A friend of mine in Aus. who knew enough about skydiving by osmossis from hanging out with lots of skydivers, knew enough to call bullshit on a guy at her uni who claimed his first jump was a solo in a wingsuit from 20K Apparently she made him look like a it - good call.

Some places will offer different heights at different prices: http://skydivebyronbay.com/tandem.htm Also in Australia we did some demo tandems out of a chopper at around 6k. CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people

I love it when they are put through the mill. I am not sure of the Tory tactic of using the expression 'Liar' as much as they are but it is good that someone is finally addressing Blairs decisions with a view other than - @well it all turned out for the best'. Hard to call at the moment still however - I know who I am voting for though, or more specifically who I am not voting for. CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people

Well we will find out how they deal with me this weekend. I did my AFF in Spain nearly three years ago, then abut 20 jumps in the UK then the rest in Australia. I have a UK A License and an Ozzie D license. When I got back from AFF I still had one consol to do and they were fine with me. Lets just hope the same goes this time round. Good to see you over 300 Dave. Miss me? CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people

Do I have to wear a red carnation or something, or is it just look for the drunken people in the corner?

Ow, Bees. And they're defending themselves somehow!! ______ I suppose I could go into the fact that bees generally aren't that aggressive when swarming as they are just following a new queen and looking for a new home but when confronted with 1000+ buzzing creatures this would be little help.

Slight correction - Is wrong. Of course there are rules for war. Rule one, you would have thought, is if you are going to break the rules, don't video it and play the tape at your DZ. If you are truly outraged by this then get the tape and hand in to the appropriate authorities. We don't know what the situation was but all this does is undermine the people and nation involved.

Well Done Lainey! Wish I could have been there for it. Oh well, with the weather in the UK you will probably have more jumps than me soon. Miss all you Aussies! CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people

Watch out people, another skydiver coming to London. I won't be there for the Irish one but count me in for the next night on the town. Currently in Australia but get back to England ion the 4th April and will be looking for some friends. Another mate of mine is also coming over so will bring him along. See you in a month.

Hunt saboteurs have long been a problem in the UK. Generally they are a bunch of unwashed, uneducated degenerates just looking for any old campaign to fight for. Not that I would generalise or anything. I have never understood the way they seem to think that human life is more expendable than animal life... CJP Gods don't kill people.

Ron - I take on board all your points about not being able to carry guns to school work and places they are illegal. Fair enough and good come back. What about: You go someplace you don't need it. If I am going to my parents for dinner, or a friends for lunch I don't need to carry. What if you had been for dinner at the judges house when they were attacked? Again I think your stance on when you carry and don't is hypocritical. I understand you want to protect youself, what about protecting these family and friends as well. If your argument for carrying a gun is self protection then you should be carrying it everywhere you go that you are legally able to, correct? I liked this bit of your post: It went well with this bit of mine that you chose to ignore: This bit made no sense: In response to: Any situation where you are arming yourself has the potential to go wrong. a simple finger movement on a trigger is more likely to kill someone than the hacking of a sword. I don't see how the situation could have been much worse without a gun as you put it. In the case we are discussing they found the person and they left the property. My suggestion was that if they had had a gun and freaked out the person could have died. I suppose this could have happened with a sword as well but it is less likely. Will you admit that there is a difference between a sword and a gun or are they one and the same to you? I tried earlier in this thread to agree to disagree yet you seem intent on almost mocking my arguments and opinions. People will always have different views on guns. I don't feel the need to carry one and hope never to live in a place where I do feel that need. The fact that you chose to is your own right in your country. Personally I relate much more to Kallend & Billvon who, whilst in the same country, still don't feel they need to be armed to the teeth to feel secure. I am a little sorry for the people who do feel that way, it must be a shame to live in a society where you think the risk to your person is great enough to warrant that level of self protection. Before you go banding statistis about crime in the UK or Australia to me, I would point out that whatever the stats say, I do not feel that level of threat, never have and hopefully never will.

But surely this is hypocritical of your position in itself. You already stated that you don't know when you will run into a crazy guy with a gun so why would you not carry one all the time. What about those disgruntled workers? What about killings in school? Surely you are more at risk out and about than you are at home where you always have a loaded gun. Why do you then need one when you travel? Are you suddenly at higher risk? The problem with any gun argument, as a brief flick through the SC archives will show, is that neither side will ever back down from their position. The gun owners cannot understand why their opposites do not want to protect themselves and find it ridiculous that they don't and then there are people like Brok3n and myself that will never fully understand the need to carry a gun every where we go. I think our issue is that carrying a gun makes it more likely that you will use the gun, either in a correct situation to defend yourself, or in a snap decision when angry. This is not a disputable point by the way - if you have no gun you have no chance of using it. I don't doubt that mosty people on DZ.com will never use their gun in anger on another person, or in any way act unlawfully but it does happen, and even the gun owners must acknowledge this. In the Bonfire recently there was a thread about someone having an intruder in their house. AggieD recommended that if they had a gun (can't remember which one), that the recognisable loading sound would have scared the intruder away. Well what if the owner had panicked, what if they had shot the intruder. Now in hindsight you can say that they were protecting themselves, but on this occasion the guy actually left with no trouble - other than being there in the first place. That would be one dead intruder who it turns out had not been a threat to life and property. I am not justifying the intruder here, just saying that with guns around this could have gone much worse. What if a concealed gun carrier comes home early one day to find his wofe being banged by the milkman - in a fit of rage he shoots that person but it is not justifiable. I don't doubt that guns save people every day in the states. I also don't doubt that it would be impossible to get rid of guns in the US as there is such a plethora of them there. My view is - keep your guns, don't try to force them upon those of us that have made the decision not to have them and I will not try and force you to get rid of them. Guns are not the cause of, or the solution to all of life's problems. Eveyone knows that the answer to that is BEER. CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people
