Its just another emotion we have and I'm sure everyone has experienced it at some point. Along with anger, love, jealously, sadness, happiness...I could go on.My point is, if your happy, you rarely consider why, when people get lonely, they analyse why. Thinking they are doing something wrong. You're not, its natural. (IMHO) Sometimes I like being alone, but I rarely get lonely.

If the subject line doesn't catch my attention, or the poster, I don't read them at all.

Its an easy suit to fly. But it'll go as hard as you want it to.

No, we here in England have it too. Although its a bit...er...cheap.. Lee _______________________________ In a world full of people, only some want to fly, is that not crazy? http://www.ukskydiver.co.uk

How would that work? Would you carry it around on the back of a truck or something? Lee _______________________________ In a world full of people, only some want to fly, is that not crazy? http://www.ukskydiver.co.uk

Stop blaming us. It was a Frenchman who invented the metric system. We've been fighting against it since before Agincourt. Lee _______________________________ In a world full of people, only some want to fly, is that not crazy? http://www.ukskydiver.co.uk

or: 1. Rub the salt in your eye. 2. Snort the tequilla. 3. Suck the lime. Its not for the soft hearted. Lee _______________________________ In a world full of people, only some want to fly, is that not crazy? http://www.ukskydiver.co.uk

I was in a bar in Canada once, the following conversation took place. (I was slightly intoxicated) Barmaid: "Would you like sex on the pool table?" Me "Hell yeah!, but won't you get fired?" Barmaid: "Its a drink asshole" Lee _______________________________ In a world full of people, only some want to fly, is that not crazy? http://www.ukskydiver.co.uk

Yeah, its me. Pilot: "How much fuels is in it staff?" Me: "its full, just like the last one, the one before that and the next one, you fucking retard, ...sir." Lee _______________________________ In a world full of people, only some want to fly, is that not crazy? http://www.ukskydiver.co.uk

Its fuck all to do with them. The UK is pretty much 'inbetween' systems just now. We buy fuel in litres, but measure consuption in 'miles per gallon'. We measure technical distances in 'mm, cm, M' but use 'miles per hour' Its pretty wacky when you get right into it. In my job I work on the Apache Attack helicopter, which is quite obviously made by the US, so all the nuts, bolts, tools are in US Imperial. However the powerplants are made by Rolls Royce, which uses metric. Our tool boxes are the most confusing fucking things... We also refuel by the litre, the pilots want to know the weight by KG, but the aircraft states quanity in LBs. haha. try work out your fuel requirements when you know there was 1350LBs in the tanks, they put 400 litres in, and you need 1100KG Lee _______________________________ In a world full of people, only some want to fly, is that not crazy? http://www.ukskydiver.co.uk

You guys in the states drive on the right for a different reason... Teamsters in the United States began hauling farm products in big wagons pulled by several pairs of horses. These wagons had no driver's seat. Instead the driver sat on the left rear horse, so he could keep his right arm free to lash the team. Since you were sitting on the left, naturally you wanted everybody to pass on the left so you could look down and make sure you kept clear of the other guy's wheels. Ergo, you kept to the right side of the road. Glad to be of help. I'll now go and burn my head. Lee _______________________________ In a world full of people, only some want to fly, is that not crazy? http://www.ukskydiver.co.uk

the road thing also has a reason. It comes from the days before cars, when people rode horses. A higher proportion of people are right handed, and wore their swords on the left side to be able to extract it from the holster (prob not right word) with their right hand. By riding on the left side of the roadways, the ends of the swords didn't hit each other when someone came in the opposite direction. Napoleon decided he wanted things different from the English for the French and changed things over. The French could convince the rest of the continent to do things their way which was harder for the English to enforce... tash Almost but not quite. In the Middle Ages you kept to the left for the simple reason that you never knew who you'd meet on the road in those days; you wanted to make sure that a stranger passed on the right so you could go for your sword in case he proved unfriendly. In France, before the revolution the aristocracy travelled quickly on the left, forcing the peasantry over to the right. After the revolution aristocrats joined the peasants on the right. A keep right rule was introduced in Paris in 1794. Later Napoleon enforced the keep-right rule in all countries occupied by his armies, and the custom endured long after the empire was destroyed. The revolutionary wars and Napoleon's subsequent conquests spread the new rightism to the Low Countries. Some European countries drove on the left until after the first world war. Here endeth the lesson. Lee _______________________________ In a world full of people, only some want to fly, is that not crazy? http://www.ukskydiver.co.uk

You weren't always deaf then billy? I did the same thing with a Golf GTI I owned once, on the way to a datewith a hot chick. I basically destroyed the engine that day. Not good. PS I still made the date, she came and picked me up.. Lee _______________________________ In a world full of people, only some want to fly, is that not crazy? http://www.ukskydiver.co.uk

Before listening to any of this advice you should go ask your instructor. Lee _______________________________ In a world full of people, only some want to fly, is that not crazy? http://www.ukskydiver.co.uk

Traveling. I love it.

Ok, time for some more European cars. 1991 Vauxhall Nova. Stolen. 1976 Ford Escort Mexico. Ragged to death then scrapped.

I thrive on pressure. Its constant, but one thing I don't do is give myself 'self induced' pressure. I can say 'no' if needs be. Lee _______________________________ In a world full of people, only some want to fly, is that not crazy? http://www.ukskydiver.co.uk
