Hey Tash

I agree - and I don't work there! *Fantastic* coaching and really friendly staff - all in a really good wind tunnel

I think they're a Headcorn jumper - or used to be. All his/her posts were made on the same day, so I don't think they'll be "fishing" on any more threads... Steph -x-

Yeah, the new draw surprised me too... I thought I was done flailing about on the back of block 8, but obviously not!!! And my team was very disappointed not to do Ritz-Pick Cheers Hib and to everyone who made it up there for another fantastic Nationals! Steph -x- (Ritz Pixies)

So, where is all the news from last nights piss up?! I hope everyone had a great time - without me, (again) sob! Congratulations to Vicki and Adam on your new house!

Dammit!!! I've only just found Craig's post - and you're all in the pub! Have a pint for me OK guys

Yeah, good isn't it!

Get some birds! I have two hand reared cockatiels and they are as affectionate as any cat or dog - plus they can fly! They come out and fly around every evening midweek, but keep each other company when I go away flying at the weekends

Eh?!!! I say again... Eh?!!! I get both the jokes, but I just don't get the reply... What you saying about us Brits? Are you starting something?!!! Steph -x-

Yes, so am I... I was talking about the 2 balloon pilots qualified to drop jumpers at *Headcorn*. There are always loads of balloon flights going on there, but they have more than enough full price paying customers to fill them... The time I got to jump was early in the year, the weather had been awful for ages and so the the balloon club didn't have any punters lined up. The forecast looked good for the morning, Tony wanted to go up and so offered it to us lot in the bar!

There's 2 now! Yup, I agree with Vicki... I've only ever seen one UK balloon jump. It was at Headcorn, but I was on it so I can't complain!!! Balloon jumps are fantastic!!! Steph -x-

Good luck to everyone doing the 8-way Nationals this weekend! I hope you have as much fun as we did doing the 4-way comp

I wouldn't have a job without them! Steph -x-

This is mad! South African women have been urged to check regularly at their local registry offices, to see whether they have been married without their knowledge... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/3927491.stm Steph -x-

Yeah, we call them crisps over here - although we get Walkers and Golden Wonder in pubs - not Pringles I wonder which flavour the magpie likes best? I haven't tried feeding my birds chips yet... I don't eat them, but I'm pretty sure that they would! Especially after a few swigs of beer Steph -x-

I keep birds and mine like beer and crisps too... and wine, pizza - any booze or junk food really! I blame their upbringing! Steph -x-

Dr Who (Tom Baker) lives down the road from the DZ! ? or ?!!!

Have a great time Vicki - and Adam! Make that 1000th a good 'un!!!

I'm really sorry I couldn't make it either... I wasn't woosing out though - I had a migraine all of yesterday I'm definitely up for the next one though! Glad you all had a good time (I'm not jealous *much*!) Steph -x-

Shame on *me*... That makes you a pot and me a kettle!!! Steph -x-

I'll be doing the BPA 4-way FS Nationals. We'll probably come last, but it's going to be SO much fun trying not to!!! Oh and drinking lots and lots of beer My flat-fly friends will be at the Nationals and my free-fly friends will be in Rantoul... I wonder which group will drink the most ?!!! Steph -x-

Oh no, that's awful! If my house was burning down and I could only rescue one thing, it would have to be my log books... I would be too. That really sucks Steph -x-

I won't get into town until quite late, but I'm happy to play catch up! Steph -x-

I have 390 atm. I'll update my DZ.com profile when I hit 400... I always log all of my jumps and I write loads about each and every one! People take the piss when they see my log book, but I'm the first person the team asks to look stuff up. "How did we exit this last time?" "How many jumps did we do that day?" etc. It's all in my log book

My excuse: A car crash on the motorway. I sat there for an hour and a half, waiting for the police to clear the scene... Luckily the weather wasn't all that, but I still missed a 4-way FS competition! Steph -x-
