    Snow Day

    I'm pretty sure I do. It's about 90 degrees here at the moment.
  2. Le Marseillaise. Still the best anthem in the world.
  3. Dead Kennedys - California Uber Alles.
  4. I never would've pegged you as a stoner .
  5. Have you tried the small size NSL gloves? They're bloody tiny.
  6. Student gear is often uncomfortable. Your own gear is normally much more comfy
  7. Picton, Sydney, Australia uses radios, primarily as a backup to a big arrow and paddles. Pitfalls? We're near a freeway. My AFF-1 canopy ride was memorable: "Dial 1-800-666-333 for crack whores." "Yeah dude, they're skanky ass bitches that'll do anything you want." "Turn 90 left." We've since switched frequencies and no longer have problems with chatter from truckers
  8. Next steps: Slider, D-Bag, Airplane
  9. One of the things that worked for me was looking at the best swoopers at my DZ. Three of the four spent almost a thousand jumps each learning their first canopies. I don't know the progression of the fourth person.
  10. No worries. Glad to help
  11. Search dropzone.com from within Firefox.
  12. You know you can use the ' key to do the same find-as-you-type, restricting it to links? Dead handy for finding whereever the designer has hidden the 'Contact Us' or 'Search' links
  13. I've found that once you enable popups for that particular site, almost all banking sites work with FF. The only site for which I use the View In IE plugin is msdn.microsoft.com .
  14. Contact a good singing teacher, preferably one that teaches professionals. They can point you to an appropriate specialist for a proper diagnosis.
  15. Open \WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts Add the following line: 127.0.0.1 www.dropzone.com Sorted .
  16. Actually, I've just been outside to pick up a pie for lunch. The weather forecast is wrong; it's gotta be 35C. Perfect beach weather, as long as you slip, slop, slap . Where in Australia are your folks?
  17. There's a multi-million dollar development in Sydney called "Balmain Shores". Several hundred apartments in a former industrial area. On a nice sign facing one of Sydney's busier roads: "Warning: Burried Electrical Cables." For crying out loud! They spend tens of millions of dollars building this complex, and they couldn't afford a proof-reader?
  18. They employed it. Unfortunately, several issues caused it not to have a significant effect (this is from memory, so details may be incorrect): It was deployed too late in the war Fuel supply issues; the Germans were running out It was too fast: it went through the Allied bomber squadrons so quickly that not only could the Allies not shoot it down, the pilot couldn't shoot down the bombers! It had a tendency to explode on landing
  19. At the moment, it's really only RW, and it'll be that way until mid-January, when the Nationals will be over. Then it's open season baby
