My bad. From my perspective, English language is widely used, yet very small number of words are actualy used. There are impressive combinations which allow for saying MUCH with a few. I didn't know it's vocabulary is not poor. I only thought so. Probably because most people I've met can't really take part in no more than "small time" discussion. Let me picture it for you. Before visiting Malta, I was looking forward to it, because their 'business' language is English. (but no DZ) Then, while buying a souvenire (a small stone sculpture) I asked a clerk: - Is there a story behind this sculpture? - One Euro. - O.K. but... can you tell me something about this? - ONE (1) Euro. - YES one euro! Is there a book about this? A book, you know? - Books-there (pointing to books shelf) Check the photo, figurine sculptor made (to me) an obvious message: "Respect and Obey or Die" but I can't seem to find scientific consensus. Left guy is with a hat in his lap, the other one is missing his head and hat :) What goes around, comes later.

Well, your point is well taken. Well now, I mean well and I might as well leave well alone. Oh Well p.s. "skydivivers"? well, 'twas a typo

I am not picking on English language. In many ways I admire it, to say at least. Despite it's poor vocabulary, it's been among richest with phrases. However, as life it self, it is fascinating (as skydiving is when you dig in it) edit: the âccents :) What goes around, comes later.

Does wind speed and gusts affect descent rate?
format replied to k_marr08's topic in Safety and Training
Wow. I never questioned that the wind will decrease descent rate. So many times I've seen a low wing load student in higher wind, just floating up there "for ages". Say.. girl 75lb, Navigator280, 16kts wind - FIFTEEN minutes flight from 3000ft! All others finished repack. That's how I recall it... talking about eye witness estimation accuracy edit: sry, I meant girl 60 kilos or 132 pounds.. which would make WL 0.6:1 What goes around, comes later. -

A rubber band, knotted to a bottom of brake loop should be enough. (having elastic extra loop) I wouldn't be surprised if some people are using it already. After all, rubber band is a standard part of skidiving gear. What goes around, comes later. -

Guy gets pulled over. Cop comes over and asks: - Sir, have you been drinking? - Nah, not at all! (a clearly drunk guy) Without any alcohol testers, cop is reaching for confession: - OK Sir, when you see two headlights in the night - what's that? - Well.. that's a car - Yes but is it a Chrysler, a Chevy or a Mercedes? You see? Admit that you're drunk! - Nooo I'mm not - OK, when you see one headlight - what's that? - Mmmm it's a motorcycle I guesss - Yeah but is it a Honda or a Harvey? Come on, admit it you're drunk! - Lemmy ask you somethimg.. You see a woman stamding on a corner, short skirt, high heels... whas that? - Well that's easy, it's a hooker! - Yeaaaahh but is it your sister or your wife? What goes around, comes later.

We? Sounds line "you" don't know. A gooch is a sintered glass crucible, or a valve for steam locomotive. But I don't know what someone would be doing with one of those in freefall. Is that it? I'm afraid to click "that"... Well then, my ancestors are apologizing to Your descendants, your highness, it is an urban dictionary after all What goes around, comes later.

Great Intro Laugh An eagle got really drunk. Upon leaving the bar, he stopped while streching wings and checking the sky..... "Nuh.. I'll walk home."

Why is skydiving so expensive in Cebu?
format replied to tommyatkins's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
I understand all of that, that's probably why I have to pay $42 for 182 in 25 minutes to 10.000ft.. but how come Lodi can offer $100 tandem ticket against 2-3 times more in rest of U.S.? Seriously? What goes around, comes later. -
Africa. Three guys walking. Met lion, 1st guy threw a rock hitting lion's ass, lion ran away. Than they've met two lions, 1st and 2nd guy threw rocks, lions ran away. Than lion herd. 1st and 2nd guy climbed a tree... yelling at 3rd guy: CLIMB! CLIMB! 3rd guy: "Pfff, 'twasn't me throwing rocks" What goes around, comes later.
