  1. From what I understand, being able to get stable, quickly, from any situation is a pre-requisite of the F.A.R.M. ( but I could be wrong) As for no D licenses, thats Ice cold Man, but probably the right choice. Pease sign me up for he course.... -------------------------------------------------- You only have one life, make the most of it.
  2. If you are trying to plug a vynal deck into a "line in" you will need a "phono stage". A lot of amps have these built-in, but I donot know of any sound cards with them. There are also two types of signal that can be sent from your deck. It will wither be a MC (Moving Coil) or MM (Moving Magnet) Most phono Stages will work on both. But both of these are far to low to be pluges into a standard Line-In The way I do it, is to connect the PC (in your case the Mac) in to the Tape Loop of my Amp. -------------------------------------------------- You only have one life, make the most of it.
  3. Does this mean that the F.A.R.M. is starting up? And can I get a RF-1 Green sticker? -------------------------------------------------- You only have one life, make the most of it.
  4. To be honest it was a direct cut and paste. But I found most of them quite true. -------------------------------------------------- You only have one life, make the most of it.
  5. DON'T waste money on expensive ipods. Simply think of your favourite tune and hum it. If you want to "switch tracks", simply think of another song you like and hum that instead. CINEMA goers. Please have consideration for pirate DVD viewers by having a p*** before the film starts. RAPPERS. Avoid having to say 'know what I'm sayin' all the time by actually speaking clearly in the first place. DON'T waste money on expensive paper shredders to avoid having your identity stolen. Simply place a few dog turds in the bin bags along with your old bank statements. WORRIED that your teeth will be stained after a heavy night drinking red wine? Simply drink a bottle of white wine before going to bed to remove the stains. SOLDIERS Invest in a digital camera to avoid all that court martial tomfoolery after a trip to Trueprint. MURDERERS Need to dispose of a body? Simply parcel it up and post it to yourself via DHL. You will never see it again. BURGLARS. When fleeing from the police, run with your right arm sticking out at 90?, wrapped in a baby mattress in case they set one of their dogs on you. EMPLOYERS Avoid hiring unlucky people by immediately tossing half the CVs into the bin. MEN When listening to your favourite CD, simply turn up the sound to the volume you desire; then turn it down three notches. This will save your wife from having to do it. GAMBLERS. For a new gambling opportunity, try sending £50 to yourself by Royal Mail. BANGING two pistachio nutshells together gives the impression that a very small horse is approaching. BLIND PEOPLE Give yourself at least a chance of seeing something by not wearing heavy dark glasses all the time. ALCOHOL makes an ideal substitute for happiness. DRIVERS. If a car breaks down or stalls in front of you, beep your horn and wave your arms frantically. This should help the car start and send them on their way. PREVENT burglars stealing everything in the house by simply moving everything in the house into your bedroom when you go to bed. In the morning, simply move it all back again. CAR thieves Don't be discouraged when nothing is on view. All the valuables may be hidden in the glove box or under a seat. DEPRESSED people Instead of attempting suicide as a 'cry for help', simply shout 'Help!' thus saving money on paracetamol, etc. MOTORISTS Avoid getting prosecuted for using your phone whilst driving. Simply pop your mobile inside a large shell and the police will think you are listening to the sea. JEREMY Beadle When selling DVDs on your TV advert, hold the disks in your bigger hand so that they do not appear to be the size of laser disks. SHOES last twice as long if only worn every other day. SINGLE men Convince people that you have a girlfriend by standing outside Etam with several bags of shopping, looking at your watch and occasionally glancing inside. BOIL an egg to perfection without costly egg timers by popping the egg into boiling water and driving away from your home at exactly 60 mph. After 3 miles, phone your wife and tell her to take the egg out the pan. ALCOHOLICS don't worry where the next drink is coming from. Go to the pub, where a large selection is available at retail prices. McDONALD'S Make your brown carrier bags green in colour so they blend in with the countryside after they've been thrown out of car windows. And the absolute belter for last : WOMEN Don't waste energy faking org@sms. Most men couldn't give a monkeys anyway and you could use the saved energy to hoover the house after you've been banged. -------------------------------------------------- You only have one life, make the most of it.
  6. Funnily enough, it wasnt long after I went on one of those ( at the American Adventure, in the UK ), That I did a Tandem... Then I got hooked...... -------------------------------------------------- You only have one life, make the most of it.
  7. Of all the phobias I have, I dont have a favourite. I've never thought.... ohhh I'm glad I got that one. My biggest one is Arachnophobia. So no favs here -------------------------------------------------- You only have one life, make the most of it.
  8. And another thing that is very anoying about my alamclock is... the off button... It is right next to the snooze button. I have in the past pressed off, then gone back to sleep. Big mistake -------------------------------------------------- You only have one life, make the most of it.
