Ah, nice. Different design to do the same job then. I'm glad they didn't change the principal as I really like the idea of having the pud protect the boc. I guess this development must be in response to the odd problem they had with the old design in just the same manner as you described.

Thanks - that will be good to see how it contrasts with the old one. Do you know how new is "new"? My rig is only about 6 months old so are the pics I posted HERE the new one or the old one?

Hey all, a lot of you met me too, I don't see my name on anyone's lists (except vicky's - thanks ) Alana lived up to her rep and get extremely pissed to end up meandering arround the dace floor in a dazed state at 2am companing that all the broken glass was sticking into her bare feat. What was the count on the table fatalities in the end? I heard 4, counted 2 and have an amusing video of one of the Langar amputees trying to demonstrate how he broke one of them in two by laying his cock out on it. It was good to meet all of you, shame I didn't get time to come and have a good chat and get to know you all proper. And why wasn't there a group photo? (I'll post some photo's of the event tonight if I get the chance). mat

Cheers, thought so. Never want to give out inaccurate info though

perhaps two protracks (or more - but two at least) and examine how different positions on your body effect the readings. Keep one in a fixed location as a control and then move the other(s) arround. Also possible to mess with in different positions. Then get some tunnel time (skyventure or scientific - perhaps scale model skydiver if you only have access so a small tunnel) and see if you can model the burble that is causing the fluctuations in the protrack data (smoke in the wind stream etc). Then post data on here so we know where to put the protack to get the most accurate data for any given dive.

Potentially dangerous situation in thick cloud - any advice?
mr2mk1g replied to Peej's topic in Safety and Training
In Britain we are not quite so worried about cloud as they are in the US. You would still have been breaking some quite serious rules by exiting as you did if you were in the UK. We must be able to see some ground somewhere from both the plane and the opening height. I have to say, I wouldn't have exited. A go-arround, or maybe ride down if you can no longer find a good spot. Its your life dude, don't jump if its not safe to do so. -
that is funny as fuck.

Sorry but I gotta call bullshit on that one. I'm not sure if I have ever heard a phrase that is further from the truth than that. I know you come up against a lot of regs in your line of work but they are nothing by comparison to what is going on arround the world. America's refusal to accede to the Kyoto agreement on carbon dioxide emissions is just one example of that.

That is funny. Good graffics too. I just got 322.9 too. I bet thats as far as you can get. I remember a santa clause thing like this before chrimbo and people kept getting exactly the same top score...

You can try emailing maddy at DZ sports which is the shop at my local DZ. I think second hand time outs regularly pass through her hands and I know at one point last year I had a discussion with her about two brand new light attachments for them that were old stock no one had ever bought. She may still have the lights and is as good a place as any to look for a time out. Besides, if you can get the light bit the time out should be the easy bit. (I think there may be two versions of old style time out - one with an attchment point for the light (not to be confused with the "new" time out which I dont think is compatable with the light fitting) and one without. Needless to say, make sure you get one with the attachment point. Someone confirm cos I'm not 100% that there are two versions of the old style available). You can mail maddy here: sales@dzsports.com

bingo common - anyone - y'know poetry.... no? (by the way its from a poem called "to a haggis"... my dad loved haggis and had me believing for years that they were a three leged animal that lived at the top of scotish hills. It spent its days running round and round the top of the hill. They have one short leg and two long legs. The two long legs are on the downhill side so as to keep the animal level when its running round and round in circles. There are left legged haggises, (long left legs) and right legged haggises (long right legs) but they rarely live together in the same herd because of the risk of head on collision. Sounded plausable as a kid)

what the fuck is "blogging" ??? (scrol past the QRIO thing onto article 6 of 7) (sorry for thread drift)
-
Is that a "hard and fast" rule ?

Tats true. The membership card does suck ass with a straw! For the money I'd want better than just a bit of paper printed with an ordinary home printer the you actually have to fold up yourself!

1. Call them again and talk to a manager (try not to shout or discuss their parentage) 2. You can rent a car yourself and claim back the money from them. Downside is it means money out of your poket now and there is the risk they may not want to pay up. 3. You are going to have a loss of use claim. (UK this is £5-£10 / day) This means you will get a sum of money off her insurance co to compensate you for the hassle of being without a car.

I prefer the massaging it into the boobies method of ingestion

Cool - never heard that phrase before.... (the inventor of the bouncing bomb (of dambusters fame) for those non-historyphiles).
-
yeah - and they play the tag line of "raining men" over a huge loudspeaker if you cross the runway under 1000ft instead of a siren like at perris.

c'mon - that is the funnyest answer here. LMAO
-
yup - ive had pidgeon. Not bad. Very much like partridge meat or pheasant although a bit tougher. As for kebabs, one of the best kebabs I've ever had was in oxford from the "kebab kid" and they served it in a freshly baked naan bread instead of pitta.... lovely.

Thats not how it works here. Insurance companies never just pay up without looking into whether or not the can escape liability. With the insurance firms I work for this almost always involves farming it out to a firm of solicitors who know what they are doing (some do still do it in house). Its paying the solicitors fees for deciding if the claim should be defended or not that costs them money. Overal its still cheaper than just paying up.

By the way, I'm actually dealing with a claim against the BPA insurance at the moment. [dons fire retardant suit] Let me explain first before you shout at me. A member of a demo team undershoots and hits a daft bint stood in the crowd. A colleague is working for the claimant through her insurance policy. She knows Im a skydiver so asks me to write an opinon. I tell here the claimant has no hope in hell of ever winning (true - various reasons) so she should drop the claim. I think they are currently in the process of dropping the claim. [/takes off fire retardant suit] So you see - I personally have saved the BPA money by preventing a law suit against them.

oh yeah - cos Im sober enough to utter intelligable speach, the kebab bloke understands enough english (or at least gesticulation) to know I dont want any damn cabbage, lettuce, onion and the token slice of tomato. Because I didnt get served it, I don't have to drop it on the floor.

"...one of us, one of us, one of us, one of us, one of us, one of us..."

its amazing - when you're sober they give you this implement called a "fork". and you get a napkin too!! I never realised you could eat it with anything other than your fingers
