  1. Keep waiting, I can reply to any post I like. Now you reckon I am afraid to speak my mind? Clearly you don't know me very well, which is just fine with me.
  2. Why should I? I was responding to a particular post. You seem to have a lot to say about UK laws and how they are applied, how long have you lived here for?
  3. Yeah man, I was just kidding. But I bet you are now the favourite son-in-law by far. Glad she enjoyed it and all went well.
  4. I've had 'charity work' give me hairy palms but never a fractured hand.
  5. From the accents in that clip it would seem to be a South African (Afrikaaner) guide with some fuckwit foreign trophy hunter out to bag himself a lion. Fuckwit foreigners who get off on killing lions
  6. Did you have mixed emotions at pull-time?
  7. Don't you look a little silly running away with one leg stuck in a stuffed stash bag?
  8. Whoa, looks like you have an admirer... When I was at Sebastian I seem to recall that chick being quite the birdwoman type (can't remember her name, but she is the one making a grab for The Rack tm).
  9. Oh really? I've been living in the UK for seven years, how long have you lived here? How much do you really know about the UK (apart from the sensationalist threads posted here)? Go on, enlighten me, how long did you live in the UK to form your opinions about the 'insanity passing for crime control'? I live here and I'm not interested in your pity. I see a lot of shit upside down with peoples' narrow-minded attitudes and outlooks, I pity them. Will
  10. It helps when your jumps aren't restricted to weekends and daylight.

    Book - BASE66

    Have you checked out his web-site? Noticed how many UK objects he names (with photos)? AFAIK Doug Blaine is not a jumper, just tagged along with some jumpers and took pictures.
  12. Ya, and from what I can see, between her and the other two JSC babes posting here there seems to be quite a bit of eye candy at your DZ. I might have to swing by the next time I go home. Will
  13. You don't know me. (check with TB before you make any more assumptions )
  14. The point of the quote was to show that the thread had already been hijacked quite a few posts previously, which is why I quoted it in my reply to you. I was not trying to 'pin any crap' on you, my apologies if this was the impression you got.
  15. Yes, Chuck is right - the bent prop megaphone props belong to Tamer (TB99). It was his idea, he collected the money and went and bought the thing. Of course the only reason he stood a chance with them was because he only looks about 15 himself!
  16. Oh, this thread was hijacked quite a few posts back : We don't even know for sure who did this, until then how about concerning ourselves with the victims and their families. Will
  17. OK, thanks. On low objects that you've jumped both handheld and stowed - could you tell the difference in terms of hangtime? I appreciate that handheld the PC would inflate sooner, but given the snatch-force required to open the container did going stowed make any real difference? Also, what was the largest PC you've used for a slider up jump and what was the delay? Cheers for the feedback. Will
  18. Nah, tell Raist JJ is a better kisser.
  19. Doesn't this cause undue stretching of your BOC spandex (in particular the mouth of the BOC)? Would you stow it just before gearing up for a jump? (ie not when you packed) BTW what is your average number of jumps before you have the BOC spandex changed? Will
  20. No Mark, I think there has been a bit of a misunderstanding - Scratch was referring to people he knows. The closest Andre (Scratch) gets to Special Ops is sniffing women's bicycle seats on a hot summer's day. Oh ya, he also specializes in aquatic missions involving the water-tank and female students.
  21. I pretty much followed experienced jumpers' advice when buying my first set of PCs. Now that I am jumping I've started to form my own preferences, eg I prefer a F-111 42" PC because it feels more secure in the pouch when going stowed. On a slightly related note (not trying to cause another thread split or anything ) : I'd be interested in peoples preferences for how big a PC you'd go stowed with. Personally I won't go bigger than 42", but was wondering if there are any experienced jumpers out there who go stowed with anything bigger? (if so, why not go handheld?) One argument I've heard is that if there is a tricky climbout to the exit point requiring both hands it might be better to go stowed (on an object requiring 45" or 46" PC). Any other reasons to go stowed with a larger (than 42") PC? Will
  22. Well, I know I kissed Raist after my first BASE jump last year. Does this mean I owe you one? Congratulations to both of you, wishing you many happy (and safe!) years together.

    I want BASE

    Yes, that is what I meant. And another aspect of the bridge is the easy altitude (if you choose to use the boat and car shuttle). This was a good thing on the FJC for me - I could concentrate on getting as many jumps in as possible (especially given my 'peak' physical condition ). Before I started BASE I only thought about the fear aspect about leaving the exit point, now I appreciate more the physical effort it takes to get there in the first place. And then throw sleep deprivation into the mix and things can get really sketchy if you don't keep your shit together. Will
  24. Where did I mention America or American civilians even once in my post? You have an interesting way of trying to get your point across.
  25. Sorry to hear about this, I hope you make a full recovery and are up and about soon.
