hey pete, glad you had a good tandem jump and good luck with the course. i can't offer any rig advice but i thought i would say that hiring club equipment is always a good option - only 5 quid each time for a rig. good luck.

I would blame the hostility on a few individuals like West and other so called "rap legends". They are a bunch of fucking idiots, who have been responsible for imprinting the gangsta image and mentality on several young black innocent minds. Thus, they think it is cool to do drugs and be a "gangsta". However there is still racism in all countries and oppression against African and black people which is totally unnaceptable. Point being - West probably uses this to portray himself as a "saviour " like 2pac was supposed to be fighting oppression - a fucking load of crap- he was a gangsta to . if a person dies because they are INVOLVED in gang crime, or a person of any colour dies becuase they are involved, they got what they fucking deserved. I have NO SYMPATHY for anyone listening to that load of gun glorifying drugs popping shite. Also, why do i have no sympahty? Because they kill innocent people in their activities to. Although it is fair to say some young victims who were involved were to young to know better. For west - if he portrtays himself as risking death everyday then it would be better if he did get killed or bugger off to some foreign island in the middle of bangladesh - somewhere he could stopfeeding crap into the minds of young kids and getting them in shit. If he is killed by another gangsta?. GOOD. my heart goes out to all the black people fighting this stupid stereotypical image of them,and hope it is removed so they can be percieved as what they REALLY are - verydecent, hard working and troublefree people who are equal just as everyother race is.

Im not sure what my purpose is just yet, but im sure it will become with time. Purpose though is quite vague and ambiguous, and depends on the context, living life to the full is one way however to help achieve that purpose and find out what it is.

nice!!!

get a takeaway!!!

Fer instance; http://www.globalsolar.com/oem.htm Ahh that looks a very useful tool. Surely then the bets solution would be to have both:for when you are walking. and then the solar for resting. Although it could weigh more? which could hamper the hiker.

He was chief of the general staff during the Gulf war of 1991. he would definately have a lot of military experience to decide when war was right or wrong. Would please those who like their presidents to have served in the forces. A good choice IMHO.

Although it is made up, the sign in grand Theft Auto - "tresspasers will be shot..survivors will be shot again" That always made me laugh.

Congratulations!

Welcome!

Congratulations!

Congratulations on getting your A.!

a parachute!!!

Very Nervous!!!! I had a problem with AFF level 5. got into a tumble and spin cos i panicked. it has been scary so far, but thats just part of it i guess! good luck with your course.

Adrian Nicholas went to my old school and did a presentation on his skydiving. That got me interested and then i read into it and the interest grew. Eventually, i did it and was hooked

Waiting for Wind tunnel to open to get some practice

IMHO, it would be better to get the degree out the way, and then it is done for good. If you left it for a while, you would have work to go once you were back from skiing. but if you had finished all your work, you could og away without having to think about it when you came back. Could give you a better time. Have fun

But if you were hiking with such weights it would be quite a good free system instad of using up valuable batteries. Also, it would be quite a good reserve system of you needed power in a situation.

Don't worry, just keep trying. youll get there within no time. i had brainlock where i froze cause of panic and failed to respond. ive read it happens to a lot of students so its definately normal, all be it still unpleasant. Good luck with your repeat,

i asked the same question regarding safety to one of the JM's and he said "as dangerous as you want it to be". i think hes kinda saying you either respect the risks and mitigate them or just ignore them and put yourself at greater risk by bring complacent or reckless. its your choice He also said "shit happens in this sport" - hence why im guessing he means you can still do everything right and can have bad luck on the day. ** Not refferring to YOU specifcially!!!** - to anyone in general hope that helps, i only posted that cause the JM has 5,000 jumps told me that, so i knew it would be accurate, cos i would have know clue only being a very new student.

I'm puzzled that there are 39 people watching, and no bids. What's that about? Quote im guessing that is because they are waiting for someone to start the Bid, to see if they can get it at a cheaper price, or when a bid is made then see if they still want it - they aren't committing themselves until they really want to if you see what i mean. or it could be because some are just looking out of interest, and are maybe looking into getting a bike but are for now getting an idea of the market or how things run on ebay. Another guess - youll probably get a lto of bids in these last hours because the potential customers then have to decide for sure and will thus start putting the bids through as the time runs out. Nice Bike, id be very surprised if it didnt sell.

Saw a main parachute for 50$ - MC4 Military Ram air parachute. doubt like fuck its reliable!! (people probably even sele used condoms!)

Ditto. I never bother doing unnecessary things. too lazy

The only thing i disagree with about being drunk is the cost it has on the health service - costs either 1 or 2 billion on the health service every year, cos of violence and removes vital ambulance crews and hospital staff and money and equipment, which could be used for those who havent got drunk and were the innocent victim of a crime. They should get priority over drunks when it comes to that.

good luck!!
