  1. Says who? You got to be kidding if you think i am giving you the guy i grew up with this rig before i slide it in a few times. Seriously, i think it looks really good, exactly how we imagined it. The tye-dye came out well and the pattern kind of looks like a phoenix sort of logo or an angel or something. Maybe we should not have gone with the pinstripes but that is just a matter of difference i think. Anyway nice rig bro. I just need to think if you owe me any money from the days when we were teenagers before i send it to you. I'm sure you owe me some gas money from back in the day or something. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
  2. I think you took my post the wrong way. I was not suggesting that you suggested anything. Just saying how i felt about the matter. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
  3. I thought there might be a law about it but who cares.... they are doing a good thing in the sport we all love so much and where i come from skydivers dont try to get other skydivers in the shit. Cheers for telling me though. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

    iPhone 3G

    Can you imagine having a iphone with having to pay $2 a MB. I can not believe the leading teco did not give a decent plan. This iphone is one awesome gadget. I consider a smartphone with a easy to use email system very valuable to me, this iphone is one amazing gadget. Kudos to apple for making such a great product. The visual voicemail is something i hope that will work here in Australia (nobody has phoned me on it yet) as i usually hate having to check my messages as it is a slow painful process, this way makes it so much faster and selective. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

    iPhone 3G

    No mate, not even for home PC broadband or cable. I currently pay $69 a month for 40gb plus 150gb from 3am to 9am. I use to pay $130 for broadband with a 60gb limit. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

    iPhone 3G

    I dont mean space.... I mean download data. Downloading a email costs money. My last providers package was a $100 a month for $750 calls plus $10 a month for 10mb of allowed data and then $2 a mb after that. My new provider is $79 a month for $550-$600 worth of calls including 700mb of download data. I offer instant replies to my customers so when i am out or sleeping i have all emails come to my phone so i can reply. This now means i can download attatchments, without the worry of going over my old allocated 10mb of data. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

