    Maybe she was really ugly and they were ironic wolf whistles. Now that would have taught them a lesson

    I've seen someone have a brain fart and be unable to release their brakes. They had hatefull popper type fasteners where if you pull straight down you can't release them. You need to pull with an outward effort. That resulted in me watching them spiral all the way to the ground as they released one, couldn't release the other, got flustered and didn't chop away. Luckily it wasn't anything 6 months on crutches couldn't fix. In that respect you did the right thing to chop an uncontrollable main, whatever the reason.

    All cars should be manufactured with a faraday type cage in the trims to stop fuckers being able to use their phones. Then the only way to get any signal will be by the external aerial on a hands free kit.

    I was only 5 at my eldest then. But looking back I'd probably agree with Madonna. In fact, I'd probably do her now if she asked politely enough

    My mate told me a funny reply today. Hes a non-jumper but pretty cool and likes a good wind up. He said we should say that skydiving aircraft are aircraft removed from commercial applications as they are deemed too dangerous or have structural faults so they arent safe to land fully loaded With some of the stupid shit people come out with they might just believe it

    I had to come back just to call you a gimp... GIMP!

    Merry Christmas everyone. Couldn't not pop in and wish everyone well! Take care, Sam

    Skinny, ITS ON! I want to come over in a few months.

    Yeah cheers. I've been to Emp twice. Great place. Probably the reason I get depressed when I come back home

    I dual boot Windows and Ubuntu 7.04. Whilst running Ubuntu you can still access the NTFS formatted partition if you download the necessary program, which is available from the simple add/remove program function. I had a problem altering existing partitions too though, so I made sure I had them all set up correctly initially. The partition editor in the install software is sufficient I found, but I have never felt the need to create any additional partitions after getting it up and running

    You're right. UK jumping really isn't the same. I was gonna come over your way beginning of next year actually. See the pikey and see what all the fuss is about... oh and take advantage of your (comparatively) ludicrously cheap jump tickets!

    Thanks. I think that given your estimates, I just couldn't bring myself to part with it for that money. It's worth more to me to keep it than get rid of it.

    Good point, well made!

    You may well be right. I don't want to quit the sport and looking back on experiences of rental kit I remember how awful some of it really was. Maybe I need to accept I can't afford to do every hobby I want!

    The job is partly the reason for the slow progression. I work 3 in every 5 weekends. Bastards. I guess I just have winter blues as its not exactly enticing weather. I'm going to hold fire for now and just wait and see how I feel in a few weeks.

    He'll never get to repeat his first season though. He'll regret this his whole career. It's like doing your first jump and not getting video

    Hi, I am having a REALLY slow introduction to skydiving. I have thrown plenty of money on kit but its just not getting used. I jump so infrequently I don't know if I can justify the money sitting on my bedroom floor only being used a couple of times a month. I feel I may be better paying that little bit extra to rent kit when I do jump. I am a bit unsure as to a resale value though, which is where I would like some advice. As a complete rig: Sunrise Wings container, articulated harness, cut in laterals, (with 40 jumps) to suit around 6'2", medium - large build PD Silhouette 210 main canopy (100 jumps) Glidepath Maverick reserve (0 jumps - rigger inspection confirms this to best of their ability) - Still has 5 months on packjob 1 year old Cypres 2 RSL installed Collapsible slider and PC What do you think is reasonable price? Many thanks Sam

    Ferrari are an amazing team for sure. I'm pleased for Raikonnen but upset for Hamilton.

    A 1 -2 finish and a world championship. That's just greedy!

    I have a deepseed freefly suit. Very nice product, very good and prompt service. Can't fault them at all. Oh and dirt cheap (at least for me in the UK)

    My computer is locked down with so many passwords I'd like to see anyone try and use it. Plus I remove the PCMCIA WiFi card and hide it. I never use windows for internet stuff. It gets fucked up so fast

    Well done SA

    It was a great game. 'We' played really well in the first half particularly. I was disappointed with the disallowed try but retrospectively I think it was the correct decision. Habana never got an opportunity to have a run, Montgomery got smashed and was hobbling so the boys did a good job there, I think he was purposefully kept on the pitch purely to kick. Was such a shame that the likes of Lewsey, Easter, Catt and Robinson weren't able to continue. If we had a fully fit squad I wonder what would may have happened. If nothing else we've proved ourselves, yet again, as a great rugby team so I'm proud of our boys!
