You missed the point. Feel free to continue this privately, or wait until I get back to Sebastian and we can debate the issue then.

I know there was a thread earlier about washing containers, my problem is a little different. I have a newish rig (30 jumps). Lent it to a friend, when I got it back it had some white gluey substance on it. We suspect it was from duct tape in the plane. It was suggested to me that I use Benzine to get the glue off - is this a good or bad idea?

Hmmm, so now you get to decide what kind of *crap* does belong here? When exactly were you put in charge? Yep, all my 900-odd posts were trolls (anonymous of course)... Will PS I'm not homophobic, I have a gay friend....

Touchy touchy... 25kg? well done dude, but I won't be suggesting your method to Weight Watchers just yet, might be just a little too radical for them!

Not me, all those big words give me a head-ache and I don't even own an ensyklopediah... /s PS AA, do you jump in the UK and where? (also where do you get your gear and how much are you paying? feel free to continue this conversation privately)

How come fat people don't have to pay more for their jump tickets than me? It already pisses me off on airlines that I am limited to 25kg for luggage and then I see people on the plane who are carrying that much excess in their butts alone (not up their butts, those people are our friends!). So, really, shouldn't fat bastard skydivers pay more for their jump tickets? To hell with all this natural arch and genetic blah blah bull-shit - fat people make the plane climb slower. I look forward to your replies (anybody outside the states too) /s

Hi Merrick No worries man, even though I usually don't jump with low-timers, I'll make an exception in your case. As soon as you and your chick can fall stable, I'm willing to jump with you. And because I like you guys, you only have to pay my slot! skreamer Lord of the Loveland Low-timers

Dear Mr. Blue I am your biggest fan, I think you are amazing! One day when I grow up, I want to be just like you. Unfortunately I don't get the Parachutist, could you please send me a copy with your autograph? Also if you could include a complimentary Cobalt '150 that would be really nice. I asked Santa for one but the senile old bastard forgot. I look forward to getting my autographed mag (and also my complimentary canopy). Thanks! skreamer (aged 3 years and 307 months)

waaaaaaaahahahaha Fuckin' brilliant! Best thing I've read on this forum in quite a while. LMFAO, now excuse me so I can go find my dealer, shoot up and try and make the sunset load. Gee, I wonder if my cypres REALLY works... hahahahaha, nice one AA! Will

All your mates? All your mates??? I feel so used, how about you Ben? True, this is a sad day indeed, but congratulations Judas, err, sorry, Mooose skreamer formerly known as mooose's mate PS (nice one)

Hell, when I was doing AFF, I was watching a rigger repack a reserve. I asked him why it didn't have a 3-ring system just like the main....

Gaan kak in die mielies! Geniet die vakansie, ons sien uit om jou September hier te ontmoet! /s PS Sangiro can you still say "klipdrift and coke"???

Sir, step away from the belly flyers, Sir, do NOT speak to the belly flyers, Sir remove that RW suit.... Just kidding dude, Ben and I will be at Langar this weekend for some kamikaze RW, be sure to say Hi! /s PS we drink beer too...

Hmmm, notice you didn't mention skydiving ONCE in your holiday plans... Checked your profile, no license or jump numbers listed...... Sangiro, are you a whuffo? /s PS one at a time please people!

Nah, he enjoys getting flamed!

WTF??? How nice of you... How considerate and re-assuring of you, why did you feel the need to say that? Maybe right now freefall is great, but you have even less jumps than me and one day you will realize that skydiving alone isn't enough to sustain a relationship. But I am still gobsmacked by your post. Whoever Kristina is, I feel really sorry for her. Will

Mostly 2-dimensional gay air ballet belly flyers (Ghaaa phew!!!!), but they are all South African and total piss-head lunatics (kind of like me but worse). We are going no matter what the weather. If it rains we will just drink and braai the whole weekend (and talk lots of kak).

