    "just that the checks would write temselves... and yes i know i can do that with my computer and the internet" Have you guys over there got a thing called direct debit? Its dead easy, you set up a mandate to pay X-dollars per month and hey presto auto paying bills.....everything from credit cards, cell phones, utilities, investment plans rent,mortgage etc..... It gets so bad I never actually see any of my money anymore...... -------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

    "If it ain't leakin', don't fly in it. No leaks means it's out of fluid!" Ah chinooks, they have a bit of a potted history, they are grounded for civilian use here in the UK after one went down off Shetland killing 45 guys flying home from the Brent Bravo oil rig (I narrowly missed that flight). Another incident saw one hitting a hillside in the Mull Of Kintyre, and one went in near Mannhein Germany killing all the skydivers on board and the crew - 46 people.... -------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

    Scotland IS a separate country from England Tonto, we have different laws, different money, different football (don't mention the damn rugby) teams, even our own government..... Hell, even the people are different. Besides, it looks good on the list of countries I've jumped in...... Never jumped in Wales though..... -------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

    I use a pelican http://www.pelican.com/case similar to Paul's Storm case. I hear they are expensive, but I didn't pay for mine so can't really compare. They are bombproof though, mine has been in all sorts of nasty places, on work assignments, and I don't have a complaint about its toughness.. For less fragile stuff, cables adaptors, bits and pieces, tools etc, I use an aluminium case from a regular photo/DIY outlet. These are not nearly as strong as a good plastic case. -------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

    "with a swollen gland the size of a watermelon right now" Visualising, .....eeeeweeee, the devil makes work for idle glans..... "I don't know how you Brits stand so much rain."

    I reckon its real, when the other sould flyiers video came out they were talking about this clip. (see it sometomes pays to pay attention to the French). Its all sponsored by Salomon, and I think its real.

    "Why don't we all just accept the fact that the ozone layer is fucked and just enjoy life?" So your lying there with ankle next to your ear after a mis judged hook, you wouldn't mind if I (all 210lbs of me) jumped up and down on your leg would you? You know, your leg is fucked anyway, so how much more harm can it do? -------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

    I remeber talking to Adrian about something similar. He was flying camera for patrick thru the grand canyon when it suddenly dawned on him that he was too low to deploy. So he had no option but to keep flying "over the next ridge" till he got some free air......The video then was just as stunning as this stuff. I'm figuring that Loic kept his suit flying over the ridge till he could get sufficient "ground separation" to safely deploy his canopy. crazy stuff indeed! -------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

    "I agree. There are no "bad" (in that way) hard handles though. " Just the ones that catch on doors and wrap your reserve around the tail, especially if you are unfamiliar with the particular aircraft.. I guess if I lived in Finland, or wanted to party with my Scandinavian chums, I'd just bite the bullet and change the handles over, in this instance, its either play by the rules or don't play at all. Pros and cons of handle design have been discussed here ad nauseum, so I'm not going to start justifying my gear setup decisions. Suffice to say this situation is what regulation does.....Pay attention all who are crying for wingload BSRs...... -------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

    Och deary me, I'm dismayed to see that Sean Connery has agreed to play Sangiro, I know they both akshents, but hey.......