    iPhone 3G

    So at lunchtime today I walked in and picked up my new iPhone. Glad a i did not have to go to one of the stores with huge lines, instead found a quiet shop. They only had one Black 16gb left, the rest were all White. So lucky to get a black one. It seems the customer service lady at telstra who hooked me up a brilliant deal was actually full of shit and that deal was not able to happen so i have changed companies. For $79 a month i get something like the phone for free, $550 worth of calls per month, 700mb data allowance. Not a bad deal but we will see how much data i need. I use my imate jasjam as a pretty important part of my email life with gear sales so i hope the iphone does not eat too much data as the previous iphone did. I also hope somehow i can load tomtom on to it and not have to use data for sat nav. The new application that makes the phone a itunes remote and tv remote for the mac seems very cool, maybe if they get it for the pc it would be very handy for me as i run my computer from downstairs to my HD upstairs. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
  8. I thought all PD products were not allowed to be sold below MSRP, or at least 'advertised' below MSRP? In a way, i think what they are doing is good by having this rule but at the same time the rule i dont think was put in place to keep it fair between distributors, I remember reading something from them about it being so they can retain the value of their products. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
  9. *tongue in cheek* Is the Queen on your money? Yes? You're a Brit. No, The queen is not on my money. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
  10. You should send them an email and ask directly. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
  11. I would never let one of my customers place an order for a rig that turned out like that .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
  12. btw- I get along with BUIlly just fine. I am tired of americans who need a smiley face to understand the dry humour. I was having a laugh with Billy by writing what i did and he knows that. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
  13. I'm not a Brit. Who gives a shit what you are tired of though. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
  14. Who is Billyvance? is he one of those oldtime posters nobody gives a fuck about now he has not posted in so long? I think Billy should keep his dignity and stay out of bonfire. He has worked so hard over the last 45 days trying to spark conversations in serious threads that coming back here would just be going back to square 1 for him .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
  15. So took the dog to the vets yesterday and picked her up this morning. The Hip replacement had come out of the socket so this meant the vet had options left but not very good ones. The best option was to put it back in... no good. The next best option was to perform a TPO and that is what he did. Shame a TPO leaves such horrible scars. 4 in total and all held in place by staples for a caouple of weeks. The dog never whinned until we picked her up and now she is around people that know her she is letting us know that she is not a very happy girl. I am certain she knows what we are doing is trying to help her. The reason the $5000 hip replacement did not work is 100% my fault for not being strict on her movement and that was very unfair of me to her. The Bet has been a good guy to us and has told us that we do not need to fix him up for the second operation but we will give him $1500 or something. I hope this works, if it does nto work we are left with a few more options with the worst being a FHO. Her chances of this working are 50% but we have this time made sure that we have her in a cage, her leg is in a sling and she is going to heal. I think if this does not work i am going to make the decision to have her leg amputated as i dont want her to go through any more of this surgery. The vet says he is very suprised by how good she is, instead of keeping her for a couple of days after the surgery he got us to pick her up 12 hours after it so she would be more comfortable at home. My other half goes to Perth for a week so this next week is going to be very hard alone with her. A merceades car tried to overtake me on the inside today and then push his way into my lane so close that i had to slam the breaks on and a car behind me had to crash into an on coming car to avoid hitting myself. I caught up to the Merc driver and threw my thickshake through his window with the lid off even though i felt like bashing his head in with a tyre iron. So yes, all this drama with the dog is playing a very stressful role in my life so i hate to think how it must be for my dog. The Vet is one of Australias finest surgeons for small animals and is highly regarded around Universities in the USA so if he tells me she is a good dog and there are lots of options left before putting her to sleep and then also not charging us for the 6 hour surgery he performed I believe we are doing the right thing and have the right erson doing the job. Anyway, 6 weeks of intensive care and strict movement and hopefully she can live her life with her brother as a fit one year old. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
  16. Yeah, My Imate Jasjam does not over heat so will be annoyed if the iphone 2 does. I just hope it has copy and paste options. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
  17. I went to a different country where you can buy the phone outright or get it from any telecomunication provider instead of just one. The iphone is not locked over here. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
  18. I just made a deal with my service provider to sign on for another 2 years. I got a $300 credit on my account, I get the 16gbp iphone2, $700 worth of calls and texts per month, 1gb data per month all for $100 a month. This is also my business phone so pretty damn good deal i think. iPhone arrives on the 12th July. To get the deal i had to go through so many different customer service people until finally getting to speak to the 'rewards' department. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
  19. Wow! Excellent. Outstanding performances and beautiful story. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
  20. You should have tried the different route and told him that he is full of shit and then watch him explain why he is not. Maybe he was a real skydiver playing a whuffo story joke on you to see how long you could go without telling him he was full of shit. Might try that one time. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
  21. Who makes them and who have the best prices? I want to find the cheapest person possible as i intend to just give them away at the boogie we are helping to put together on July 25th-July27th .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
  22. Aerodyne do this with their elements range. 4 week delivery and they make canopies to go with the colours. Simple black containers with a colour 'V' strip down the middle. I have no issues waiting 20 weeks for a Micron with all the bits and pieces. Maybe if it was my first rig the wait would be a bit overwhelming but i am not brand new to the sport so i know what to expect and plan for that. Last quote i got on a Icarus canopy was 24 weeks! I have jumped Icarus canopies and personaly love them so can understand the wait time. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
  23. Ask him how he paid for the shippment. IF he says on card then ask him to show you the receipt. If not ask the time and date it was taken to the post offic and confirm it with them. if none this shows he has shipped it then come back to the forums and let us know what you found out. Stealing is not welcome but if you say a label was generated maybe this is an honest issue of him posting it and the driver stealong it? I know you know what you are doing as i just received my package form you but maybe you have forgot an avenue? .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
  24. The current wait time for a Micron is if you order this week it will be completed towards the end of November. AI have just booked a couple of slots. In my opinion it is worth the wait. So the lead time is about 20 weeks. Where square 1 got a lead time of 25 weeks i imagine they are just quoting a few extra weeks to be on the safe side and not to dissapoint. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
  25. of course. However it is not a recommendation yet as there are options before this. The dog is no longer in pain with the meds but was in pain as we were told to stop the pain killers before finding out that it had been dislodged. The vet is a great guy and this time round is charging me a quater of the full price because he wants to see her fixed. I have had a lot of dogs but never one as good as she is. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
