  3. she's only done nice things for me, like flying me into my slot on a 120-way and on a different occasion pointing out someone's trailer to me tash mmm - perhaps she's sexist and does nice things for us chicks and only embarrases the boys?

    Not sure how many convicts were sent to SA, I know that Oz is fully of their decendents, I thought South Africa was just full of adventurers and fortune hunters. Perhaps my history is wrong though - any care to correct me? tash edited to add: strictly that would mean though Chanti that you shouldn't be referring to the British half of me as a POME, as that stood for Prisoner of Mohther England, now often shortened to Pom and then I remembered that all of my blood line is British, just that my parents were adventurers and fortune hunters but ended up having a family in SA rather than making a diamond find!

  5. except on planes that don't have inflight skydiving doors. Similar to the Let, there are some planes I've jumped out of in the past where doors had to be either open for take of, or just didn't exist in the first place when the plane was set up for skydiving. I think, whatever the pilot says goes. If that means you are a bit hot for a few minutes in the summer, or even freezing for a bit in the British summer , get over it. tash Don't ever save anything for a special occasion.

  6. depends. I know that DH only gives out free closing loops if you swap it for a worn one. If it breaks while trying to close the container, you need to pay or it. tash Don't ever save anything for a special occasion. Being alive is a special occasion. Avril Sloe

    notice how they all ignore you? Being a bit of both, I was quite torn that day but glad that one of my countries won! tash Don't ever save anything for a special occasion. Being alive is a special occasion. Avril Sloe
  10. haven't got one right now unless you count my date for the wedding who is planning on a trip to Greece to find himself a Greek God for a bit of holiday fun over the next week or so tash Don't ever save anything for a special occasion. Being alive is a special occasion. Avril Sloe
  11. not having dealt with this ombudsman before, I have no idea how reasonable they are. However, having been in a company who was taken to a different ombudsman, the offer only gets better if the company thinks the ombudsman is likely to find against them and they think the better offer is cheaper than what they will end up paying after the ombudsman's ruling. Worth finding out what VW will pay as a trade in on whatever Fiat are offering you. If it is a lot less than the full refund, you know what Fiat are trying to save by making you the new offer. tash ps - I want to go for a spin too when I'm back later in the year and Chanti will be a properly taken woman with audwiz watching over every move his wife makes Don't ever save anything for a special occasion.

  13. you don't need to be a BPA member to have a licence issued by them. I for example have a licence, and unless I loose it will continue to have one, however may choose to not be a BPA member this time next year. Doesn't stop me having a licence, does stop my membership and hence insurance and hence ability to jump in the UK. tash Don't ever save anything for a special occasion.

  17. I think the rigger is still closer to me than you are, what with you having to swim the atlantic to get here and all on the other hand, someone who can swim that far must be quite fit.

  18. the hardware stores 'round here that do more than just the stuff that comes pre-packed (and therefore can't be checked whether it fits or not) are only open while I'm at work on the DZ. I had the nut to fit it on which has an attachment to fix it into the round indentation in the inside of the side of the bed and the other end of the bold needed to go into a threaded hole that is in the end of the bed. So, getting something with the right diameter and thread was the most important thing, which the hardware stores that are open when I have the time to go them couldn't deliver. and I'm a girl - I'm allowed to ask a man to help me with things, especially bed related ones tash Don't ever save anything for a special occasion.

  19. so, I moved house a while ago and in the process managed to loose one of the parts of my bed. I'd have called it a screw (no pun intended ). I thought my rigger may know where to get various metal bits from, so I took him one of the other ones to see if he could help. Not only did he tell me that it was a threaded bolt (no pointy end to make it a screw!), but within a week, his son had made me 3 spares . So now my bed is fully assembled and sturdy enough in case someone ends up joining me in my bed thanks Rick and Phil! tash Don't ever save anything for a special occasion.

  20. It feels like there is a gap in the lining into which the audible should fit, making it even with the lining. I sometimes need to fiddle a bit to get my Protrack to sit in it. Perhaps it's just a matter of you doing that kind of fiddling, or you could attempt to increase the size of that gap in the lining. If it's mounted on the outside, you may not hear it, so you risk making holes in your helmet, loosing your audible from a riser strike and not hearing it if you mount it on the outside. tash Don't ever save anything for a special occasion.

  21. I believe a tunnel has been sitting in bits in a hangar there for years, although I have no idea whether it's likely to be assembled anytime soon. tash Don't ever save anything for a special occasion. Being alive is a special occasion. Avril Sloe
  22. I've seen at least two different set-ups, and if the packer has one, I have the other, I can't expect them to put mine together properly unless I've shown them how to. IMHO doesn't mean they shouldn't be jumping one. tash Don't ever save anything for a special occasion. Being alive is a special occasion. Avril Sloe
