  1. I bow a second time to your wisdom I wish the real world would just stop hassling me~~~matchbox20
  2. I was sure it was called "slap and tickle" gee funny how times change. I must agree with Will though. Why tip?...I don't get it. Pay for the service, get the service. I could easily not use the service at all. I pack for myself and very occasionally for others if they are doing briefings etc and we are on the same load. I am not the fastest, it takes me 15-20 mins depending on the BS, which I enjoy, being spoken on the packing mat. The only unpleasant part is that the temp can get to 42-48 deg C in summer. That is 133F-144F for all you backward Americans. I wish the real world would just stop hassling me~~~matchbox20
  3. 125 Miles and then you still have to deal with Skreamer in a Burgandy jumpsuit. I bow to your passion.
  4. A good mate of mine is 5' 4". He has quite a lot of success with the ladies. Why you ask? They think he is harmless...bwhahahahahahahahahaha. The little shit is quite nuts. I wish the real world would just stop hassling me~~~matchbox20
  5. 3 Months is excessive IMHO. Go get a second opinion. I wish the real world would just stop hassling me~~~matchbox20
  6. Up until very recently. Five years of production management in a heavy fabrication industry. Five years of dealing with militant unionists who hate you on principle. Five years of motivating people who do not see why they need to work to be paid. Five years of having 20-25% of your workforce as ex-cons and another 50% on their way. The surprise of having one of your best people arrested for raping his own daughter. The shock of having him out of jail and back at work in 3 months. The wagers taken as to how many of your people will be shot or stabbed over the Christmas holidays. The 'joys' of firing somebody. The wonders of the 13hr day, seven day week with no time to skydive. The five or six belly laughs I get every day. The wonders of teaching a forty year old man how to read and do basic arithmatic. The happines you feel when the team, fucked up as they are, does well. Arranging a job for some old guys son, on his retirement day. Coaching a youngster from toilet cleaner to artisan. and so on and so on. I hated my job / I loved my job. I never struggled to get out of bed in the mornings though. Ok enough ranting. Skymedic will know what I am on about, I am sure. He has met the boys from the Cape flats I wish the real world would just stop hassling me~~~matchbox20

  8. Always a pleasure. Oh well never mind the score. Jumpingkayaus, another member of the bokkie brigade, is running at 6.68 so you are in good company.
  9. She is a bit of all right isn't she. I have come to the conclusion that there are some visually impared skydivers hanging around here. That or some bitter rejected soul has been going...0....0....0....0....0....0....0.....0..... all day...every day. I wish the real world would just stop hassling me~~~matchbox20

    You know, it seems like some folk were raised in a cave. Nice explanation there BB. If they don't get it now they never will. Tino from Spain says he has found all the boinggons except one but it appears to be the nooseeum that has gone missing. If you are right and it is there purely for asthetics he might as well leave it out. I wish the real world would just stop hassling me~~~matchbox20

    Can Clay prove any of this because if he can and the Chinese are truly using thingamabobs in their cluck cluck switches our boy could be due some $$$. I just mailed a mate of mine in Spain about the switches and he says it is true. He opened one on his desk this morning. He confirms that the thing was filled with boinggones and when the finally finds them all he will let me know if a thingamabob is amongst them. He does however, confirm my suspicions that there is nothing resembling a widget or any of it's family inside the cluck cluck switch. There are none of the very distinctive mounting points that it requires, inside the casing. I will keep you advised. Scratch I wish the real world would just stop hassling me~~~matchbox20

    Widgets

    A widget is the adjustable retaining clip found inside the cargo holds of wide body airliners. It is used to lock the baggage containers in place. It's plastic cousin is found in beer tins. A larger widget is refered to as a goodiegat and a smaller one is a magodie. For example. There is a magodie inside a click click switch. There is no magodie inside a click cluck switch. "What is a click click switch?" I hear you ask. Well It is a switch that if you turn it one way it goes 'click' and when you turn it back it goes 'click'. A click cluck switch goes 'click' one way and 'cluck' the other way. A cluck cluck switch is generally a broken click cluck switch. Although I have heard that there are working cluck cluck switches coming out of China right now. I must check my latest copy of "Engineering News" A thingymabob has nothing to do with the widget family at all but may be what the Chinese are using inside the working cluck cluck switches. I hope this helps Scratch I wish the real world would just stop hassling me~~~matchbox20
  16. You are an old fart and a snobbish one to boot but you are also right. Tunnels have their place but I would rather jump. The fact that there are no tunnels in SA also makes my opinion rather irrelevant I wish the real world would just stop hassling me~~~matchbox20

  21. I can believe skydiving being at the bottom of the list but I have trouble with the "0". Ankles and knees get twisted all the time. I wish the real world would just stop hassling me~~~matchbox20
  22. I don't know how true this is but funny non the less. Marine Corps General Reinwald was interviewed on the radio and you have to read his reply to the lady who interviewed him concerning guns and children. Regardless of how you feel about gun laws you got to love this!!!! It is a portion of a National Public Radio (NPR) interview between a female broadcaster and US Marine Corps General Reinwald who was about to sponsor a Boy Scout Troop visiting his military installation. FEMALE INTERVIEWER: So, General Reinwald, what things are you going to teach these young boys when they visit your base? GENERAL REINWALD: We're going to teach them climbing, canoeing, archery, and shooting. FEMALE INTERVIEWER: Shooting! That's a bit irresponsible, isn't it? GENERAL REINWALD: I don't see why, they'll be properly supervised on the rifle range. FEMALE INTERVIEWER: Don't you admit that this is a terribly dangerous activity to be teaching children? GENERAL REINWALD: I don't see how. We will be teaching them proper rifle discipline before they even touch a firearm. FEMALE INTERVIEWER: But you're equipping them to become violent killers. GENERAL REINWALD: Well, you're equipped to be a prostitute, but you're not one, are you? The radio went silent and the interview ended. I wish the real world would just stop hassling me~~~matchbox20
