i think it is called strathallen, that would be the closest to stirling if my memory serves me right. Hope you know what you are getting yourself infor, it is a ver cold country though very beautiful in all seasons. The best thing to do in scotland would be to buy a car. I was lost in the uk until i bought a car. Public transport can be expensive but the public transport throughout the uk is very good. I must be honest though, i felt very cold most of the time i have spent in scotland, during winter and summer, there is a shit load of rain, The people are fantastic though, much better atmosphere in scottish pubs than english pubs. It is very easy to get work in a scottish pub but they only pay around 4.50£ an hour. You wil really enjoy scotland but will also very easily get tired of the weather. I have lived in Glasgow, Isle of raasay, kenmore and pitlochery, every place was very unique. But again, if it is not a brilliant summer, it will be very cold or wet. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

Thanks that is the same price as us. Cheers for your answer, now i got to get ours cheaper somehow. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

well here is the update, this is the first time anyone in the uk has ever admitted fault when it has been deserved, i feel very proud before i leave this country...here is their reply..... Firstly let me express my utmost apologies for this situation. We bought this power adapter a few months ago and the price at which we sold it was based on the price we bought it for. We realise this is wrong and that I should have checked the Apple price before selling it to you. At the time which we purchased it apple themselves did not have any stock so we had to get it from a third party distributor and were shipped it without a power cable. From this I assumed that the power cable was not included with the product. This is again obviously wrong. I feel terrible that we have let you down so badly and that you feel we have ripped you off. We would be more than happy to refund the money you paid in full. Alternatively we can get hold of a new product next day and as Apples shipping to you will take 3-6 days we could get you a new one for tomorrow and refund you the difference in price. Their web sit stated dispatched within 24 hours but they then send it standard delivery where and to us they courier it. You can have the new adapter at our new cost which is £43.38 plus VAT. Please let me know which of these you would like us to do. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

Well i think this should not be in Speakers Corner, i am sorry to waste everyones time, i never meant to poast anything we would all agree on!! Is this a first? Peace .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

I bet you that has happened to someone before, you knowit might of...fuck that is funny, i think i would just laugh if i got that phone call and it was serious. you could not do anything but laugh. Karma is a bitch! .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

I dont think it is how long you have spent there as long as you have spent a bit of time sitting in a local pub or some other way to meet the locals, and watch the local news and hear local opinions. I am lucky, in most countries i have stepped foot in i have spent around 6-8 months in each country working. I am lucky because i have a passport that lets m live and work in europe and another passport that lets me live and work in australia or new zealand. When i am in a country i always go to school to atempt to learn the language. I feel the the uk has very 'neutral' news reports when they are about war and politics and decisions of other countries and they just report the facts without putting their 2 cents into it. Though i can not stand the peoples opinions in pubs or work. All the americans i have ever met except for one were great people who did not want to talk politics because they knew we could have a great time hanging out and talking about things that are fun or enjoyable conversations. Americans i have met travelling are not proud of their government nor of the attitude of the average american. I am not to say if that is right or wrong. The Greatest society i have ever lived in was danmark, i belive that they have the greatest social system in the world and it was fantastic, university was free and dentists and doctors and there was no road tax, though cars were highly expensive. The most adventurous country and the most beautiful country i have ever seen would be my home country of new zealand though i am not a fan our education system. The worst country would be France, not because of the people but because of how over priced everything is and as i am a traveller, i really hated all the tolls right around the country. Spain was really nice, i loved spain, barcelona was an amazing city and every little place i went to was very friendly. Portugal i did not like, we will leave it at that. The states, well the states is like a whole world with many different countries and cultures inside one country. Liked some parts, hated others. My fav place in the world would be Thailand and i make an effort to go there twice a year for around a month each time. Thailand is like going to a world where you do not need to worry about bills or mortgages orthe latest fashion, it is a country of no peer preasure and it is a social country where the only things that matter are sharing, love and family and food and water. I love that country, it takes you away from life as you know it and gives you a break from your problems as you everyone around you has more problems than you do, even if they are not aware that they have problems. I am just venting and do not want my thoughts to an argument, i am just finishing an 8 year worldwide travell and settling down into a good marketing position with my dz. The funny thing is, over the last year of my travells the only things i have collected are....a 6ft woman, a custom made rig, a custom made canopy, a brand new reserve, 2- pc 105's, a canon rebel and a a camera helmet. Not bad for travelling. Peace! .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

this sounds like this post should be in SC by now. Skydiving is dangerous....FULL STOP, who cares how dangerous, who cares what the numbers say....you are jumping out of a plane at a height that will kill you if your parachute does not open. Driving a car is an everyday thing, transport on the ground is an essential part of life these days, driving ina car , a bus, riding a bike, walking accross the street, all of these or one of these things is a risk that MUST be taken in life, yes you may die and yes you may have a higher chance of killing yourself doing this than skydiving but who gives a shit? IT HAS TO BE DONE!, skydiving does not have to be done, there is a chance you will kill yourself, it is NOT a risk that you have to take in life. You could die any day doing everyday things that MUST be done in life, or you could risk adding an extra danger in your life that does not need to be done. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