Just heard from the others. Looks like I will be at Weston this weekend. They wanted a DZ where we could braai, drink and camp at the DZ (maybe even skydive) - when we checked out Hinton yesterday, not that many people seem to stay on the DZ at night. Ben, you should come along, there's going to be a biggish group of us and the social side should be good. Then I will go to Hinton the following weekend (I want to try out quite a few English DZs anyway). Sangiro, these are mostly all ex-Citrusdal jumpers and you should know quite a few of them. Will

Ben, Hinton sounds good! I get my freeflysuit tomorrow morning, so will hopefully be able to carry on where I left off in Florida. If the weather co-operates there is a good chance I can do my 100th on Sunday (what am I saying, this is England....) /s BTW that place is like an amazonian enclave, thats why I had to leave in such a hurry on Sunday - there were just way too many hot female skydivers walking round in wonderbras... (even the majority of the students were female!!!)

Except for the skydivers he chooses to jump and hang out with, there he has exceptional taste and is very blessed! Ben, we HAVE to go to Hinton! Thanks for the invite to make my 100th with your 200th Emma (and Sangiro will be in London shortly, hmmmmm...). Also, don't forget that rodeo jump! Funniest thing yesterday was the cameraman from the bra jump chopping, I reckon it was because he started pulling all the wrong things!!! Oh yes, Ben, my freeflysuit has arrived, UPS are delivering it tomorrow morning!

HA HA, very funny guys, now Lisa put down that knife.... And Pyke, where exactly were you guys intending to sell all my harvested body parts? Dropzone.com auctions??? /s PS I met Emma, the Pie Queen, at Hinton today after they did their bra jump (I happened to be in the neighbourhood...). She is a total red hot babe, all I could do was blabber while she and the other bra babes were packing. This was how I found her, asked the dude selling food who Emma was, he said 'look for the hottest body in the bra jump group'. He was right....

Dunno if this is a troll, but here goes anyway : OK, but how do you expect to be included? By joining in the social scene at the end of the day? That is fine, as long as you don't get bored by repeated stories about the days jumping and arguments about gear type, wing-loadings, exit orders, etc. etc. When you have two or more skydivers together at any given time, the conversation will tend to focus generally on skydiving and related matters (no surprize there then). Actually this is one of the beautiful aspects of the sport, since it allows plumbers, surgeons, professors, students and mechanics to interact on a level social playing field, free from all the snobbery and bull-shit that you find in *normal* society. I value the social side and the friends I have made through skydiving as highly as the activity itself. No, it is the sport itself that is addictive. Any *normal* person who has been exposed to the sport would be able to appreciate the absolute, full-on, heart-stopping, gut-wrenching, wind screaming in your ears, soul satisfying beauty that is freefall. Go ask anybody who has done just one tandem, whether they regretted doing it. They might never do a second jump, but for the rest of their lives they will remember that one jump. As for me (and most skydivers I suppose), I would sell my car, a kidney and my left testicle to keep skydiving (lady skydivers might have a problem with that last one!). Sorry about the long winded post, but skydiving has given me so much, and I feel so fortunate to have found my *thing* in life. If skydiving isn't for you, then fine, but at least try to find something that you can feel equally passionate about, otherwise what is the point of living? Jerry 'skreamer' Springer

That was a good reply, especially the point about people being accustomed to the water (swimming, sailing, diving etc). Maybe the same thinking applies to why people aren't concerned about all the deaths on the roads. BTW how can you be a 'Hardcore Whuffo' if you have 17 jumps to your name? /s

Dude, wasn't it his buddy Private Ryan that saved our asses????

Gee, well I suppose the fact that you arrived THREE YEARS too late doesn't really matter... (and South Africa, Australia, Canada, New Zealand declared war WHEN on the nice Nazis again???) Dude, you guys made a profit on WWII which paid for your boom in the 50's, while the rest of the world was rebuilding from absolute rubble.
