  1. Nothing if you dont declare it. CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people
  2. Damn right. To call this the UK Media would be like tarring the 'US Media' as all ultra-religious nut jobs because of something Glen Beck said on Fox News. CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people
  3. Are these actually shows on Al Jazeera, the television station which we are discussing, or are you just posting the most inflammatory thing you can find in order to beef up your argument? CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people
  4. How much worse is it comparably to Western biased media about the Middle East out of interest? CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people
  5. Interesting position to start at. I assume given that you haven't been able to watch Al Jazeera in order to formulate this conception that you are simply buying into much of what the US media tells you about the channel and the people of the middle east. Could it be possible that it is a news channel that reports on the Middle East in order to balance out the vitriolic spume coming from the likes of Fox News. I have watched, and worked with, Al Jazeera English (albeit not the Arabic one) and found it to be balanced and informative. One of Britain's best journalists (David Frost of Frost/Nixon fame) works for the channel. Maybe the English version is just a cover for the rest of their evil doings... CJP Gods don't kill people.

  8. Empuria any day of the week and twice on Saturdays. Been to both and still not jumped at Castellon as it has been shut every time... CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people
  9. Dude - in 200 jumps?!?!?! CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people
  10. 90 mins to HD is pretty damn good dude... Nice one. CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people
  11. You are aware, are you not, that Climate Change isn't just the weather in your local neighbourhood...? We live in a closed ecosystem, albeit a big one. Try taking one element of a small ecosystem and massively altering it and see what happens. This is also the same on a larger scale, just that the changes are slower and harder to perceive. Just because you refuse to believe doesn't mean it's not happening. CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people
  12. It's an OK list but a little bit simplistic. For example - pilot chute hesitation and PC in tow. You think you have one before you know you have the other in many cases. Also line-over. I know of cases where the line-over is flying straight, often on larger more docile canopies, the canopy is still flying relatively straight - what hapened to trying to fix the problem? Broken brake line - land on risers? I suppose for FJC students it could help and I imagine that is the target audience but I would hope those who have printed a copy for their gear bag are taking advice from their instructors and not just in this list. The most important things in this list IMO should be (with exception of 2 out): Remain altitude aware Identify issue Attempt to fix if possible Chop at decision altitude if not fixed. You could probably write that on your hand and that way you wouldn't need it in your gear bag and could take it up into the sky with you... CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people
  13. Seriously? I would have thought, was taught, and see multiple signs at most DZs I jump at that you should avoid jump run at all costs. Yes proper exit separation should help this but why track up jump run if you don't have to. There have been a few high profile incidents recently where collisions have occurred that are likely down to just this issue. CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people
  14. What I see when I watch this is a bunch of lads specifically going to a Halal restuarant, with a fucking video camera, to wind up the employees and then recording the result. How long were they there demanding bacon in their burger? Do they do this often? Is this a running gag for them? We don't know the answers to any of these questions and yet we are generally happy to accept that a video showing an employee blowing up (bad use of words!) in a KFC is because of a simple innocent request for bacon on a burger. How can anyone possibly judge this situation without knowing the full background. CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people
  15. That's a pain - it's my 10th wedding anniversary on the 26th. CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people
  16. 10 mins will give you a taste. If there isn't anyone else in they will still rotate you as it will be too much otherwise. What are you looking to achieve - don't expect too much in that amount of time... CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people
  17. Best TV show in the UK. CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people
  18. Is anyone else tempted to be the first follower of the Big White Rectangle on Twitter? Dude - you may have developed the greatest idea in the history of the sport but if you can't show anyone then it ain't worth shit. Good luck. CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people

  20. Maybe this is the guy who does the babelfish translations as it makes about as much sense.... CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people
  21. Poor choice of words. My bad. CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people
  22. Worth noting that Brian Vacher is also in hospital after dislocating a hip at the same event. From FB he was also speed flying and performed an emergency landing after realising he has in the corner, dislocated hip on PLFing. Heal well both. CJP Gods don't kill people.

  24. There is always going to be a cost to rejumps and it should be publicly available from the DZ. Where are you going to end up jumping in the UK? I would suggest you do AFF at the DZ that will become your home as then the instructors will get to know you and can be around for advice later in your career. Never heard of anyone asking for additional money for goggles - the cost of AFF should include all equipment required. CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people
  25. Any qualified instructor should be good enough? Are you going to get your preferred pilot too? How about the best engineers and DZ control This isn't Formula 1... CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people
