So what kind of fishies did/will you get?? My b/f and I recently started up an aquarium.. He wanted a fish for his birthday, and I couldn't believe the cost of starting up a tank.. So I went on e-bay.. For less than it would have cost to start up a crummy little 1.5' tank, I got everything you could possibly want (*everything*) to fully set up not one, or two, or even 3 tanks.. Enough to kit 10 large tanks--including the 10 tanks!!! We're actually running into some problems with high Nitrite levels at the moment, so I need to dig through the mountains of stuff to find the gravel siphon, then do a partial water change. We only have one tank set up at the moment--one of the 3' ones.. We're keeping the 4' tank for bigger fishies.. 10 tanks.. Imagine how fucking stupid my inlaws thought I was when we told them about our bargain on e-bay!!!

Hi there! I've moved to England from Canada on a bit of an impulse.. In December my boytoy asked me to come over; in February (the 5th!!) I was here in London!!! With everything going on, I didn't try too hard to sell my car; I figured it would sell itself in the summer. Trouble is I've left it at my folks, who have no selling skills & are too busy to bother so I've put it for auction on e-bay. I mean, would you purchase a vehicle off e-bay?? You can test drive it if you live nearby, but.. EDIT BY REMSTER: no ads.

Obviously, as you say in one of the options for voting, a quick call could have avoided all this... Either way, it always pays to be nice to potential customers & the least he could have done is to politely tell you to fuck off.. Seems like a clear case of you being wrong, and he being rude.

Right, thanks! Apparently, there are other "issues" as I am not considered a "permanant resident" of the UK (because of the 2-year "working holiday" visa I have), and I've been in the country for only 5 months and 3 weeks (so less than 6 months). Man!! Why couldn't Espace be in August like last year?!! So far it looks like it's gonna have to be either Endsleigh or else I'll have to look for insurance companies in Canada.. Any thoughts on this from you canucks would be great!

Hi there! Am in the UK (not considered "permanant resident", though) and heading off to the Espace Boogie next week.. Anyone know of a good travel insurance that covers skydiving? Thanks! edit to say I may need to look for travel insurance from Canada (see post below) "There is no problem so bad you can't make it worse." - Chris Hadfield « Sors le martinet et flagelle toi indigne contrôleuse de gestion. » - my boss

Neither am I. Can we go back to talking about Nataly's avatar? Tee heee!! My boytoy is *very* jealous and would beat you up for that--if not for his massive hangover (am nursing him with frequent blowjobs and lots of sex.. well, makes *me* feel better, anyway ) "There is no problem so bad you can't make it worse." - Chris Hadfield « Sors le martinet et flagelle toi indigne contrôleuse de gestion. » - my boss

Ooooooohhhh!! I like where this thread is going... More pics of men in wetsuits, please!!! Anyway, black and blue are manly colours--just don't go into the pastels!!

BWWWWAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA!!! I worked for several years as an aircraft mechanic.. A bird strike could be surprisingly messy (and not just blood--cracked windows!!). Sorry about you bird lovers out there, but you gotta admit it looks fucking funny!!!

I'm lucky, my parents are very supportive.. Not many people have mentioned this, but I think it makes a difference when the people close to you support you and your skydiving habbits. I know if I started to BASE jump, for instance--a far riskier affair--I don't think I would be in the right mindset if I knew it really upset my parents. I guess when you're starting out (indeed at every point of your skydiving career), every little extra peace of mind helps. But anyway, you're a grown boy--you can suck it up and cut the umbilical chord!!!

oh great! thanks! I might actually be there this time as I haven't looked at the calender and gone "SHIT it's *Friday* today so I missed it again!!!" "There is no problem so bad you can't make it worse." - Chris Hadfield « Sors le martinet et flagelle toi indigne contrôleuse de gestion. » - my boss

Anyone from Wandsworth going down? Which bus/train/tube should I take? (Been in this country for three months and still not used to public transport ) Thanks!

