Tomorrow is my last day at work...yippppeeee!! I am gonna enjoy being irresponsible for abit!!

maybe you heard it in French and thought it was english ... hee hee "Most of us can read the writing on the wall; we just assume it's addressed to someone else!" Ivern Ball

Same, could only get the english subtitles!! awesome anyway!! I can be such a blonde, it took me a while to realise that you can put subtitles on the damned DVD!! Had a good laugh at myself!! WOw. wow and wow was all I could say!! "Most of us can read the writing on the wall; we just assume it's addressed to someone else!" Ivern Ball

DITTO and now we have jump numbers and licence appearing that's cool. I better stop being a manifest Byatch and start jumping more!!!!! "Most of us can read the writing on the wall; we just assume it's addressed to someone else!" Ivern Ball

Ag moerse Dankie!!!!!

Yes, you may be correct!! I guess sometimes in our haste to help / assist others we kind of forget the reason why these have expiry dates! thanks for the info I still think that sending gear to those who gear is not easily obtained is a great idea. We will need a good system of people like yourself who will point our various safety issues! still think that is a point for a different forum? Maybe we should move this to the hgear and rigging forum! Blue skies sheri "Most of us can read the writing on the wall; we just assume it's addressed to someone else!" Ivern Ball

Hi Ivan There was no attachment! Belgrade is one of the most beautiful cities I have ever been to! I think we should move this topic to another forum, any ideas?

I agree, I think that is a great idea we should consider!! In South Africa as far as I know the rule is that students and tandem rigs must have an airworthy cypres, the choice is yours as to whether you have an out dated cypres or not! I too would rather jump a 12 year old cypres than none at all! How would we go about it, donating etc?? "Most of us can read the writing on the wall; we just assume it's addressed to someone else!" Ivern Ball

Awesome!!

Hiya jump tickets are approx R 170.00 (USD 21.00) The registration is R 250.00 includes t shirt!! Camping is FREE, during the day hard core jumping and drinking all nite! gonna rock!! "Most of us can read the writing on the wall; we just assume it's addressed to someone else!" Ivern Ball

I have to completely agree with you, that book is amazing and being South African really hit home!! It was a bit of an eye opener for me!! You should read the follow up called Tandia, also brilliant, very sad but so real! Two other all time favourites is "The Alchemist" by Paulo Coelo (I think I have read it 20 times and then the "Magician" written by Feist or Eddings (Can't remember always get them confused "Most of us can read the writing on the wall; we just assume it's addressed to someone else!"

Is an awesome dude who is coming to party with us in SA next week!! "Most of us can read the writing on the wall; we just assume it's addressed to someone else!" Ivern Ball

the person of my dreams would never give me that ultimatium, and if they did then they are the person of my dreams!!! "Most of us can read the writing on the wall; we just assume it's addressed to someone else!" Ivern Ball

It's not empty, I have renters. And it's in the northwest Calgary community of Edgemont, which is I don't know about a 90 minute drive from Didsbury (a Cessna DZ if I'm not mistaken). I just made the comment that recently I decided that I likely would never live in this house again (a 4 bedroom side-split in a nice neighborhood) because it's bigger than what a single guy needs, I'm not into the lawn care and I'm not sure if Calgary is the best place for me to be once my time in Colorado has expired and the INS tells me to get out of the US (I'm sensing that this will happen sooner rather than later). I don't know if I could handle the rain come winter time, but maybe buying a modest condo within driving distance of Pitt Meadows will be my only refuge when the time comes to leave. Ah heck, I should just sell the house, buy a trailer and live (illegally) at some southern DZ and be someone's packing #@!^&. Now how's that for irresponsible thinking? I wouldn't have health insurance though and that could be bad. How about Sunny South africa, you would get lotsa jumps in as the USD and CAD are both strong currency's, beautiful country, DZ operating a Pilatus Porter or King Air.... Umm warm friendly south africans, beautiful girls, good wine, what more could you want?? You would be able to employ a pack #$@!

From South Africa and been to: Namibia Zimbabwe Mauritius Malaysia UK Bulgaria Serbia Croatia Italy mmmm still wanna travel the world

mmm **scrathing head** are there actually any of these men left?? If so point them in my direction!! "Most of us can read the writing on the wall; we just assume it's addressed to someone else!" Ivern Ball

PIISFISH, and he is coming to boogie with us in April heeeeee haaaaa yipppppeeee "Most of us can read the writing on the wall; we just assume it's addressed to someone else!" Ivern Ball

None, but the money I make pays for the jumps / gear and beer

The smell of freshly brewed coffee first thing in the morning, my daughter cupping my face in her hands and telling me she loves me (well those moments make me wanna cry with absolute happiness!! I think only parents know the true meaning of unconditional love)
