  1. Google Earth seems to have updated alot of the images over the UK. Found this, might be handy for you to find a good pic as I know when I went there I got a bit lost on site
  2. Yes, I shall also watch with interest. I know if you look up S3 vs Pantz on skydivingmovies.com you can get a cool video. Also interested in the Pheonix version if anyones got knowledge. Are there any prerequisites for jumping with tracking pants or down to CCI?
  3. Was the guy on the left forced into jumping or just forced into having his photo taken
  4. Yeah, hearts and minds in action. Haha. Anyway, doesn't make it any less relevant for those paticular soldiers.
  5. When you've seen friends shot and blown up I guess it tends to build up a little bit of frustration and anger. It is a warzone so we shouldn't be so shocked. Im sure it has happened and will continue to happen in many more conflicts. Lucky they werent beaten to death in some crazy mob, towed through the streets behind a car then the charred bodies put on display hanging from some local landmark. Now that would be animal. Who would do such a thing?
  6. Happy birthday me ol' china
  7. Think my bad wording has caused that sentance to be the wrong way round. PM sent to clarify.
  8. Feel I should add a little to the whining in here. Locals will know but for the others I have made contact with a few of you. I volunteered myself to help RedDevil1 out, looking in the line of groundcrew. Now I have no BASE experience and very little skydiving experience but I dont pretend that I do. To me this seemed good. Help a fellow jumper out and in turn learn something in the long slog to maybe being my turn some time in the far off future. I give a bit of labour, im rewarded with a bit of knowledge. I thought this was standard practice and a good way to work your way up amongst the community. I made contact with a few locals as much for myself as for him and it appears it doesnt work like that. Once a bad impression has been painted, its hard to change. Im kinda sad that it appears so difficult to get into this 'elite' group and the amount of fuss thats been caused has kinda put me off wanting to to be honest. Maybe things will be different in a year or two. Who knows. Anyway... stay safe, might see you in the future
  9. Good news. At least some of the money has been recovered. Was found at Ashford International Hotel, Ashford, Kent, UK which is area I live and also police. Multiple vehicles involved recovered and its not believed they used the rail link to get to the continent. I think its only a matter of time. Already number of arrestst made
  10. Things you can get away with in the air in the interest of safety On the ground... "its for your own good luv, you dont realise it yet but im doing it for you" *slap* Lawsuit
  11. Yeah, looks great... I take it youve signed up for the Baghdad Boogie then?
  12. Is it me or can every thread involving guns be broken down into three parts.... 1) Wild accusations to make some strange point. 2) Bickering about which country is better (I'll admit I am guilty of this) 3) Statistics dont prove a thing ...yet we love it!
  13. No furthur contact is neccesary but thanks to those who did
  14. Hi Anyone in or familiar with Bristol area can you send a PM. Thanks
  15. Sorry mate. Didnt mean to piss on your fire
  16. Haha, I see the funny side too But it was like only yesterday to be fair!
  17. I think someone beat you to it... http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=2092136;search_string=what%20is%20this%20guys%20problem;#2092136 ..but funny video all the same
  18. Egg whites! lots of em! Oh and potassium in Bananananans helps prevent muscle ache in recovery apparantly
  19. On an interesting side point. I saw a documentary on how the amazing Kenyan runners all come from one paticular region. For the amount of competitiors they enter compared to there distirbutionacross the country it is hugely disproportionate. Apparantly that is from breeding and the physical lifestyle they have lived (ie in the past) Please dont flame me as its not my work, im regurgitating what was said - apparantly they were notorious for stealing cattle from other tribes. Hence why they are handy on there toes
  20. Hehe, how things can come across different over the internet. Well, you are sadly mistaken as we have a common law power to defend ourselves. Believe it or not there is a legal defense to protect life and property.
  21. Well, we had pretty snowflakes! Gone now. I cant help but notice you are wearing a pair of shorts in that picture. Brrrrrrr. Crazy
  22. Which has what to do with this incident? If this becomes a Britain bashing thread im liable to get very fucked off. Paticularly if its by people that dont actually live here and have to live by our rules
  23. OK, terrible act. Horrific. But when will these stupid school kids learn to stop writing incriminating evidence in their journals/diaries!
  24. 1210 hours now in Kent, UK (SE corner). Still snowing as others say. Still not settling thank god. Stupid random weather. Edit: Oh im wearing stripy boxer shorts and a t-shirt!
