Extreme hotness - skydiver courtship rituals... Looking for Emily - so I landed in the corn! and If you are bored like me... lets call Merriam Webster!

mmm.... cheap date...

sounds pretty dangerous to me... I knew a bunch of folks who have done it with round parachutes, but I would have thought if you get something wrong with your Sabre it's an instant dive into the ground... Sorry, got no idea on speeds needed. Be really careful if you do this - IMO it doesn't feel like a good idea. Stay safe....

I've got a problem that's really bugging me now and maybe someone can help... we've got a company website which I'm responsible for. (www.adeptmanagement.com) I can't see this site accessing the web normally. No-one in the office can - I get a 404 Error. I can access the site through a proxy though... Pinging the web name gives: Ping request could not find host www.adeptmanagement.com. Please check the name and try again. Pinging the ip works. What have I got set up wrong? It feels like a DNS problem, but we've had no trouble with any other sites... it's getting a little embarassing - please help. Cheers

You do water training??? In the UK we get a brief if the DZ is near any water, but it generally consists of "there's water over there... don't fly near it."

learn to rappell... from that height it'd be quicker!
-
dunno... try it and see...

Go and bug the guards JP! - see if it's really true that they're not allowed to move under any circumstances...

got grounded for a day for getting students to play drinking games the night before their S/L course... The CCI wasn't impressed with the smell or the colour they turned in the swinging harnesses the next day so he grounded me.... It was worth it!

any time someone makes a particularly stupid comment... my fave: "Skydiving! With Parachutes!" Noooo? I thought it was done with bloody umbrellas.
-
yup... just thinking the same myself. Tomorrow looks good, Sunday looks crap though Will just have to jump my ass off tomorrow

Magpies are annoying critters, especially if they're nicking your beer I did giggle at the "...It was getting too much - he was too mischievous and he used to attack children. He used to land on them and peck at their heads, which was funny to watch so long as it wasn't your kid."

more options... I'm slightly superstitious....

[head in hands] *sigh it wasn't meant as advise... I apologise if it was taken as such... I was questioning the reason we have threads that have differing opinions on how to handle it... If I'm questioning it, then I'm thought that maybe others are as well. I know I'm inexperienced and that's exactly why I posted - to point out how confusing and more importantly, wrong, some posts can be... I'm asking for this thread to be locked.- it's being taken in the wrong way. The last thing I want is for people to change their reserve procedures... That was the point.... apologies all
-
there's a big difference between registered and active though... I think about 4000 . mr2mk1 might remember better than I ...
-
if memory serves, I think there were about 5000 registered according to the AGM...
-
brilliant!
-
I've not made myself clear - this post is not advocating changing your reserve drills. Quite the opposite. It is demonstrating in a practical manner that there is not enough time to play with this type of mal and be clever about it. The poll was just to show that we, as a group, are not agreed on the subject. that is all. do not change your reserve drills

nope
