Any clues on correct and proper pronounciation for that one Fishy? Almost right with the translation....what i got is "St. Mary's Church in the hollow of white hazel near a rapid whirlpool and the Church of St. Tysilio near the red cave" Also known as that place with the funny name. -------------------- 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'd be wary jumping camera with your experience level. However, for what its worth, the wide angle will depend on the type of filming you are doing, tell us what you intend to film (freefly/RW/Big wyas/Tandem etc), and how you intend to film it, (inside/outside, flightrecorder) and someone will recommend a wide angle lens. Think about your jump numbers...seriously, if I were you I'd wait a while.. -------------------- 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.

Told you I didn't read the rag much. Feck, I must have been away that week.

And from what I gather from a few radio programmes recently, they also have an acute labour shortage. Who'd a thunkit?

"Don't you love socialism." Don't really know how to answer that. LOL

'the Mirror is a shit newspaper' I'll say it again, The Mirror is a shit newspaper, even if it panders to people of the same political colour as me. Their boss Piers Morgan is a knob, remember the British Iraqi prisoner abuse fraud?....That was the Mirror. That little jape didn't do anything to help a nasty situation, it may even have cost good people their life, and it should have cost Morgan his job. I don't often agree with the Gravitymaster, but the Mirror and the Independent are out of order with their headlines today. Yeah the Americans voted in a president who may not be popular over here, but thats their right, and thats democracy baby. We'll just have to suck it up and deal with it, because lets face it, there's fuck all we can do about it. -------------------- 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.

"How can 59,054,087 people be so dumb?" Y'see, there really is no need for that sort of headline, its just plain rude. It is a left wing paper, which I guess corresponds to your 'extreme liberal' classification. The Independent was also pretty inflammatory. I don't read the Mirror, thinking leftists opt for the Guardian, their headline is much more polite. See here for a taste of our printed media today http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/3981139.stm Don't take it personally, our media is generally much more abrasive than yours, and it will be yesterday's news tomorrow.

Damn Liberals (left leaning right wingers), you'd never get a good Socialist (right leaning left winger)recommending you guys give your guns up.

"said Barack Obama, newly elected senator from Illinois whose victory provided one of the few bright spots for the Democrats" Aggiedave mentioned him lyesterday, and I think we will be hearing a whole lot more from this guy.

"Please, give me something to smile about with regard to what is going on in England lately." Dunno, I live in Scotland, how are things with you in Alaska.

"Maybe they should prohibit bible-carrying in the polling place too. After all, no one needs a bible to vote. Check the goddamn things at the door! " Some might argue that a Bible is potentially more dangerous than a sidearm. But thats a different thread altogether.

"Then you have the problem of a skydiving president showing up to a summit with China wearing cutoffs, a boogie t-shirt and with a case of beer..." What kind of beer? Och, the prez would probably be a belly flier, we'd end up seeing the skydiving community split down the middle. Maybe some 527s would form showing how despicable style and accuracy really is, we might see Crew Dawgs for Truth campaigns, and the opposition would demand to see the Prez's log book to see if he really earned his SCR, or whether he was present for his entire first jump course. There could be some cool new initiatives though.... No static line student left behind. The coalition of the willing to pack. The fight against the axis of Farmer Mcnasties. The Whitehouse lawn would make a cool landing area, air conditioned packing in the oval office, and annual boogies at Camp David. Lets face it, no shortage of nice jump ships Yeah, I could go with this after all. -------------------- 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 think we will approach Iran more slowly, and NK more slowly than that, most likely through diplomatic means. " I couldn't agree with you more Josh, I don't think it would be good tactically, or dare I say it politically, to open a new front without stability in Iraq. I agree that the borders need to be secure, and also the Fallujah situation is likely to be influential. The assault on Fallujah is likely to get ugly, both in terms of collateral damage and casualties to the coalition. I fear that the insurgents in this area will fight to the last, and thats going to be expensive. Hope I'm wrong, but I have an uneasy feeling about this. -------------------- 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 don't get why a gray frame with a gray tube sticking out of it is worth millions." Thats not what its worth, but it is what some folk are prepared to pay for it.

"We should all measure stuff in Stone! I am absolutely svelte when measured in Stone!" I hear you brother Deuce, and here's another, if you measure length in millimetres it sounds way more impressive. Folks, it doesn't really matter what unit we use, as long as we know how to convert between them.
