  1. Hey... less of this 'we' business you degenerate reprobates! Some of us were being responsible and sitting in the corridor Dancing ain't my strong suit!
  2. the weather is crap and looks to remain that way. I'm off to the pub.
  3. morning all... any news on the boogie?
  4. yoink

    wish me luck

    While we're on the subject, I've got through to the final round of interviews for a consultancy position I'd love. Date of interview to be announced..any vibes would be appreciated. Good luck Kreg! Will
  5. ask HH for a new forum.... 'UK only' lots of bitching about the weather and foreigners
  6. bugger.. didn't notice that So do the Irish go down as Northern or Southern?
  7. ah... the age old question.... where's the North/Souith divide? The black hole that is Birmingham?
  8. we'll have to see how the teams work out... either that or you can be a team by yourself...?
  9. unfortunately I missed the great sock showing.. maybe we can have a repeat at the boogie?
  10. hell yeah. it may not be fair, but they have to be put in their place!
  11. Where in the UK are you moving to? For an experienced jumper, prices generally hover around £16 or £17, although that does depend on the DZ.
  12. cheeky bugger - you just try coming down here and saying that, and after we've all stopped moaning and whining about the weather we'll all gang up and whup your arse all the way back up north! Bah.. shandy drinking southerner! Gonna have to have a North vs South boat race at this boogie I reckon
  13. "Aghhh!!!! SNOW!!!! it's the end of the world!!! All we do as Brits is complain about the weather.... It's too cold, it's too hot, it's not like it was in my day! I'm up for a mini boogie... should be a giggle! And sensibly priced drinks too
  14. it was a good rant though.... Maybe we shold all take up BASE... no £100 membership fee for that
  15. I was wondering more about safety issues such as the likelyhood of the canopy collapsing in gusts / turbulence... Logic would suggest that a canopy needs a certain weight suspended beneath it to remain in shape, especially with F-111 gear... But then my logic has always been suspect! It is kinda nice to get off the big gear and feel the canopy do what you want it to isn't it? But as has been said before in this thread, that extra responsiveness can hurt if you get it wrong... Take Care Will
  16. Is there a minimum WL for canopies? Not about the backing up issue, but design-wise.. Would a really lightly loaded canopy have tendency to deform in even gentle winds? Asking just for interest... Cheers Will
  17. v. cool... enjoyed it a lot.. Thanks
  18. MDF or chipboard... guess they knew we were comin'! Would you really put out your best furniture for 200 skydivers to party around? Edited cos I'm still knackered and can't type...
  19. Had to chuckle.. non-skydiver brought his wife to this four-star hotel for a nice romantic, relaxing weekend away... oops... chose the wrong weekend there mate! First thing he sees is the bar full of skydivers at 11am Better luck next time! Good time... absolutely knackered now... Sorry I didn't get to meet a few of you. Next time maybe! BTW, I think 5 tables got trashed this year... nice to see we're improving on last years record!