Hmmmm.. I think it's a monthly fee.. I can ask, though. "There is no problem so bad you can't make it worse." - Chris Hadfield « Sors le martinet et flagelle toi indigne contrôleuse de gestion. » - my boss

I bought the PC109--it's my first camcorder. You can get the super-thin wide-angle lens now, though at the time I got it nothing would fit the 25mm lens without a step-up.. The super nightvision plus is pretty incredible.. Note that there is super nightvision *and* super nightvision plus. You'll need a tripod if using the *plus* because the shutter speed is stupidely slow--but you *see* everything *in colour* when it's pitch-black outside. Great for BASE videos in dodgy areas ... Get a wide-angle lens. An absolute MUST. I can't get over how little you get in the frame, compared to all my friends' camcorders... It *is* a very small, very light camcorder--mainly because many of the plug-ins are not on the camcorder, but on the docking station. All in all, I've been very happy with mine--and other jumpers consistently mistake it for a cheap-o brand camcorder because of it's tiny size.. Hope this helps.

He pays for copyrights. There is a fee whereby he is allowed to use any music commercially. Anyway, it's none of my concern but it is legit. Thanks for the tips, by the way. I may seek everyone's wisdome again, as I anticipate being completely confused at some point!!! Hell, it's a new job and I'll learn.. But I am so happy I can reach so many people out there with experience. Apologies for the stupidity of the question--I do realise it's basic.. I appreciate the help.

Yeah, he pays for copyrights. I thought Napster was in .mp3 format as well. I don't know, I guess one of the programs doesn't recognise it unless he converts to another format. Anyway, I think this job will be more like getting paid to learn to edit!! Can't complain! (All I've ever used is imovie on a friend's work computer--which was top of the line.. *sigh* it was so simple..)

Hi there. Just got hired working as a video editor and have actually very little experience .. We use Adobe Premiere and Pinnacle Studio 9. My boss uses Napster to get all his music, but for some reason it's all in .wav instead of .mp3--which both programs would accept. Any tips?

Anyone who tells you it doesn't matter is full of shit! Size DOES matter--but only if you're ridiculously small or fucking HUGE!!! Stay away from me with that monster!!!

DO NOT DO IT--SAVE YOURSELF!!! I dated this guy from work. Great guy, terrible relationship. And it was a fucking nightmare at work. And don't kid yourself--if you date her friend, you might as well be dating your coworker--it will spill into work. A resonating NOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Christ!! This city is so confusing! I just spent an obscene amount of time getting to the nearest train station, where they leave free magazines for jobhunters.. A mere 10 minute walk away--unless of course you hang a left instead of a right, and then get directions from people who don't have a clue where you're trying to go.. I ended up thinking "right, fuck it.. I know the station is somwhere in that direction.. Screw the road names, I'm heading over there.." 10 minutes later (not 35 as everyone was trying to tell me) I was there. 2 hours well wasted Well, at least this magazine is full of job adverts.. Perhaps I should call up this one: "Attractive ladies for high class escorting service. Under 26 years old ideally. Can make up to £1000 per night." Hmmm.. dunno.. sounds a little dodgy to me!!

Hee heeeeeeeeee!!!! Dude! Thanks for that thread!! I laughed so hard I nearly peed myself! Ok, you have to keep in mind I've never had a one night stand. Not because I'm opposed to it--just hasn't happened. But hell, you (hopefully!) didn't molest the poor girl, so she was as willing as you were. And how do you know she didn't feel exactly the same way you did afterward? Maybe she didn't even give you a second thought--not that I'm questioning your performance.. Anyway, it's no big deal. As long as you had fun and found a willing partner ! Ha ha ha ha!! Glad you shared your thoughts..

Isn't that always the way? They make you wait until you feel desperate and you're prepared to jump on anything.. *Then* the calls come pouring in and you can't decide which one you want!!! Hopefully this will be the case for me, and the calls won't arrive after I've already accepted a crap job in my doom phase.. It's so funny.. I kinda thought I wouldn't be in this position.. Moving to live with some guy.. Dropping a very secure (though highly unpleasant) job.. Yuk. Makes me want to barf. My biggest goal at the moment is to MAKE MORE MONEY than my boyfriend!!! Then when I get home from a hard day's work, I can expect to sit my ass down in front of the TV, whilst he brings me a cold beer--and supper should be on the table when I arrive!!!
