  1. I did AFF... and FS1 on a 2 week trip to sebastian 48 jumps and 2 hours in the tunnel! Definitely alot quicker than I could have done it over in this weather forsaken country Bodyflight Bedford www.bodyflight.co.uk
  2. It doesnt pay to encourage people to be thin... eat more means more money... just like pollution / war / etc.. theres money in it all... Sad fact of a general desire for 'More' in which the US is a good leader... not that most other nations are far behind Bodyflight Bedford www.bodyflight.co.uk
  3. The only issue I would have would be the effects of passive intake! If someone's getting drunk... they arent sharing it with me... If I wanna get high I wanna have a choice in it! so legal is ok... so long as it follows the not in public places idea... Although it could be a money saving share option Bodyflight Bedford www.bodyflight.co.uk
  4. My point exactly.... tar everyone with the same brush!... I live in the UK... I must therefore be out of that jelly mould Bodyflight Bedford www.bodyflight.co.uk
  5. The difference there is that the bear hunters have proven themselves to be individuals that enjoy killing and the power trip it gives - and hence shouldnt be allowed out in public, whereas the police are hopefully trying to control these primates when they break their curfew Bodyflight Bedford www.bodyflight.co.uk
  6. So someone dropping a bomb on your house might make you want retailiate - doesnt sound so extremist to me. Its that kind of arrogance that and generalism that is a good part of the problem. Chances are, if your life followed the path of the people you are referring to, with your mentality I would put money on you being an excellent islamic jihadi yourself. I am not suggesting that terrorism is a valid way to achieve an aim, but for people who have suffered horrifically... you cant expect them all to be reasoned individuals, what surprises me is how unreasonable some people are without the suffering..

  7. Our prop manufacture will take 6 months from order, so at least that long sadly! I will be able to provide an exact date within 6 weeks, barring no issues. It will then be a final date, either way. Happy to answer any questions mr2mk1g if there is any specific info you are curious about! Bodyflight Bedford www.bodyflight.co.uk
  8. DERA used to use the tunnel to 'spin test' plane models.. and then later on just as a pressure vessel (like a huge compressor tank) Check out.. http://www.open-video.org/details.php?videoid=6160 There is a video there explaining scientific use for vertical tunnels. Main changes for our site is the additional power needed and cooling. Which is where our technical effort has been focussed. :) Bodyflight Bedford www.bodyflight.co.uk
  9. I have also, for those interested... added a couple of pictures on the website temp frontpage so that you can see what weve been referring to!... Bodyflight Bedford www.bodyflight.co.uk
  10. Hi, Pleased to say that we have progressed well and joined forces with a new partner. There isnt a fat lady singing just yet... (need to sign contracts place orders etc etc) but things are looking promosing and back on track
  11. I agree, but its not the size of minority that I meant... For example, if I had two couples come to me... (hypothetically if they needed to!) and asked if they could be married... one couple was two males... and one couple was brother and sister... All I was saying was that, I should have no reason to object to either couple... But would the two males object to the brother and sister union? My point was to me.... not in either minority.... there is a parallel
  12. So they dont look messy after they have been lickin their ass stupid! Everyone knows that... lol Bodyflight Bedford www.bodyflight.co.uk
  13. I think that is what can be referred to as 'Blind Faith' Theres quite alot of tough issues that religions generally pass by with the wand of faith... But, suppose its scary not to have anything to believe in Me.. I am sticking to the tooth-fairy Bodyflight Bedford www.bodyflight.co.uk
  14. The question of marrying your sister does actually make me think a little.... I am not anti-gay, or anti-gay marriage but I can see the parallel and would find it hard to choose a stance on a couple who are related that want to marry. I wonder if pro-gay-marriage lobbyists would back a small incestous group wanting the same rights I have always believed in live-and-let-live but I am not sure how I would vote on that one Bodyflight Bedford www.bodyflight.co.uk
  15. Actually, having looked through your posts... a great percentage are gun related. Admittedly there are other topics, but my gereralising flippant remark was not intended as anything more than jovial satire... the smiley face was a clue... heres another Bodyflight Bedford www.bodyflight.co.uk
  16. You do make me chuckle... Anythin but guns on your mind ever? Bodyflight Bedford www.bodyflight.co.uk
  17. Although it will greatly differ dependant on design / speed etc.... The type of outlet at the top of Skyventures tunnel will defuse the expelled air to relatively low speeds... ie. Large volume of air goes in the bottom... is constricted to high speed in the flight chamber... then is expanded/defused out of the top.... so shouldnt be a problem I guess.
  18. Just like to congratulate you on probably the longest post I have ever seen Bodyflight Bedford www.bodyflight.co.uk
  19. I jump a S2 170 and am happy with it... Personally, if it were totally down to flight and landing I would go as big as possible (I love freefall the canopy for me is a means to an end) Only reason I would consider going smaller is the size and weight of my container + the packing hassle. Think I'll stick where I am tho... mid size seems fair on both side of the coin
  20. lol Kennedy.. my 'insult' was a little tongue in cheek,..and in reply to... 'What reality are you in' 'You are beyond help' and 'you are out of it' which could really be considered insulting You shouldnt be frustrated that you cant change people to say 'oohh yes youre right' within 2 mins... because.. a. you may be wrong b. I / they may really be too stupid to realise youre right! but.. I take in what you say, just dont agree with it as yet... Bodyflight Bedford www.bodyflight.co.uk
  21. I entered this discussion, becuase ppl were complaining that the limits on what type of weapons they can have is limiting their freedom. I really dont see how you think the position the US is in with guns is a good one.... And, you'll probably be hard pushed to find many non-US citizens who wish their country was more like the US in this regard either (barring Iraq and the like) Bodyflight Bedford www.bodyflight.co.uk
  22. If you read my posts you will see on a few occasions I have said... We have guns (some) Gun crime is rising But it is still a minor fraction of what you see. I had never seen a gun until I lived in the US. I hope I never encounter gun crime too.... and with the levels as they are... It would be more likely if I lived in the US not here. Would be better to debate without the insults, but if you must... go for it dumbass... you cant shoot me from there Bodyflight Bedford www.bodyflight.co.uk
  23. I am comparing crime in the US to the UK. where, I would guess with similar law enforcement policy and from my experience of living in both... people seem much the same. I am less likely to encounter a criminal with a gun... therefore I dont feel the need to have one. Lets be clear. I am not saying you cant have a gun! Because in the sitution you are in right now that would be giving the upper hand to criminals...... Still doesnt mean you have a good situation. Bodyflight Bedford www.bodyflight.co.uk
  24. I dont think there is any doubt that without US assistance the war would have been different. Likewise... I dont think it would have been the same without Britain included... its a stupid debate. But what has that got to do with the fact that you live in a gun-rife environment where people die now? I dont. Sucks to be you. (from a gun point of view) Bodyflight Bedford www.bodyflight.co.uk
