I'm in the UK and managed to get through AFF in Lakewales, worked out that the cost of geting there the course, beer, food etc came to about the same as AFF in the UK (and you get a holiday out of it too). If you do go abroad make sure that the place is BPA registered (or whatever). If not it might cause problems when you get back to the UK. if you need more info pm me Nick Gravity- It's not just a good idea, it's the LAW!

The UK government announced today that it is changing its emblem to a condom because it clearly reflects the governments political stance. A condom stands up to inflation, halts production, destroys the next generation protects a bunch of pricks, and gives you a sense of security while you're actually being screwed.

What was the most unique or memorable jump you made in 2002?
Nick replied to akaGQ's topic in The Bonfire
There has to be two best jumps of the year: 1st is my first freefall in January in LakeWales, talk about total sensory overload!!! 2nd is a 13-way in September in Empuri, such a buzz having that many other people in the air (I know it's not a 300-way but was great for me).

Why can't women put on mascara with their mouth closed? Is it possible to brush your teeth without wiggling your ass? Why is it called Alcoholics Anonymous when the first thing you do is stand up and say, 'My name is John, and I am an alcoholic'? Why are they called stairs inside but steps outside? Why is there a light in the fridge and not in the freezer? Why does mineral water that 'has trickled through mountains for centuries' have a 'use by' date? Why do toasters always have a setting that burns the toast to a horrible crisp no one would eat? Who was the first person to look at a cow and say, 'I think I'll squeeze these dangly things here and drink whatever comes out'? Why does goofy stand erect while Pluto remains on all fours? They're both dogs! If a man is talking in the forest, and no woman is there to hear him, is he still wrong? Why is it that when someone tells you that there are over a billion stars in the universe, you believe them, but if they tell you there is wet paint somewhere, you have to touch it to make sure? Why do they call it an asteroid when it's outside the hemisphere, but call it a hemorrhoid when it's in your ass? Did you ever notice that when you blow in a dog's face, he gets mad at you but when you take him on a car ride, he sticks his head out the window?

Got to be an Otter (preferably a Super) nice big door for lauching 4 ways. Don't have to worry about hitting your head on the wheel when point of a meeka from an Islander and the doors on the right side as opposed to Beavers and Porters. Nick Gravity- It's not just a good idea, it's the LAW!

Long story but: About 9 years ago I was involved in a bike racing team as the mechanic and the riders father (Terry)was a commercial pilot who had flow for a parachute display team quiet a few years ago (not sure where from but could have been HeadCorn) anyway he always had interesting stories about it and it sounded like real good fun and I ashould really give it a go but never got round to it. Anyway met a girl stopped the bike racing, bought a house etc etc etc. 2 years ago this girl and I were thinking of some fun stuff that we should try and we came up with Scuba diving and Parachuting (and I thought of the coversations with Terry). That christmas we were on holiday and booked up for a try out scuba diving course, did all the training and went for the first open water dive, she loved it I hated it. we then split up but still decided to go ahead and do a SL course together. Did the training in March 2001 and managed the jump in July 2001, she hated it and I loved it. I kept on working my way through RAPS until the end of the season when I decided to bite the bullet and booked myself an AFF course at LakeWales in Feb 2002 (turns out that the ex booked herself in for sports diver training at the same time). Managed AFF and all my consols in a week, came back to the UK and have been jumping whenever I can since, now only on a loly 96 jumps but still loving it.

Can anybody help me. After hours of fighting (and almst throwing my PC out the window) I've managed to get Windows Movie Maker working on my PC but it saves the movies as some stupid .WMV file which from what I can see is no use to man nor beast as the only thing it'll play on is my own PC, which kinda defeats the object of having a movie editor!!! Does anybody know of anything that'll transfer the .WMV to .MPG or something that'll allow me to play it on other PCs (the wholepoint of the exercise). Cheers Nick Gravity- It's not just a good idea, it's the LAW!
