Enjoy the weekend everyone and try and get a jump in for me; I am in Paris and my rig is in London so my weekend numbers will again be 0:0:0 but with no bastille day or cops (keeping me in cop stations) to keep me busy this time! (see last weekend numbers...) Y'anyways I'm going out to get toxed; blue skies y'all, talk to you next week!

Thanks! What about yourself? xj "I wouldn't recommend picking a fight with the earth...but then I wouldn't recommend picking a fight with a car either, and that's having tried both."

Ummm ok, even if I mail it from "here"? xj "I wouldn't recommend picking a fight with the earth...but then I wouldn't recommend picking a fight with a car either, and that's having tried both."

? ps doesn't an address require a country and state to send it to? xj "I wouldn't recommend picking a fight with the earth...but then I wouldn't recommend picking a fight with a car either, and that's having tried both."

I had the same prob back in high school with a hotel, the end result was a little better. I was going to my formal that night and was flying out to NZ the next day. They gave me such a hard time trying to book because I wasn't 18 despite the fact that I had a credit card had asked them o organise a VERY early airport shuttle and was prepared to pay with CASH! Y'anyways I finally booked it through the airlines with my frequent flyer miles and had a nice chat with the manager as we'd (and I'd) stayed there so many times before as well as my uncle and his clients. I got back to the hotel room pretty early and couldn't sleep cause of the drunk ADULTS across (and lying IN) the hall; called reception, no change. Went down and cut sick at the manager for giving me a hard time for supposedly wanting to do exactly what was happening across the hall. Hotles can be good but the staff can be Assholes too. xj "I wouldn't recommend picking a fight with the earth...but then I wouldn't recommend picking a fight with a car either, and that's having tried both."

Really? I tend to type (and post) faster than I think, with the result that my bf read my posts......BIG oops...... xj "I wouldn't recommend picking a fight with the earth...but then I wouldn't recommend picking a fight with a car either, and that's having tried both."

Whoa, I'm just taking a little dig at you! How is the peninsula? xj "I wouldn't recommend picking a fight with the earth...but then I wouldn't recommend picking a fight with a car either, and that's having tried both."

My gear got knicked and whilst I was saving up for new gear I had to use student gear. So we did heaps of stupid stuff like that, I pretended to be a first time jumper who was a no-go(Nads and Shon borrowed the CI's jumpsuits) They picked me up and literally pushed and tossed me out the back of the skyvan kicking and screaming, before grinning and chasing me out! We filmed it all of course, the tandem students, and especially the AFF students, freaked! xj "I wouldn't recommend picking a fight with the earth...but then I wouldn't recommend picking a fight with a car either, and that's having tried both."

Joe, have you ever actually tried being nice, or is it just me?!?!!!!!

walking across a freeeway bridge? (thats illegal back home, they use it to get hitchhikers and BASE jumpers....not that I know...) xj "I wouldn't recommend picking a fight with the earth...but then I wouldn't recommend picking a fight with a car either, and that's having tried both."

Ummm, I tell tandems that their instructor only has to do one more tandem (....but only if he gets it right this time....) and he can start doing solos like the rest of us Ummmm, the worst? My mate was scared of heights but determined to do a tandem, so about 12 of us went out to the dz to jump.They were last out and she freaked out on on the door, but my dad was the TM and I'd already told him how she 'really wanted to do it'. So he just laughed at her 'joke' and told her to "hold on" (meaning head back cross her arms and enjoy the ride); he and the camera man were laughing so hard they took forever to get out, but in the meantime she had done exactly as he told her, and grabbed onto the bar above the door and a singlepoint restraint.....Oh God it was sooooo bloody priceless. She did a really good goldfish impersonation for the first 5 seconds, then opened her eyes, grinned her head off and gave the camera a thumbs up! She really loved it, thanked me heaps, apologised to my dad and no-one had any idea she'd freaked out....until I put the footage on at our final high school assembly to 1900 students and all of our parents and friends! She still hasn't forgiven me. xj "I wouldn't recommend picking a fight with the earth...but then I wouldn't recommend picking a fight with a car either, and that's having tried both."

Easy for you to say!!!!!!!!

Hi to everyone at Langer and Hinton, thanks to the former for making my visit...interesting...to say the least!! xj "I wouldn't recommend picking a fight with the earth...but then I wouldn't recommend picking a fight with a car either, and that's having tried both."

People think I'm weird? I thought the french were manic......and they keep assuming I'm french (....is that bad?!) Dogs? "that boy needs therapy..."

Sex....possibly Drinking....definately Jumping...? xj "I wouldn't recommend picking a fight with the earth...but then I wouldn't recommend picking a fight with a car either, and that's having tried both."

Only rookies give themsleves a chop....NOT! Had to add that as I haven't had a chop yet (touch wood) have had quite a few close calls, but I usually dump high [thank goodness] and have so far managed to recover them...but the one I nearly had on my 28th tandem, well, that was interesting... xj "I wouldn't recommend picking a fight with the earth...but then I wouldn't recommend picking a fight with a car either, and that's having tried both."

Can you have too much of a good thing? xj "I wouldn't recommend picking a fight with the earth...but then I wouldn't recommend picking a fight with a car either, and that's having tried both."

ps, anyone care to tell me how the weather was at Picton or Langer? xj "I wouldn't recommend picking a fight with the earth...but then I wouldn't recommend picking a fight with a car either, and that's having tried both."

Tee hee hee!!!! I've a few friends who might be insulted by that....the rest actually have a sense of humour

2(No of times I ended up in a police station on Sun) 3(No of times I got (unexpectedly) kissed by french paramilitaries on sunday) 8 (number of c-130's did a beat-up at about 1000 ft, then 25 choppers & 5 jets) 8(min no [million] people trying to get from Champ de Mars back over the Seine into (the rest of) Paris. I don't know what was more exciting, the fireworks, or trying to get back to my bloody apartment(norm 5-10 min, was 90 min taxi) And the rest? 0:0:0 Thank God I was distracted for the weekend, eh?

Used to kayak many years ago

Oh behave!

0:1:3

Its ok, how dumb do you think I am? I posted Matt's number!!!! Langer rules, I love Europe, I'm not coming home! xj

Help!!! Our lift out to Hinton for tomorrow has fallen through. If anyone is able to help us in this department or to Langer, it would be bloody fantastic, otherwise we will train out (which is a lot of hassle and money!) If you can help us out give us a call on 02084505983 (Matt or Jasmin) Ta!!
