you Americans are lucky. The British version of customer service is frequently service with a snarl. The American owned businesses are trying to change things but now you just end up with an incompetent teenager saying "and have a nice day" after raising your blood pressure level to a new high.

I beleive that the Beaver is currently broken at Headcorn - a great opportunity to come over to Netheravon - either drive down the M3 or if you are going sat am give me a pm and I'll pick up up from fleet station and run you there. They have a bunkhouse and ususally a couple of authorised jumpsuit dealers - and the weather is due to be good on sunday www.metoffice.gov.uk I'm drunk, you're drunk, lets go back to mine....

If you want a jumpsuit pop down to Headcorn DZ and get measured for a Symbiosis suit. Main advantage is that if it doesn't fit when you get it you can take it back and as they measured you they will fix it free of charge and with no hassle. I'm drunk, you're drunk, lets go back to mine....

I "aquired" a copy of adobe Premier 6.0 whilst on tour in the Balkans last year. The software is fine but I need an instruction manual for it. Does anyone know where I can download one? Thanks I'm drunk, you're drunk, lets go back to mine....

Because I am fed up with the crap British weather and want to jump... But the jell-o wrestling sounds fun I'm drunk, you're drunk, lets go back to mine....

If the police do not have the evidence against these two then why were they arrested? Do the police not realise the implications their arrest will result in and the tarnish on their reputations? It seems the only time the UK police are effective is when they are using their speed cameras. I'm drunk, you're drunk, lets go back to mine....

***No, the question to ask yourself is; do the ends justify the means. problem with that is that the road to hell is paved with good intentions. I'm drunk, you're drunk, lets go back to mine....

6. Thou shalt not kill. This point is of interest for Christians as the early church was pacifist - very much into turn the other cheek. In about 850 AD St. Augustine of Hippo devised the Just War theory - under which it is ok to go forth and kill provided that it meets several criteria - crucially did the Pope approve. This theory then allowed the crusades to take place under the papal banner. It is strange how often the criteria are claimed by sides in modern wars - frequently both sides.

So if you permit torture, you promote torture? The question here is looking at the incident in the circumstances at the time. Was the colonel right in the action he took. He was trying to protect his men and in this one instance deemed this the most effective way to do it. He was not promoting torture throughout his command as he was probably very aware that frequently torture does not work. The Israelies Officially promote torture of their suspects (following a recent court ruling) but do not seem to benefit from it. The question to ask yourself is - If you were in his shoes, with your mens lives at risk, what would you do? I'm drunk, you're drunk, lets go back to mine....

My suggestion would be to try ACER laptops, lots of speed and features and comparably cheap. just bought myself one and rather chuffed. I'm drunk, you're drunk, lets go back to mine....

It is that time of year again in the UK. The long warm days of summer are a fading distant memory. The darkness now starts at 4:30pm and the weather is cold and wet. I miss my jumping. The Christmas boogie at Eloy seems too far away and I want to jump NOW. I'm drunk, you're drunk, lets go back to mine....

A good jumpsuit is designed for the way you jump. If you fall very fast it can be subtly altered to slow you down so that your fall rate matches your team mates when you are in a relaxed arch. This is why you should wait a while after FS1 to see what your fall rate is like before buying a jumpsuit. I'm drunk, you're drunk, lets go back to mine....

how is skydiving not unlike being addicted to crack?
gremlin replied to Newbie's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
It is interesting in the similar way that both are viewed by outsiders. Both cost a huge amount of money, in both you end up predominantly socialising within that group, society as a whole has no idea why people start on it or why they don't give up to lead normal lives and admission to following both can adversely affect your chances at a job interview. The main difference is that you wouldn't invite your mum to a crack house but you would invite her to a DZ (making sure she is out before the party starts- in case she can't tell the difference - incoherent wafflings about floating in the sky and soaring with the birds through the clouds! ) I'm drunk, you're drunk, lets go back to mine.... -
A hop and pop is where you have exited the plane and been able to deploy your canopy above 2000ft - to comply with BPA regs. A display practuce jump is what you call it when you haven't exited high enough to do so and don't want to get grounded I'm drunk, you're drunk, lets go back to mine....

also whats the terms and conditions of a temporary membership?? You don't get a copy of the mag and you cannot vote in the election of coucil members - oh and you can't be in freefall which is more important. I'm drunk, you're drunk, lets go back to mine....

The Americans have Area 51, a vast expanse of desert with secretive bunkers hiding the latest in weapons technology... The British have a small garage shed hiding the latest in horse and hounds magazine. I'm drunk, you're drunk, lets go back to mine....

Had a go in a balloon a couple of months back. SUPERB. The ride is half of the fun, you have no control so are constantly looking for potential landing areas and hazards and the silence is astouding, you get the feeling you are a bird lazily soaring over the earth. The jump itself is great, the balloon has to be descending when you get out or it will rise dangerously and your altitude is likely to be low anyway. When you jump the air noise builds to a crescendo before you dump and frantically try to select a place to land. Make sure you have the qualifications and ability to do one but make sure you so one.

Best set of winter gloves are cross country ski gloves as they offer excellent grip but are warm ... and the other advantage of winter is that my girlfriend is too much of a wuss to jump so I get free pack jobs I'm drunk, you're drunk, lets go back to mine....
