What - it's nearer than me and I can do it in 55 mins! Should take 10 mins onto expressway then 40 mins from there. Squeak - you stick to your side of the country and I'll stick to mine CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people

Croz You live in London. It has always amused me when Sydney press starts complaining about their rail services when if you compare the service here to that of the UK it is brilliant. Public transport is pretty good here. i would recommend living somewhere like Marouubra - 20 mins from CBD but near to beach etc. Take advantage of the lifestyle while you can.

You will probably end up living about 1 hr from a good DZ: Picton as Squeak said, and unless you want to live a bit out of Sydney then the magic 45 mins will be hard to acheive. However after a few months in Australia you will start to look at distance as the Aussies do - i.e. 1 hr is fuck all. In fact a 5/6 hr drive for one night is not unusual. I would definanty go for live in Sydney and drive the extra few minutes. You should fit in at Picton, lots of Pommies like us. CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people

You should all think yourselves lucky. Our DZ charges the same for whatever height you want - AU$35 (AU$30 if bought in batches of 10) CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people

I agree that people should absolutel take responsibility for their actions. Is it the responsibility of a coach, however, who has taught his AFF students not to do hook turns when 80 jumps after they finish AFF they do a hook turn. There are similar discussions going on on the BASE board, should mentors be responsible for the actions of their students and when does this responsiobility stop. What I am getting at is that whilst it is important for us to cultivate a culture of responsibility it is also important to stop mud slinging after incidents. There is little to be gained from quickly apportioning blame other than self satisfaction. CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people

Just got in to work and checked the boards. The post re: the incident in Denmark got me thinking about how much of a blame culture we operate in. People on there are so quick to throw blame around, as they are with many incidents (not necessarily actual examples): It's the coaches Fault It's the person who sold him the canopy Its the DZO for letting him jump like this Its his friends for doing this jump with him instead of walking away. It's anyone but me Its anything but the fact that skydiving is dangerous Why are we so obsessed with blame? Is it that the general skydiver just refuses to believe that we play in a fucking dangerous world and tries to hide this by pinning responsibility on an individual when actually accidents are always going to happen. I have always hated blame. I used to work with someone who, whenever anything went wrong (and this was live TV so things went wrong regularly), would just sit around shouting about who was to blame, not looking forward and saying: how can we sort this problem out to get things moving. Yes we need to analyse accidents and learn from them but surely there is a better way to do this than to sklap a big "BLAME" sticker on someone then sit back with a smug grin and go on doing what we do. Stop blaming coaches for accidents that happen to jumpers with 100 jumps who should know better. Start building an atmosphere of support and learning from an incident not blame. And when accidents do happen don't reach immediately for the tar and feathers, surely these people have got enough to deal with. No one wants to die. Thoughts? CJP Gods don't kill people.

I do have a W/angle lens and it is flush with the front of the box. Pretty sure it isn't riser slap too as I am not feeling anything at all. Will be looking into a second bungy. CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people

I have done about fifteen jumps with my new Cookie Composites camera helmet and PC108. On about 5 of them I find that the camera box is open under canopy. It is shut on exit and in freefall but I can feel it open under canopy and rattling. I then shut it and all is fine. The box is secured shut with an elastic bungy, that is very tight, that sits in a groove on the cover. Attached is a picture of the lid. I know a number of others who jump this lid and have no problems and I have spoken to the company who have not heard of this before on their lids. Any ideas why this would be happening?

Better yet, find a skydiving doctor and ask them. My Optometrist told me I would need to give up jumping beacuse it was fucking my eyes up. I found a skydiving Optometrist who told me it was nothing to do with jumping and was all the 'puter stuff I do. CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people

It comes down to this bizarre situation where people seem to be happy that their kids watch shows with endless murders, gun fights etc. but get scared when a tit is shown. Ron's comment aboput friends of his being pissed when JJ's tit came out is interesting. Of course they have a right to be pissed, the question is why in the hell would they be pissed in the first place. I can understand the parentstv mob getting stressed about shows with loose depictions of lost teenage virginities etc. but the showing of a breast, something which half the population have two of, is not something to get stressed about. In the UK & Europe there are topless women on many beaches in the summer, it's no big thing. People are comfortable with the naked human form, as I think they should be. Yes parents have the right to censor what their kids watch on TV, no arguments there, but why has the US got to a stage where it feels the need to with nudity, I'm not talking porn but just nudity? That to me is the more underlying issue. CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people

WTF! Do you have any idea what you are saying? One of the tin pot countries in the list was the US. Another the UK. Well read and absorbed. I cannot fathom what makes you believe that the US is going to bring about peace in the world in some crazed unilateral strike against the rest of us. What these 'dirt countries' do is make what the US Coalition has done have some substance. If they were not in a coalition with you then the act of invading Iraq would be an act of aggression from one country against another placing the US squarely in the cross hairs. You were unable to act alone and so you rallied for the support of, as GWB puts it "The coalition of the willing". A fine way of sidelining the UN and basically rallying countries too scared of the US to your sides, to make them do what you want to do. Don't then disparrage these very countries. They are the only reason this war was able to happen. It doesn't matter that some of these countries have only a few hundred troops stationed in Iraq. They were not the drivers behind this action. ***Furthermore, the US is owed everything.*** Please elaborate? I don't see how the US is owed anything in particular from their recent actions. Have they made the workld a safer place? No. Have they been responsible for the deaths of tens of thousands of Civilians? Yes. What does the world owe you exactly? Surely not thanks? It is views like yours, expressed in the manner you did, that anger non US citizens and taint their views of what is undoubtedly a great country that is struggling to do the right thing.

I think itis harder to get guns in the UK than it is in the states. If you do not then take another look at the figures. If I was dreaming then you would be saying the following: "I hate guns and everything they stand for.", then you would turn into a fish and I would be selling cakes to a small chinese man who lived on top of a tree.

I'm with you on this Quade. I disagree with the whole Guns don't kill people and are just tools statement. In a country like the US that is saturated with Guns it is easier for criminals to get hold of them. Yes we have gun crime in the UK but it is a lot harder for the criminals to get hold of the weapons, hence the reduced rate. Stating that we still have gun crime and therefore gun bans don't work (as was done with the thread about Canada), is ridiculous. In a place saturated to the gills with Guns how hard is it for those who want to to get them. Another example of this: It is easy for underage kids to get hold of liquor illegaly as it is so readily available to those for whom it is legal. If there was a prohibition of alcohol people would still drink but it would be that much harder to get hold of the substance in the first place that underage drinking would go down. All that said it is an argument that neither side is ever going to be willing to back down on. CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people