  9. My alarm snoozes for 7minutes... mind you I am in the UK, perhaps another imperial/metric thing.... But then again it is a Sony, and that is Japanise... I always did think that 7 mins was a strange amount. -------------------------------------------------- You only have one life, make the most of it.
  10. There I was flicking through the channels… And I found on Adventure One, that they where showing a programme about extreme sports, a proper documentary by National Geographic, not just one of these shows that show clips of accidents. So I decided to watch it. The Skydiving part was filmed at Weston-on-the-Green It was very interesting at the end, when they got the presenter to do a tandem with a Skysurfer next to him…. I thought that’s interesting. They proceeded to tell him that as it was cloudy, it would be really cool, as they would be opening above the cloud. Then fly through the cloud under canopy. Always a good plan, I thought to myself….. Anyways… they got the “Red Devils” Islander (G-ORED) and told us that it take ten minutes to get to altitude (which was 14k in this case) and made this out to be a long time. I was a bit miffed at this, as when I went to Netheravon it took a little longer. Mind you in this case they only had 4 people in it…. (4 in an Islander… imagine the space…) anyways I digress…. They get to do the jump, and you see a Tandem video, like we all have seen (well the cameraman does lose them on exit). Then at one point you see the tandem, and they are going through thin cloud, then you see the skysurfer come towards them. So, we have a shot of tandem with skysurfer in cloud. That is a good idea, I thought to myself….. Always keep to the plan…… And as we all know for a fact the no BPA member has ever jumped in cloud. So how did this happen I asked my self….. I guess it one rule for us fun jumpers, and another rule for when National Geographic comes a long with some money. -------------------------------------------------- You only have one life, make the most of it.

  13. If you are feeling brave run regedt32. the key you are looking for is [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run] In here is a list of progs that run at startup. also check [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run] Delete anything you dont want to run. Beaware though, if you messup, there is no forgivness. And there are jobs with obscure names that need to run. -------------------------------------------------- You only have one life, make the most of it.

  16. I thought it was a good film, apart from the ending, It ended half way through the 1st book, and they tried too hard to make it happy. The romance was not in keeping with the radio/book/tv, what would Fenchurch have said? -------------------------------------------------- You only have one life, make the most of it.
  17. $4.4million to him is not that much. It's more like 1 months salery to the average person. Would I give up skydivng if I had to give back 1 months salery. Hell NO Do I take big risks like front riser deep carving swoops with my number of jumps, Hell NO -------------------------------------------------- You only have one life, make the most of it.
  18. There are two versions of this video. There is the one on this thread, Whilst he was still truing to sue his instructors. Later on (after he lost) they produced on with a different comentry, showing what a complete idiot he was. -------------------------------------------------- You only have one life, make the most of it.
  19. I am a bit of a Hitchhikers anorak. It was originaly a Radio Play on BBC Radio4, Then Came the Books, then the TV seriers. All 3 have incosistansies, and differeces in the story, so it is not supprising that the film also makes changes. It is in keeping with what has happend in the past. Nobody really complains that they are not the same and have different story lines. I am going to see it this Saturday, I hope I wont be too disapointed -------------------------------------------------- You only have one life, make the most of it.
  20. I did my AFF in Spain. When I came back to the UK I was made to feel very welcome. What I did make sure, was that the AFF course I did was the full BPA 8 level course plus my 10 consolidation jumps ( and a few more), and that my instructor was able to call what would become my home DZ, so when I turned up I was expected. In my opinion if the CCI of a drop zone does not thoroughly question a new person turning up at their DZ he/she is not doing there job properly. If someone turns up unexpected and they have not got a license or fully completed a course that would allow them to get a license in that country, surely they have to at the very least complete the course to allow them to get a license. If you spend a bit of time at your DZ I'm sure it wont take you long to get into the swing of things, and you make new friends pretty quick. -------------------------------------------------- You only have one life, make the most of it.
  21. A guy at my home DZ had a reverse kind of thing happend to him. For some reason he just got a feeling he should re-pack his main, when he pullit out and there was a tesion knot by the slider, that would have ended up in a streamer (or somthing similar with the slider not moving an inch) -------------------------------------------------- You only have one life, make the most of it.
  22. What about all those classics like Mr Blobby Star Treekin Bob The Builder Doctorin' the Tardis by the Time Lords (The KLF) I'll be back by Arnie and The Terminators All of which seemed to get to the UK number 1 spot. These must be the worst records ever. -------------------------------------------------- You only have one life, make the most of it.
  23. In the UK at the moment (in London anyway) I am paying 83p a liter thats $1.56 That is apx $5.90 per US gallon So I have no pitty on any American moaning how cheap there gas is -------------------------------------------------- You only have one life, make the most of it.
  24. I have my own insurance whenever I go abroad the covers me for £2m personal liability amongst other things. It's a pity that you can't get a discount on BPA membership if you opt out of international cover. I know several skydivers that are not planning to jump outside the UK. And many like myself that have their own insurance. -------------------------------------------------- You only have one life, make the most of it.
