Better Italy vs France.

Sorry guys, but it seems that you are victim of the usual "disinformtja". Mr Andreotti, even if I personally don't like him, was cleared from all charges. Furthermore, more than 1 million ballots were nulled, and that, since it sounds very strange since the peculiarity of the new voting system, lead to believe that something strange happened. i believe that a recount should be needed at least to clear any doubt and restore confidence in politics.

It is not a joke. Mr Prodi and friends (wich include a couple of communist parties and a few other mixed ultra left partners) have stated as a "leit motiv" that one of the first things they would do will be to withdraw from Iraq (and that was a promise to the communists). After that he said that will meet Mr bush to teach him how to deal with the world order. Sic! In the mean time, a magistrate (which in Italy are mainly leftist) set free some islamist terrorists, which were recruiting youngster to go to Iraq to blow up some invading troops (guess who) since they were not terrorists, but simply freedom fighters. Take your own conclusions.

There was even Ultra, probably from the UK (Ancestor of Next?), seen only once.

It always depends on people. Few years ago I had an argument with a guy (a free lance instructor)about his habit of leaving its helmet on its lap during take off. It almost ended in a fist fight once on the ground. Fortunately, the DZO shared my point of view and asked the guy to live. Never seen him again in the DZ. So, just speak up!

In Italy the video was announced at the evening news and showed in the last edition at night (for obvious reasons). For a couple of month I had recurrent nightmare for the unfortunate guy. RIP

The first canopy I jumped was a static line CMP 55. The first free fall jump was with a 7 TU, and the first that I owned was a round French EFA.

Not debatable. In Italy the limit is established by law: minimum 16 year with a waiver signed by the parents.
