where's the 'dies of natural causes in a cave somewhere' ?

What sort of commitment are you looking at? i.e. How many hours are you looking at having people commit to in the tunnel/ how many training jumps/ which competitions are you looking at entering?

I have a problem with the media use of this phrase, above. Do they presume that every skydiving death is a murder? This started appearing after the high profile 'murder' that we had. By the press stating that this is not suspicious it is protecting skydiving, since they are stating that it is not believed that skydivers are out to interfere with other peoples' kit in a malicious manner.

From the Bible - Matthew 7,6. 'Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet. Meaning... If you are going to try and push people into religion, they aren't going to accept (then you could put in a little argument that his interference in this is pushing you further away and possibly because of him you will never find 'salvation') Tell him people come around to things in their own time, then when they do accept them with open arms and 'cast ye your pearls' for them to take up and treasure.

wait until you get sacked from your desk job for not doing all that work - because of being on DZ.com, then you'll not be sat at a desk all day and be free to enjoy life otherwise you could PM HH and see if he'd be willing to shut down the site for a couple of hours during your work day so that you can get all your work done...

The other standards I had when getting back into things was to be comfortable to jump off a small wall. Also be comfortable running up and down stairs. Took 8 months to get back to it (but that was mainly due breaking the ankle on my other leg at the same time )

Ok, it's my final year software engineering project, I've been pressed into creating a piece of software for the Simulation of Witness Testimony. Does anyone have any suggestions of approaches to take? things that I really need to consider/ don't really need to consider? Any personal methods that you use when preparing for cases (timelines, etc)? Any help will be greatly appriciated!!!

I'm just imagining having fifteen one year olds with a year of RW experience in the tunnel turning points ...

Yes...

Ok, so maybe i'm thinking about tunnels to much. Last night I had a pretty cool dream, the tunnel wasn't so much a tunnel but a large room. It had a computer on one wall which i could check email if i wanted (everyone was really impressed with my bodyposition whilst I was checking email) then part way through my tunnel time some people came in to debrief on the huge TV screen that was on one of the other walls, they we just sitting round on the net whilst I was flying around. One of the best parts of all was that although I only bought 20mins of time I actually got a couple of hours and then when I walked past reception on my way out I was told that the payment system couldn't accept my bank card so they cancelled the payment and said since it was their mistake my time was on the house

Two broken legs. cause: thinking i had just enough altitude to make a turn. lesson learnt: If in doubt don't do it... (although I also learnt that if you ask lots of people to get you a dose of morphine thinking only one is going to actually do it then you get a quick ride back up to altitude )

surely you want the wind speed to be as similar in the tunnel to the speed you would be flying at in the sky for that particular dicipline? we're sorted on the bellyflying front, but freeflying in the tunnels is it not better to try and have the high speeds so that you don't have to wear HUGE jumpsuits and also compromise the body position that you want to be using in freefall just so that you can get off the net? granted tunnel instructors who are on the sharp end may not like the high speeds because they'll thow people out of control even faster with more force...

Just thought i'd post these up, I'm pleasantly surprised at the competitivness of the off peak prices(as far as UK pricing goes...) Minutes Off-Peak Peak 10 110 120 20 210 230 30 310 325 40 410 430 50 510 530 Hours 1 600 630 2 570 615 3 4 530 600 5 6 480 585 7 8 420 570 edited to add attachment

how about your closest ally?
