  1. Snarfing coffee all over the keyboard, nice one Erno! -------------------- 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. Thomas Jefferson
  2. Okay HH I know there is a perfectly good reason for deleting old attachments, such as 300 copies of a puking pumpkin etc..... I was looking for an attachment I posted a while back, it was a series of pics of a knotted brake line that caused a mal, similar to the one described on a recent post.....Is there somewhere that these are stored or are they thrown out into the void forever? And would it be possible to store "relevant" snaps? Or is this just a waste of valuble server resources.... Thanks in advance for listening to feedback, valid or otherwise..... -------------------- 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.

  3. Okay, befor eyou cry "foul", I had a brake line knot up the way you described. I figured at teh time that it was caused by stowing the excess line thru the attachment point where the slinks are......Pleased to see you made down without further drama.... -------------------- 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.

  4. So I drive into work, dodge the car attacks, and park at the office. I log on then settle down for breakfast (hey, I get hungry on company time, so I eat on company time ). Anyway, my friends, I swear, I nearly choked on my bagel, I could have died, so I had an extreme bagel breakfast...., I nearly broke sweat till it cleared. So what are the chances of getting brakkie munching on the next X-games pro tour? -------------------- 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.

  5. Morning all, hey, did I just pass Michele on my way in? Damn, I wish she would stay here longer. A nice colourful dawn, here in Aberdeen, Scratch, how are those wee chickies?

  6. "masturbating to porn, etc" And some of the porn I've seen could be construed as extreme.... And under Erno's 'if you break sweat' definition.....Well lets just not go there shall we.... -------------------- 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.

  7. "Most of the so called extreme sports are media and advertising hype." I definitely agree with Chille here, its not generally the participants who describe their own activities as extreme. -------------------- 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.

  9. Kewel, but I bet you shed just a tiny little tear when your wee one flies the coop. I'm prepared to bet that before long there will be little parcels of home cooking waiting for him when he brings home his laundry. And it won't be long before you are wringing your hands worrying, and wondering, why he hasn't called to say he is okay...... I'm actually envious, Lisa, you and I are the same age, I'm just starting out on the whole parent thing, while yours has just come to and end. Enjoy your rediscovered freedom......shall I alert the appropriate authorities? -------------------- 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.

  10. Wow, radical pressing dude, these guys like their creases close to the edge... Now why do I recognise some these extreme ironing places?...... -------------------- 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.

  11. Erno, "My definition requires only that the activity be physically challenging in ine way or another" Hiking, for example, or your rollerblade-ing, are both physically demanding, no doubt about it, but without an element of competition, they could be defined as merely an activity, or pastime. Jogging and and visits to the gymn, unless you are competing in a marathon, or doing powerlifting etc. are not, by my definition sports. THey do however contribute to your ability to skydive, so are support activities. "Does competing against oneself count?" Always. "BASE - The extreme pastime!" Laughing so much my sides hurt, but it is why I singled this activity out. "My definition requires only that the activity be physically challenging in one way or another." I agree, but am trying to think of a recognised 'sport' that has minimal physical effort, whilst being competitive. Clay pigeon shooting for example.....? -------------------- 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.

  12. I always associate 'sport' with an activity that has an element of competition involved. Therefore, I don't class base jumping as a sport, more of a pastime, along with non competitive climbing, skiing, and bungee jumping etc.....I was pleased to see the Olympic committee refuse to accept that bridge was a sport though. As for extreme, anything that features on a mountain dew commercial qualifies.. As for classifying a sport as extreme by virtue of 'massive internal injuries', I can only speak from personal experience here. When I was laid up in hospital with a bust femur, approx 2/3 of the ward's occupants were in there due to soccer injuries, the remainder were motor vehicle accidents, and the odd statistical anomally suffering the effects of a low turn. I've never heard of soccer being described as extreme, but the sport seems to take up a lot of ward space. -------------------- 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.

    Iraq

    "This is, of course, the argument based on his 31/2-decade-long assault on the Iraqi people. He has impoverished them, murdered them, gassed and tortured them, sent them off to die by the tens of thousands in futile wars, repressed them, gagged them, bludgeoned them and then murdered them some more." And that was just part of his recent re-election campaign... So what is so different here from say China/Tibet, Rwanda, etc etc etc....And why therefore has it taken 35 years of abuse to bring about some sort of reaction from the West? Perhaps the UN needs to look a bit more closely at our policy of non-interference in domestic affairs..... -------------------- 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.

  16. SSPC at Strathallan in Scotaland is one of the oldest in Europe..in continuous operation...it has been in operation since 1960. It was and still is, owned and operated by the club members, so is truly a club, as opposed to a business venture. And a very nice place to jump it is too. -------------------- 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.

  18. I know whats wrong with them, they are not geting enough air time to fully develop their skills. Why don't you take them to altitude and see how they fare. Yo will either teach them to fly, or they won't bother you again... Or train them to fly with you in freefall, have you guys seen "willing to fly"? There is a cool sequence with a trained hawk, that swoops its 'master' in freefall, its impressive stuff..... -------------------- 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.
