  1. I was reading the thread going "Which Dave?!". I'm pretty sure that's not me - I don't wear white socks - but there were so many more it could've been. Congrats you two!
  2. I'm really not looking forward to five commerical flights with a rig in the USA inside of a week in August. I really don't expect sense from the TSA... ...ah well, maybe I should go find myself a rigger in Ireland so I can get the reserve repacked when I get there .
  3. Congrats mate! You've got a hell of a lot of fun to look forward to .
  4. Well said. I design & write software systems for a living, and the earlier and more comprehensive your testing, the cheaper the system ends up being. In other words, test internally, test with trusted sources/customers, and only then show to the rest of the world. Still, at least it's up and looking cool now .
  5. There's video of BGill's wingsuit tailstrike on skydivingmovies.com. He's a very lucky guy. I'm not aware of any other tailstrikes on XL 750s. For the record, a Cessna Caravan won't stand up to a reserve over the tail.
  6. I wanted to affirm this point. You'll may well get asked a question you don't know the answer to. There's nothing wrong with this. What is wrong is if you try to bullshit. It's always fucking obvious and will ensure you don't get the job...
  7. I don't qualify as a lady, but I'd happily let him take me out to dinner. If he was really nice, I might even put out . Not gonna shave my legs though .
  8. Nice glasses. They really suit you. Go get 'em. As long as they don't cut into your jumping canopy coaching budget .
  9. Too many people don't fill out their wingloading or number of jumps. Or, worse, they fill out deliberately misleading information. cf BoostedXT.
  10. The guy in question works in the Trinity, in Surry Hills, on the corner of Crown & Devonshire Sts. Though originally Irish, I'm currently living in Erskineville. Squeak is a former Sydney boy too! Actually, thinking more about the non-drinking bartender, I could see management being a big fan. No more sneaking drinks, turning up hungover, or any of that kinda crap...
  11. One of the best bartenders I know in Sydney doesn't drink. He's taken a taste of each kind of liquor, and he's excellent at making up cocktails; he understands flavours. No reason a non-drinker can't tend bar.
  12. "Fuck me if I'm wrong, but don't you want to kiss me?"
  13. I'm quite happy here. If I wanted to live somewhere else, I'd be living there...
  14. You'll go far in this sport .
  15. In The Zone, can you only see a profile of one person, or can you see links to lots? Can you see links to the Skygod mail? I can't.
  16. TAS = True Airspeed SAS = Skydiver's Airspeed There's a nice explanation on p40 of the Pro-Track Manual.
  17. Grey Goose for me. I've not tried Ciroc; I'll have to keep an eye out.
  18. You'll fit in well in London, especially in the East End. There's a massive Indian/Bangladeshi/Pakistani community there. Some delicious food too
