Ouch, such cutting repartee Squeak: I don't believe in putting other people down. I'm not going to insult you or attack you or say mean things to you. That leaves me with two choices: either I can tell you to quit insulting *me*, or I can say nothing. I've tried asking you to stop attacking me & that didn't work. So yeah.. My response now is "whatever". Whatever What is it with you two? I'd bang your heads together (as my mum used to say in less PC days) - but I think geography might make that a bit difficult.

with or without an AAD? UDD.

Is that cow on castors? Could have a lot of fun riding it down a steep hill.

I did my first 800 or so jumps without one and never gave it a second thought. My then girlfriend didn't like it and bought me a Cypres without telling me, or I'd probably still be without an AAD now! I'd still happily jump without during a service, or if borrowing a non-equipped rig. I do know of a couple of saves at my home dropzone alone, though - not just low pulls, but proper out cold or incapacitated jumpers. When that happens to people you know, it makes the possibility of it happening to you a bit more real.

If he only turned it on for - I dunno, let's say the last Saturday of the month and his birthday - that battery would probably last forever! Or at least, as long as he had a use for it...

Didn't bother to open the link, cos the name's write there in the URL. In fact it's reads as though that's the title of his latest track: "I am a fortunate homosexual man." Tried singing that to a rumba beat. Doesn't work.

Aaw, what's the matter Tony - snow starting to melt?

This is another of those thinly veiled UK bashing threads, isn't it?

No idea how this can work, but yes - I do believe you can effectively retrain your beard. Electric razor manufacturers seem to think so too. I've seen references in manuals to how your shave will improve as your beard and/ or skin 'gets used to' your new razor.

You said it! Damned Facebook generation.

Adventurechick, coming to a city near you!! Road trip!
MikeJD replied to adventurechick's topic in The Bonfire
Your nearest city is 4,000 miles from me! -
Can you tell us what you want the sound for (e.g. dubbing a movie?) It might help in identifying something for you. I've synthesised freefall noise before - it's not super-realistic, but it's easier to work with than a recording of the real thing.

No.

Give him a break. He's 'foreign'.

You don't happen to be GQ_Jumper's room mate, do you?

You know, if it weren't for those death threats you keep sending out your account wouldn't have been blocked in the first place. Seriously, I haven't come across this but unless you're aware of anything you've done 'wrong' it could be that someone else has used your Hotmail address - maybe even a spambot, which would likely cause your account to be blocked. Do you have a good, secure password? Are you able to look at your 'Sent' folder and check there's nothing in there that you don't recognise?

Oh, ok. Mean landlord. You could just ask him to turn his own thermostats down instead of switching off the heating. But then I guess he might want to put your rent up! My boiler is 'on' right through the winter months - I simply adjust the thermostat to make sure it doesn't ignite the burner when I'm in bed or I'm out. As far as I know there's no reason not to do that. When I was a student (looooong time ago now), the only heat in our whole flat came from one of those portable Calor gas heaters. It was a godsend - put out a lot of heat, and the smell takes me right back to those days! Not sure how they're regarded now though - maybe anything portable and gas powered is considered a risk. There's no reason your electric heater should catch fire unless it's faulty or it's covered up, though.

I don't get it. If you're cold, why don't you just leave the heating on? You make it sound like there's some huge on/ off knob for England in the middle of Trafalgar Square or something.

A horse walks into a bar. The bartender says, "Hey buddy, why the long face?" Polar bear walks into a bar and says, "I'll have a whisky and......................... soda, please." Barman says, "Why the big pause?"

I'll settle for 'cute' if 'handsome' isn't available. You have to take what you can get.

Yeah, you have to be prepared for that

I have three sisters, two of them older and one of them a twin. As I remember we fought a lot when we were growing up, and it was only as each of us moved away to college/ university that we really became better friends. It definitely helps when you're not living under each other's feet! I don't have very much contact with them - see them once or twice a year - but I love them because they're my sisters, and they care about what happens to me and vice versa. I always think it's tragic that so many families have rifts, but I can see how it happens!

Still haven't played or even seen the game itself yet, but there's not much new under the sun when it comes to 'real world' FPSers. I love the MW games, but they're hardly free from cliche. Those explosive red barrels!

They smell like a baby's head.

I must have missed the history to this, but whatever it is - wishing you a proper diagnosis and a full recovery.