there is a advert in the classifieds section for filming in australia, offering good money too. Good Luck. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

surrounding yourselves with backpackers can be one of the most educational ways to this world, i totally agree with you and this is one reason i have travelled for so long. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

hi there i am wondering what other dropzones around the world would charge for this package. i am not putting the price we are charging because i do not want this to be an advertisement. I am looking for other dz's prices because i would like to know how our price in new zealand compares. 200 jump price package includes: total of 200 jumps all from 12-14000feet from a super porter 20 camera jumps, you jump our camera gear 20 coach jumps with video (RW or Freefly) Canopy handling seminar RW or Freefly seminars Video Editing course Load organising Free beer card 48 beers Free BBQ nights Free airport transfers Pool competition/big screen party at Muddy Waters Tavern Free accomodation thanks guys, this is not an ad, i just would like to know what something like this would cost at your dz. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

pretty scotland at the moment dude, it is frezzing here in hampshire....i am a big fan of perthshire as i was living in Kenmore. enjoy the cold up there. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

Yes, i have actually worried about it sometimes .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

opps, i was thinking he meant the tabbacco stuff you shove behind your upper lip. Anyone who takes snuff and sits there thinking they get a buzz off it apart from nicotine must be a complete wanker so next time just laugh at them that they are going to give themselves mouth cancer...i take it on long flights because i need it. _ .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

another big reason i ask this is because i have been travelling now for 8 years on and off spent around a year in between learning to skydive in new zealand(home) and it is all coming to an end. I fly home next month to take up a position as a marketing manager at my home dz. I doubt anyone cares but the countries i have travelled and lived in are.... Danmark Germany England Scotland Wales Ireland Rarotonga Tahiti USA France Spain Portugal Thailand Vietnam Laos Malaysia Australia Fiji Netherlands Sverige My mum says i phoned her from Iran but i cant remember ever being there I would love to hear what country's others have really put the time into travelling around and meeting locals and learning different country's values. please share. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

Dont rush it, there is alot to learn all that in 2 days! There is no point to rush it, dont you think you should have some time in between to practise level 7 or level 8 with a few consolidation jumps. Slow down a bit, good on you for passing what i thought was the hardest level though. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

I would just like to know from the speakers in SC the percentages of you that have travelled outside your country or have not. i am wondering if most of our opinions come from what our country's tell us in the media or if the opinions come from education by travell. We all have alot to say on many topics, but i was watching bbc and fox news and both had the same story's but complete different perspectives. I am one to think that most of us watch far to much news and have become a society that belives what reporters on major networks tell us from their nationality's point of view. Thanks. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

so a song came on over the broadband called fuck the police so i typed into my browser and found a funny joke... www.fuckthepolice.com _ .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

no we are paying for medical care we use, who does not use medical care in their lives? we have a fantastic system and do not need to worry about to much. For you to say that is a bad thing that we pay 25% tax, i dont understand, it is not much? how much tax do you pay in the states? our prescriptions cost bugger all as well. I dont see how this could be a bad thing. where does your tax money go? to war and blowing up other countries just to admit there are no WMD.....i think our money seems to go on thing a bit more worth it for our citizens.......anyway off to SC .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

come jump in new zealand, you will not need to worry about insurance .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

Blue skies planes avgas containers parachutes altimeters beer other people who love the same cameras people who owe beer .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

in new zealand we pay maybe 25% tax, we do not get medical insurance. if we need anything done at the hospital we get ACC and that pays the bills and then it also pays us the money we lose by not working. You guys get a bum deal with or without insurance but i guess with so many people in your country you are to expect that....i feel for you guys if you forget the insurance. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

$18,000 for a broken ankle, that is like 35 thousand new zealand dollars, nearly a years pay......man something is wrong with your country.....that is amazing that a broken ankle can cost so much .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

you guys need to pay for medical bills? wow, that sux...we get paid if we hurt ourselves and lose money due to not working. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

you may not be right.....but your mate is definetly wrong .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

who says skydiving has more adrenaline than any other first time sport? have you ever tried bridge swinging? or bunjee jumping for 300 meters? or white water rafting? or vertical bunjee? you say you want to prove it just because you are right? i take it you have done all these other sports then and know that you get more adrenaline from skydiving, have you ever gone up as a passenger in a pitts special? that is the same as doing a tandem and you will find more adrenaline there on your first time. You seem to think you are right when in fact you may not be. Adrenaline is different for everyone, i get more adrenaline from 300 foot bridge swings than i do from jumping out of a plane. Can you taste the adrenaline skydiving? if so good for you but you are not everyone. You sound like a dictator! get over yourself. _ .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
