have been mulling over a theoretical question recently which is pretty pointless. Even discussed it with the wife. Assume you are on a commercial flight on a skydiving trip with your rig as hand luggage. If something was to go wrong with the plane and it started to go down, either in some level of control or not, would you be justified in putting your rig on and taking your chances out of one of the emergency exits? Bear in mind you might put the plane in more jeopardy by exiting. What about the exit itself, how would you survive that? In my theoretical world I am flying from the UK to Spain so the majority of it is over land. When would it be acceptable and when would you be putting too much risk onto the other passengers? Would you ven make it out the door without being mobbed by others? Despite the numerous above questions I have given just too options - essentially 'Should I stay or I go?' Thought it might be an interesting topic of discussion... CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people
  12. Agreed in full. No one should be immune from the law... CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people
  13. Nice idea but it would never happen. This whole place is subdued today though.... CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people
  14. Whilst it is fucked up in the big scheme of things you can get substantially lower than that. Paedophilia Rape Incest Murder Beastiality (which I am led to believe is legal in some states of the US although this may be rubbish) This doesn't detract from the fact that what you posted is fucking low, it's just that in this messed up world we live in the depths are lower still...

  15. Cool - so that's my answer. I might join a gun forum... CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people
  16. Why would you go to Google and type in 'replica guns England' in the first place or is it just so you can then post it on here? I was wondering if you had one of those systems like in the CIA/FBI that picks up specific words in phone conversations... CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people
  17. That recipe sounds good. And luckily I have my very own Juniper bush next to the hole I live in so a tick in that box. Edited to add It really does puzzle me how JR spends his days, in that he has managed to find an article from the well known publishers 'This is Hertfordshire'. It is akin to me sitting in the UK reading the Punxtawney Spirit newspaper on the off chance I might find an article I can link to on DZ.com. Question: JR - do you have a clever search engine that automatically picks up these articles and sorts them for you or do you just surf UK websites looking for them? CJP Gods don't kill people.

  18. It is quite a hard calculation because you have to take into account not only FX rates but also the both political and social coefficients of both nations. It has something to do with cosines I think. Anyway I won't bore you with the science the answer is: 1.2764 million in US money CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people

  22. Hence my suggestion of firing her out of a cannon into the un. I'm sure it wouldn't be construed as cruel and unusual... CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people
  23. If she consented to one person, had sex with him and then he failed to pay I could understand the decision, this not not what happened. She was however raped by a group of men at gunpoint. They should all be charged with rape and the judge should be fired out of a cannon into the sun. CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people
  24. What?! Really?! GWB exagerate the threat another country poses the US and it's allies. I can't believe he would ever do anything like that and he definitely won't then use it as justification for military action, that would just be irresponsible, illegal and immoral, especially from a world superpower....

  25. I used to be able to get to the DZ for 1st load (7am), do 5 jumps and be back in Sydney central by 2 or 3pm. It is a great DZ, loads of good free flyers but they can be a bit cliquey. Bunch of folks on here who could help you out. Avoid the train, either find a friendly soul to give you a lift (ask on here), or get the tandem bus from town. Train is a pain in the arse.
