  1. Thats a pretty serious error... I didnt laugh... ____________________________________________ Magazine directs climbers over cliff Wednesday, January 21, 2004 Posted: 9:16 PM EST (0216 GMT) LONDON (AP) -- Britain's biggest-selling hiking magazine apologized Wednesday after its latest issue contained a route that would lead climbers off the edge of a cliff on Britain's tallest peak. The February edition of Trail magazine gives advice to walkers caught in bad weather on Ben Nevis in Scotland about how to make a safe descent. But the magazine's directions would instead lead readers off the north face of the 4,406-feet (1,322-meter) mountain, which is notorious for its changeable weather and has claimed the lives of several climbers. Guy Procter, the editor of Trail, acknowledged the magazine had inadvertently erased the first of two crucial bearings needed to get off the summit. He said that happened during the editing process. "I'm quite gutted at this mistake because we print up to 200 of these routes a year, and this is the first time we've got it wrong," said Procter. The Mountaineering Council of Scotland issued an alert on its Web site about the mistake. "Getting off Ben Nevis is probably one of the most infamous navigational tasks in the British Isles," said council spokesman Roger Wild. Describing the mistake in the magazine, he said, "Anyone following that route in poor visibility and with snow cover could easily have walked straight off the edge." Procter said he was confident that the experienced walkers who make up most of Trail's 36,000 circulation would not be endangered by the error. "No Trail reader would countenance going out on any mountain without a map, and the route is given a high technical rating, serving further to deter the novice," he said. "This gives me reason to be optimistic that our omission will swiftly be picked up by our readers." Trail was criticized by mountain rescue teams last year for claiming three popular hiking routes were snow-free in winter.
  2. Wow.. everyone scored a lot higher than me.. (except ffgoddess). Honestly, I got tired around the 50th song and only filled in the ones that were obvious to me..
  3. If you were a kid in the 80's.. you really cant help it. That was back when you could actually understand most of the lyrics in pop music, and they were burned in your head because MTV played the videos over and over..
  4. Tom.. the situation involving "Jackie" was just a troll, and nobody is really sure of what they were trying to accomplish. "Jackie" never existed. No need to feel bad for her.
  5. You type so well with just one hand... hand solo...
  6. Actually I was calling out for more! We do have some great mens at TSC though!
  7. To all the "better stock of mens".. there is no PINK at Tennesse Skydiving Center. Feel free to run down south! hehe! I like the pink! Maybe GroundZero will let me paint our packing tents. ?
  8. Takes a bit of time.. but you'll get it! I scored 88%. http://www.yetanotherdot.com/asp/80s.html
  9. search posts (up in the toolbar), enter your name in 'show only posts made by', and it will list each post with a date and time stamp. Thats one way to do it. The rest are probably reserved for greenies. Kristi edited: Kelly, sweetie.. you have 3.5 pages of posts since Monday. There are 25 posts per page....
  10. "I am very easy going and I get on with most people I am into all sorts really I am training to be a skydiving instructor, in my spare time I ride horses and I like the ..." Its right there silly...
  11. your such a bad pack bitch.. disobeying and everything..... ok your fired.... kelly you are now my official pack bitch.. Only if I get to teach her...
  12. I drink, you pack! bitch! heheeh!
  13. See, Kelly? "mens"..... hehe.. just playin mark. You can mix your Red Bull w/vodka. I dont drink much red bull out though.. my best friend is a distributor, so I can get the stuff for free, or cheap if I want a lot of it. It hurts too much to pay 8 or 9 bucks for a jagerbomb.
  14. They dont call me "Jagerbomb" for nuthin babe!
  15. Wow!! You guys are pretty good at that RW and Swooping stuff! Cool video! I "feel" your line twists... Kristi
  16. Hey girl.. next time I'm in ATL, we'll go get shitfaced and see if the city can handle it! (we already know the 'mens' cant!) heheee!
  17. Hey turtlespeed.. I looked for invisible ink, and didnt see any... ?
  18. MMMMMMMMMMMAYBE... he posted an old photo from BEFORE all the beer grew him a belly and freefall blew the hair off his head? Even skydving instructors have to start somewhere.. (this is a little weird.. I dont usually give people the benefit of the doubt)
  19. Thats exactly what it is.... and the tip is to hire a cleaning lady!
  20. Dude.. youre in KRUM, TEXAS... how many other single women are there??? You'd have to drive in to town to date anyone else. This sounds much more convenient. Just kidding with you.. kinda! I agree with Keely. Tell your sister you wont even consider it until shes asked her friend how she would feel about being involved with another skydiver. If shes ok with it, and thats the only reason you think this is a "very odd dating scenario", problem solved. If there are other issues holding you back.. well.. start a new thread.
  21. LMFAO!!!!!!! DUDE! The redskins TOTALLY SUCK! and ALWAYS HAVE!!! They havent been a serious challenge to the Cowboys since the early-mid 80's.. (I'm thinking back to about the 3rd grade). Dallas fans dont even CARE about the Redskins anymore.. and they laghed their asses off at Deion "owww! my toe hurts!" Sanders for going there...
