No word of a lie, I have client at the moment called Mr. Biggerdicke. The claimant in this case has a medicolegal psych report from a Dr. Hugh Kock. There was a witness in the case called Mr. Ray Charles but after speaking with him I've decided I'm not going to call him as he didn't see anything! I can't wait to see which Judge I get.

You forgot Bob. Bob is this Ozzy bloke who a few years back bought a job lot of military surplus at auction and accidentally ended up with an old nuke.

Expect to see claims by some that they are now able to nuke us at any moment and that they could bring their missiles to bear within just 45 minutes. Truth is probably more likely that the bomb they built, (assuming they actually did detonate a nuke), was about the size of a house and will take another few years to weaponize, assuming they can figure it out at all.

So you're saying Texas does have environmental protection laws?

Given that the Principal quoted in the article says "it's equivalent to educational genocide", it would seem evident that those children who fail must be summarily put to death. Of course it is always possible that the Principal simply has woefully a poor standard of English comprehension... which, given the subject of the article, would be rather ironic.

Wear it naked. Do lunges.... just me then??

Wipe your arse on it. It may not be the "right" thing to do. It may not be the "best" way of addressing the issue. It probably isn't very "adult". I would be pretty funny though.

Could Chuck Noris create a rock so heavy that even Chuck Noris couldn't lift it?

Personally I blame Mrs. Bertwistle. 20-odd years on and I'm still forlornly attempting to correct her inadequacies in spelling tutorship.

Attacks beget attacks. I was merely pointing out the kernel of logic behind tbrown's joke to which you were objecting.

You're not going to last long on this forum if you lack basic reading comprehension.

You went for Easy Vagina over Vagina Rider?

Ever watch any Sharpe? Seargent Harper would be proud.

Because depending on just how much of a religious whack job the individual is, AIDS could simply be ascribed to a punishment from God for being gay. If so, sharing a needle couldn't possibly cause any harm.

Unless you have an inspection and re-pack every 16 jumps though you're gonna loose the vast majority of the potential data. I'm just disappointed on behalf of Vigil as I feel they've screwed themselves big time. My "butchering" comments are genuinely what was actually suggested by one of the Vigil designers I met at the BPA AGM about 2 years ago. My friends and I couldn't quite believe he'd actually suggested we should make such a drastic mod to our rigs just fully to use his product. I just feel they've mucked up what could potentially have been their biggest selling point over their competitors because they were worried about being able to sell a proprietary reader unit. As a marketing decision it was quite simply retarded.

Plenty in Ireland.

They often do have very good beards.

I wasn't trying to pull you off anything. As I said, I really did mean it in the nicest of possible ways. And let's face it – you're going to have to put your life in the hands of your instructors at whichever DZ you train – that's simply something you're going to have to come to terms with if you want to jump. You've done all you can to ensure your safety and I applaud that. I'd also bet that given a couple of years in the sport you'll be back at DZ1 or 2 or whichever it is you appear to have concluded was black-death and wont be able to figure out what on earth you were so worried about when you made your first visit there as a non-jumper.

1) Suck it up cupcake, (and I mean that in the nicest possible way). You're simply going to have to accept that your instructor have certain obligations towards you. As an instructor, I can say that the vast majority of instructors are going to undertake those responsabilities with the gravity with which which they should be held. 2) Sounds to me like a pretty good description of any given DZ. Remember; tandem masters are often THE most experiernced jumpers on a DZ. They may be perfectly happy jumping when others stand down. 3) If equipment is rigger maintained that is good enough for me. Yes there are differences in kit, but if an FAA rigger says it's airworthy; it's airworthy. 4) Sounds like DZ1 has better facilities. Did you consider going to DZ1 rather than DZ2? (bearing in mind sometimes the smaller DZ has the cooler people). 5) The staff at DZ1 sound nicer. Did you consider going to DZ1 rather than DZ2? (bearing in mind the person who showed you round might just have been on the rag). Remember, some people suck at what they do. That may not have anything to do with the DZ at which they're doing it. Sometimes a great DZ might have customers who suck, (and vice versa). Shitty landings on one occasion are far from conclusive. Coleman do do some cool stoves.

Said like a true Republican, lol

IMO the dumbest feature of the Vigil. Say what you will about it's algorithms and misfires etc, but requiring a proprietary IR port into which you actually have to physically slot the Vigil control unit is simply retarded. With the proliferation of handheld PC type devices and the simple fact that every single rig on the market today offers, as standard, an AAD pocket in a window built into the back pad itself, you would have to have a head injury before you required a slot-in type reader for an AAD downloader device. When I questioned the logic of requiring me to physically slot the Vigil control unit into a device simply to read the jump data... the Vigil representative suggested all I needed to do was to have my rigger butcher my rig to provide me access to the AAD control unit via an aftermarket slash in my rig's back pack. Sorry - I don't want to cut my rig to shreds just to use your toy. I'll buy a pro-track, thanks. I don't have to cut my rig to pieces to use it.

Christ - they could have at least drawn it so the tow rope didn't go straight through the rotor blades.

He has a massive majority in all the polls and all the pundits reckon he'd be re-elected in a flash. There may be a vociferous minority opposition and he may have abused his position... but apparently the vast majority of voters don't care. That's democracy for you.
