You mean both your AFF JMs FLOATED on YOU??? Well now I feel a whole lot better. Bet it was really embarrassing for them to have it caught on video too! /s [drop till you party!]

Or how about you give us your *friend's* email address and we return the favour? Hope he/she likes Dr. Seuss: "I do not like green eggs and spam, I do not like them, spammed I am..." Zennie's right though, and if you stop posting we will never find out how your date with FFF went... /s [drop till you party!]

Never thought I'd hear YOU say that to a woman FFF!!! Dude, what's happening to you? Are you going a little soft? /s [pie till you party!]

Hi guys Just got back from my easter weekend in germany and I had a total blast!!! It didn't start so well Friday morning, because I missed my flight to Hamburg (stupid London transport), caught a flight 3 hours later to Hanover, then caught a train from there to Hamburg. Luckily the weekend only kept getting better and better after that! Went out to the DZ (Skydive albatros, Hartenholm) Saturday morning, pilot told us it was -20 at altitude, luckily he got it wrong and it was only -15.... Anyway, I was going to jump with just my thermal underwear under my jumpsuit, but then I saw how much the locals were wearing under their jumpsuits, so I followed suit (3 layers on lower body, 4 layers on upper). Most of the others also had full face helmets or balaclavas, but D was wearing her frap and I was wearing my bonehead. It was her 200th jump, but only my 34th, so we were supposed to just turn easy points. Only one little problem, after 2 360's I floated on HER TWICE!!! She now says my nickname should be changed from skreamer to 'Mr. Floaty' - ha freakin' ha... The fact that she weighs 40 pounds less than me only made it all the more embarrasing. I waved her off at about '5500 because my nose started falling off. Then after dumping I couldn't feel my fingers so I pushed my hands through the toggles and flew with my wrists. I wasn't the only skydiver who stayed on their knees after landing, just hugging their hands and holding their noses on! So, then before our 2nd jump I went to manifest and bought a 2nd slightly larger pair of gloves and wore them over my first pair. The 2nd jump went much better (my first compressed accordion) and I only floated on her once (yes, yes, I know...). Only problem was that at '3500 I couldn't get a grip on my PC because of the 2 pairs of gloves. Arched out, went back in and got the bastard out (I was about to go for silver instead). By then I was too low to fly back to the DZ, so I landed out. Made one fun jump after that, and finally nailed the back-track (anything to keep my face out of the terminal wind). The one thing that I really noticed in the plane was how totally calm everybody was, the tandem luggage all looked entirely in control and absolutely refused to show fear. On my third jump there was this old man making a tandem (he was in his late '70's), he looked a bit nervous, but the tandem master slapped him around and then he was OK. I met some POPs/SOS jumpers on the DZ and they were really cool, very friendly and very funny. I'll close off my little essay just by saying that even though I hold a BPA A-license, I have now skydived in South Africa, USA and Germany, but have yet to make a jump in the UK where I live!!! Hmm, maybe there's a reason why Pete Allum and friends prefer Florida... My face still hurts, and my nose feels like it has been sunburnt. (But it was soooooooooo worth it!) /s [drop till your nose falls off] PS happy birthdays to Sis and FFF and congratulations to BenW who hopefully will have made his 100th jump this weekend/week at Empuria Brava!!! (BEER!!! PIE!!!)

FFF Happy birthday man!!! /s [drop till you party!]

Ready whenever you are!!! /s [drop till you party!]

Ignore SkySlut, he's just pissed cause he caught that funny &^&&^* off that £$^$^%^ in *&^$$%. I am as innocent as the driven sleet - SNOW dammit I meant SNOW.

Hi Erica and welcome!! Um, between you and me you should be careful about saying stuff like that here, because some of these guys are totally immature and will try to take advantage of you (DOWN FFF DOWN!!!). However you can totally trust me, I am the only decent, trustworthy guy on this forum! The Skreamer PS do you own a webcam?

Enough of that, let's focus on a real sport : RUGBY!!! Hmmm, what do I see at the top of the Super 12 table??? Oh look two South African teams and two Australian teams... Ooooh if rugby is religion in New Zealand then it looks like you kiwis are fast becoming atheists!!! Now if only the Stormers were one of those two SA teams I would be totally stoked, still bring on the Tri-Nations!!! Yeeeeeeee-haaaaaaaaaaa!!! BOKNAAI!!!!!!! [tackle till they drop!]

Hey Pammi, I like the signature bit, who's this Joan chick anyway? /s [drop till you party!]

Uh, Merrick, TripleF has now copyrighted the use of the word freak globally (no matter what context it is used in). I believe you now owe him $1, and FreakSis better watch out because there is a lawsuit headed her way... /s [drop till you party!]

Yep, I definitely think a little cyber-pie is in order. Of course a lot of those 2 000 registered users are FFF registering every possible permutation of his name he could think of... Sangiro, I not only found my rig on your site, but I also made a lot of new friends - thanks dude! /s [drop till you party!]

Ain't THAT the truth! hee hee /s [drop till you party!]

Hi Billy I saw your swooping pics, looks really cool. I fancy myself as a bit of a swooper as well, I'm jumping a Cruiselite '220 loaded at 0.77... Care to challenge me? /s PS did you teach Carrie how to work out wing-loadings?

Jessica, I think it might take more than just flirting this time round... /s [drop till you party!]

Hope you named her Joey!!! lol /s [drop till you party!]

Yep, I still have the scars to show from last time (emotional and physical). A little tip guys, if you see Sis with a hot iron in her hand, it is NOT because she wants to iron your clothes... Also, for somebody who doesn't even fish, she does seem to own a lot of the gear... I earned my nickname all over again when she got her hands, hooks and claws on me... /s [drop till you party!]

Hi guys skyhawk just mailed me a really cool pic of him feeding a kangaroo! He does look a little young to be a skydiver though... Click here! /s [drop till you party!]

Zennie, I do agree with you and Mike about the jump itself. However I still think don't think it was necessary to award Tom Sanders an honourable mention. How would you feel if you had watched your wife die and then maybe found out that people all over the world thought you were worthy of a Darwin Awards honourable mention? Man, I like black humour as much as the next guy (no South African jibes from you on that one Mike!), but I think including the husband in that award was wrong. You guys keep harping on about the jump itself, that is not my point. My point is that including Tom Sanders in the article and giving him an honourable mention was insensitive and inconsiderate. How would he feel if he were to read that article? I for one sincerely hope he never reads it! There are lots of people who drive without their seatbelts and with their airbags disconnected. Why don't they ALL get Darwin Awards if they die in an accident? They have willingly chosen not to use the two safety features that could save their lives. But if I didn't turn on my cypres and jumped with a faulty altimeter, and then burnt in, I suppose I would qualify for a Darwin Award... I personally think that most people have pretty screwed up perceptions of death and feel that it is *OK* to die in a socially accepted manner, but heaven forbid dying trapped in a crippled submarine or in a skydiving accident. But I suppose it also ties into fears like claustrophobia and vertigo, so I'll stop now before I meander any further... Will

Dude, I wish!!! But the air-fare is like £500, and then I won't be able to afford to go to Quincy in August. But since I do have a lil sis in San Fran, hopefully I will be able to swing by at some stage (but you better have a license by then so we can jump!!!). /s
