Here's another quote for you. This is from a statement by Hitler made on March 20, 1943. Spot the similarities: I place both these in the same boat and firmly believe that this letter is an incitement of racial hatred and no creedance should be given to it. CJP Gods don't kill people.

I wonder how much they want for it? Maybe we should all chip in, buy it, donate to HH and then redirect to the DZ.com page. Just a better idea than bitching about it. CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people -
Brace youselves: Billy Bragg Kasey Chambers Del McCroury Steve Earle (always) Serena Ryder (Look her up, she's cool) Johnny Cash Harry Manx - For those who like blues - again look up Fred Eaglesmith And a tribute album to Waylon Jennings called "Lonesome, O'nry & Mean" CJP Gods don't kill people.

Huge difference in jump prices
CornishChris replied to CanuckInUSA's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
At my DZ if you wanted to do a hop n pop and nothing else it would cost you US$25. It is AU$35 to the top or for an HnP. I have suggested they reduce the rate for Hop n Pops but to no avail. Mind you it is only AU$30 if you buy tickets in batches of ten. Just the way it is... CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people -
I have a few friends who have run with the bulls. Apparently one of them was so far ahead of them that he never even saw a bull until they got into the stadium at the end. What they then do is when everyone has made it to the stadium they let the bulls in one by one for a laugh. Andy didn't know this... He only got gored a bit and lived to tell the tale but the description of him frozen in fear as a bull appears from nowhere was highly amusing. So yep, when I get back to Europe I will definately be off to Pamplona for the Bull Running. On the other hand if it's stupid Spanish Festivals you want then it doesn't get any stupider than "La Tomatina" - the worlds largest vegetable fight... CJP Gods don't kill people.

I seldom post in here but feel I should after some of the comments here. Firstly I cannot fathom any comparison made between the current war in Iraq and the second world war in Europe. In WW2 the war had been raging in Europe for several years with hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of US 'allies' killed and with countries, speicifically England, begging for support from the US prior to their engagement in 1941. In Iraq you have a country that, internationally, was not considered a threat and despite that the US, and coalition, invaded. In WW2 there was a massive demonstrated threat to the way of life of pretty much everyone in the Western World, the mass extermination of entire races and an obvious and tangible enemy. In Iraq there was an unproven potential threat and loose links to a possible terror network. I find it offensive to make these comparisons. CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people

Yeah - they did a tour with Steve Earle a few years ago - I saw them play in Cheltenham, UK - and released an album called "The Mountain". I totally dig them - very cool band. CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people

Could you date someone that had a sex change?
CornishChris replied to sunshine's topic in The Bonfire
I have an interesting slant on thi. In Big Brother 27, or whatever we are on, here in Australia they are about to introduce a Transexual called Miriam into the house to "spice things up". Miriam is pseudo famous for having been on a show were 6 guys tried to win her/him not knowing the big secret. It is public knowledge she/he is a transexual. When they found out it cost GBP125,000 to each of the contestants from the production company to get the thing on the air. thread Now say they introduce Miriam into the BB house and one of the guys pulls her. Everyone on the outside knows this is a guy (pre-op) but they are keeping it secret from the people inside so the bloke hinks he is pulling a girl but all his family & friends know otherwise. What sort of a can of worms could this open?! The guy will get HELL from all his mates who know about this. They are being put in a potentially shattering position by the production company in the interests of audience figures. I, personally, think it is outrageous. Anyway I would be interested to hear others views and I also want it to be known i learnt all this info from the adverts to the show having not watched even a minute of Big brother...

This is crazy - how much does a gold band cost. My wifes was like 100 pounds - $160 dollars for a 22 carat gold band. Her engagement ring was about $2000 and my grooms band was found in her grandmothers garden... CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people

My grandfather and grandmother were living in one of the few houses still standing in Coventry - my Grandad worked on Spitfires as he was too old for the 2nd World War. My wife's Grandad was dropped into Normandy (his 1 off jump) as an army medic. his platoon was all over the place anxd they were dropped in the worng place - he eventually caught up with his platoon on Pegasus Bridge. His platoon later went on to liberate Belson and he was the first medic in there - something he will not discuss. At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them.

So anyone live in NYC who can tell me where to go for a salubrious night out. I am there in three weeks for a wedding and about 5/6 of us want to go out and have a mini stag/bachelor party but I have no idea where to go or what to do. I know that the groom (an to be honest the others too, and me) will probably want to look as some scantily clad maidens at some pointand everyone else will want to drink until they fall over. Any ideas from the massive in NYC? CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people

Make Sure Your Slider Is ALL The Way Down
CornishChris replied to Kramer's topic in Safety and Training
So if you can't jump regularly you shouldn't jump at all? What if you are in a place non conducive to jumping? I did my AFF the same time as my bro (Cornishrich) in July 2002 and I have 180 odd jumps and he has around 40 as I am in Australia and he is in England. Should he give up because his work/time restrictions and the English weather restrict his jumping? Whenever he has a layoff of a few months he does a currency jump with an instructor. He then takes it very easy for the first few jumps. I believe that you can be safe as long as you continue to refresh yourself after each break. I disagree that the line should be so strict as jump or don't jump. If it gets to that then are we going to quiz prospective AFF students as to how much they intend on jumping and not train them if it is too small an amount? My 2 cents/pence CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people -

Pilot chute caught underneath main
CornishChris replied to nael's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
A big spring loaded pilot chute will give a heap load more drag if in the wrong place than a collapsible PC on most sport rigs. Was the PC over the front and then back through under tha canopy? i have seen that configuration laded several times at Picton. Surprised they told you yuou should have chopped but what you learnt more is to really check your canopy - the last thing you want are surprises at 100 feet. How is AFF going Nicole? I haven't been down since Oli, Rusty & I took the day off for what is now fondly known as "eight jump Thursday" i also forgot to ask Oli about his jumpsuit and will do so...
