Two Towers came out in Oz on 26/12, have seen it twice and would love to go again ASAP...bloody brilliant!! I've been a fan of the books for near on 20 years (and before anyone cracks old fart jokes, my dad made me read the book when I was ten so ), I have to say that Peter Jackson ROCKS, he's done an absolutely wonderful job, and I need to find myself an elven warrior, yummo!!

Well don't worry too much about being last then, I'll win hands down on the delivery distance thing.... Canberra, Australia!!! anyone live further away than that??

You're definitely not wrong Joe! How's that jar of Vegemite coming along? Error reading from device Brain - (A)bort, (R)etry, (G)et a coffee?

I'll help keep your brain on the ground, if not your body!! LOL Error reading from device Brain - (A)bort, (R)etry, (G)et a coffee?

It may be boring, but how boring would it be with no money to skydive???? Error reading from device Brain - (A)bort, (R)etry, (G)et a coffee?

I am a full time packer, I don't jump, I leave that to Harro!

Up until yesterday I owned a packboy, otherwise known as a power tool, which someone (?) borrowed and have yet to return to me. In the meantime, I would really like to find some more, at a reasonable AUD price....help!! Thanks

The only thing with that is that I was told from day one by the CI not to roll the nose....obviously its a personal preference thing but I don't really wanna piss the CI off...he sends a lot of the new jumpers to me for tuition.... :)

I pro pack it exactly the same way I packed the 190, but with the added step of rolling the slider into the tail...I also pack for a lot of other jumpers with sabres the same way, various sizes and haven't had any complaints....unless they're all too polite... >:)

Does anyone else have a Sabre 170 that repeatedly spanks them on opening? and what have you done to fix it... My finance previously had a Sabre 190 that on occasion I could get to snivel for 1500ft (me packer, no jumper) but now on the 170 its smack smack smack. We know another jumper that has a Sabre that used to open hard but after getting a new slider has had no problems since. We've tried talking to the local dealer and they're fairly convinced its the packing technique!!

Coming from an "almost-wuffo" female point of view (ie I've done three tandems) I think that the skydiving community has the best way of life, and rather than resist I embraced it and really look forward to my weekends. So much so that I'm a Packer B with a rep for nice openings. What better way to get over a shitty week at work supporting a heap of dumb-ass pc users than by travelling to different DZs, sitting around in the sun, packing a rig or 20 and getting in on beer-o'clock...and the bonus? a week of massage because my poor "packing muscles" worked hard! Anyone that resists that way of life is just plain nuts!!! >:) Blue skies Jules
