    Bird on a wire

    We used to be overrun with squirrels which were great fun to watch. You couldn't walk down our road without having nuts thrown at you from naughty squirrels running through the trees..... until the developers moved in oooooo, He/shes has turned round now!
  2. The reality is, despite what the media portray, is that these 'monsters' are very few and far between. I wish there could be a line of discretion applied where thosed deemed to be a serious risk were identified but those that are no longer deemed a risk were able to get on with their lives without some horrible community witch hunt, the likes of which we saw over here when a newspaper published details of so called paedophiles.

    Bird on a wire

    Well, this little fellow been sitting on the wire outside my window for a good hour now. Seems quite content just sitting there watching the mad kids playing outside. Had to get a snap, less than 4 foot away from my window
  4. The stupidity of the legal system is what makes me glad we don't have the public notification that you guys have. I think it would cause more trouble than its worth. As you say, people who are genuine predators don't deserve to see daylight and deserve all they get but someone whos fallen foul of the law on a technicality shouldn't be named and shamed, such as someone marginally underage having consensual sex with someone slightly over the age or a malicious accusation from an ex-partner. That doesn't make them a sex offender in my book
  5. Sweet. I'll pack some oversized long sleeved shirts to wear over my jumpsuit!
  6. I don't think thats true. Neither of the people I think of who I feel like this about have been cop outs or excuses.
  7. I can't compare it to anything other than a student Zerox but my Wings container is so damn comfy. I love it. Looks pretty too and seems to have the illusion of looking smaller than it is considering its got a 210 in it. I automatically get put off by things that are overhyped and overpriced when there are other products that do exactly the same job for less.
  8. You definately can. I said to a nutty female friend of mine the other day that I love her in casual conversation and her eyes nearly popped out her head, especially as shes 15 years older than me and married with 2 kids! She realised what I meant afterwards. Never had any romantic feelings towards her, just love her company and hanging out. A friend who you don't actually mind hearing how shit there day has been. Another girl I feel the same way for was actually a failed attempt at pulling. I really liked her but she didn't like me like that. Hurt me at first until I got used to the idea and moved on, but now we are really close and it actually seems kinda weird to think about her as anything more. In a funny way I'm glad it never went furthur cos I wouldn't have what I got now with her. Odd huh

  12. Unless that man has a very odd shaped hand with blurry, almost cloned like qualities on his fingers, a very blurry window, jumper and room I'm guessing it probably is a photoshop
  13. I believe it will be a Supplex suit lined with a 'heavy' material so its not really baggy but should still disrupt the air enough to slow my fallrate down and still look good at the same time She didn't state a specific material but I'm going to go with them based on the postive reviews I've received/found and experience they seem to have with jumpers of similar body weight

    FUCKING banks!!!

    What bank was it out of interest?
  15. You're right. Of the correspondence I have so far, Sherry is the one that inspires the most confidence and seems to be very quick in replying to my enquiries. I think we have a winner. I'll get my my design figured out today and hopefully submit them to her Thanks people!

    If you were impressed check this out.. amazing live performance of what I think is their best song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQUGP6f6Taw
  17. Hey, who dragged who home? I'd have happily stayed and passed out there on the stairs in the club ... lightweight
  18. I would perceive a double mal to be to seperate failures of both main and reserve deployment. I'd say an entanglement is an unfortunate consequence of a failed cutaway/second deployment but would not constitute a double mal.
  19. Finally, a wine glass that makes sense!
  20. In the UK you have to do a very basic canopy handling practical before you can get your A licence. Its not really a course but there is an exam, you practice some techniques inlcuding what I think were referred to as braked turns and elevation turns and being observed by an instructor on a few jumps and discuss what you noticed. If there is nothing similar for you guys I'm sure the information will be available on the BPA website EDIT: Yeah, here is the manual in PDF: http://www.bpa.org.uk/safetydocs/chmanual.pdf
  21. Seeing as most modern terrorism is homegrown its not surprising
