Hi hope some ppl here can give me some advice / tips on what to do . the situation is as follows: i am leaving SA next month to work and live in london/uk for 2 years - thats the plan anyways - just spoke to brittish airways and they tell me i can only have 23kg - booked and 6kg carry on. now considering i am taking all my clothes - this is highly unlikely. the airline refuses to give me and extar allowance - even though i told them it is sporting goods. only thing i can think of is writing to dz's in london / uk and get a letter saying i am gonna do a training camp - and hopefully here in jhb they will be nice what else can I do ??? Peace Be Da Journey

I would love to play with YOU, we don't even have to skydive, and thus won't have any problems with blown sinuses. But alas I am to far away from you ... mmmmm thinking of playing with sunny ....... damn there goes my work day Peace Be Da Journey

Respect Sunny And Big Hugs to U !! Peace Be Da Journey

This may be a dead topic by now - but I totally agree with you. Thank you for wording your response so well. ( Yaaa there are some level headed, rational ppl on this forum ) Peace Be Da Journey

I didn't make it, I just got e-mailed it and decided to share Peace Be Da Journey

B Careful Peace Be Da Journey

Gummi Bears rule I still have some episodes on my computer as AVI files. Do u remember THUNDA CATS ?? They where cool as well ( have some of those on dvd) and robotec ??? - yasus this really brings back memories Peace Be Da Journey

I am on enough medicine right now - 9herbal medicine is almost pure alcohol) Peace Be Da Journey

I would say it is deffinatley safe, and in my limited experience would just offer this advise, if you are using student gear and are undeloading the canopy quite a lot - then be prepared to take absolutley forever to come down. ( beware of thermals on the day you decide to do it - as that will keep u up if longer) your arms may become a bit tired depending on how you are flying, and blood circulation to legs may also be a bit of a problem. but other than that I think it should be fine Peace Be Da Journey

yea finding nemo is really cute ellen de generas ( the blue fish was hysterical) I love my cartoons Peace Be Da Journey

U know what this is sort of a dead ended conversation, we can argue for ever about the pros and cons and I don't think either of us will agree with one another. I am not gonna force ppl to stop eating meat ( it is not my place or purpose anyways) ( you cant force ppl to stop drinking and driving and that is clearly more dangerous) I just find it very interresting that if you look at the general health of the world population that it has detteriated ( argument is ppl live for longer - that i agrree with) but esp amongst children there is a lot more diseases that where associated with ppl of an older age group until recently. as many articles as I find proving that meat is bad - u will find proving it is good ( esp articles funded by "aboutours" etc ) Having said above I think we are now beating a dead horse so enjoy your "burger" I am having "carrots for lunch today" Peace Be Da Journey

Spent the whole weekend in bed trying to get better so that I could make 1 jump ... did not work and basically wound up watching ... bad boys II american wedding tomb raider 2 just married finding nemo S.W.A.T over the last 72 hrs ( been stuck in bed ) - I am soooo happy to be back at work I must be really sick Peace Be Da Journey

By the way I am not trying to sound Righteous - I am just pointing out some facts. If ppl want to eat meat that is great - "u like the taste" but I have looked into the treatment of animals and read a fair amount about the treatment of animals food etc ... ( which is part of the reason I am a vegi anyways) Peace Be Da Journey

Okay here are some snippets from articles --- 1. The report, called Farm Policies and Our Food: The Need for Change, says the use of antibiotics on farms, to speed up growth and prevent infections among animals bred intensively, could encourage the development of resistant bacteria which cause both animal and human illnesses. There is also concern about antibiotic residues left behind in meat and consumed by people. Pesticides, which can impair the human immune system and lower resistance to cancer, are increasingly being found deeper inside fruit and vegetables rather than just on the skin. url as follows: news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/64458.stm 2. Technology has resulted in the change of the nutrition of meat. In the past, cattle herds grazed in open fields of natural grass and chickens were allowed to run free. Nowadays, these fields have all disappeared and replaced with industrial buildings. Animals are now under the care of professional farmers who breed and feed them for commercial purposes only. In order to maximize efficiency, most modern farms confine their animals in small areas so that the farmers can deliver their food and remove their waste with minimal effort. Such confinement systems are thought to minimize the cost of cattle and chicken and make the business more efficient and profitable. Instead of allowing animals to roam freely in green pastures, they are confined so that the pastures can be used to plant and harvest crops. Maximum efficiency is such a priority that even livestock feed has been designed to reduce costs and to make animals grow fatter faster. It is important to note that humans will in turn consume both nutrients and toxins consumed by animals. Url as follows: http://www.drlam.com/A3R_brief_in_doc_format/2002-No2-BeefChickenorFish.cfm Yes i know that they genetically alter fruit as well ... and I don't eat genetically altered food. But read the articles esp the 2nd article and tell me if you still disagree that meat is not of a poorer standard than 50 years ago Peace Be Da Journey

I am a Vegi What ppl should look at when they say that men are meant to eat meat because it provides all the nutrients etc ... is that in todays modern age; cows, pigs, sheep etc are all fed genetically altered food and thus the meat that you eat is actually full of hormones, chemicals and genetic "crap". yes - certain fruits and veg are also genetically modified - but i don't eat that anyways. I am not saying that ppl shouldn't eat meat - but nutrionally you are probally not getting from it what u thought u where and deffinatley not what you got 50 years ago. Man was not meant to be exclusivley meat eaters as years and years of archeology have shown and in fact we where considered food by many wild animals ( same genre as a baboon). There are some brilliant books about the effects that genetically altered food has on children across the world and also on the increase in diseases etc ... if you want a list for some really interresting reading - let me know.
