1- Wanted to prove to myself I could do it + dissatisfaction with the direction of my life at the time. 2- 1 year. 150 jumps. 3- AFF under the auspices of the APF. 4- More confidence. Less free time .

Isopropyl alchohol is what ya need.

I've no interest in a tunnel rat forum, just the addition of time to profiles. As for whether it's relevant or not, how many members of Arizona Airspeed or Deland Majik do needlepoint?

Ah yeah, I know the one. Used to be famous for its live bands. Not so much anymore methinks.

Sod it. Drink it yourself then .

Your mission for the weekend is to make some B53-with-absinthe shooters for the Chicks That Are Rockin' this weekend. And take photos .

Which one? Town Hall in Newtown has it for $6.50, and the Botany View useta have it for $5, but now the chips/mash cost extra

I've got a fairly high tolerance too, but mixed Aftershocks are rough. If you can get your hands on real absinthe in the States (dunno if it's legal), make B52 shooters replacing the Grand Mariner with Absinthe as the top layer. Light the Absinthe and (quickly) drink the shooter through a straw. You definitely won't jump the next day .

Or Blue. Or Green. There are a number of different varities. For altogether too much fun, make layered shots using multiple colours. Then, after a couple, try to remember your name .

Why would adding tunnel time to one user's profile demean the value of the skydives another user has made? They're separate activities. Likewise, the number of freefly jumps I've done bears no relationship to my ability to swoop. Nor does having a rigger's qualification mean that I can turn 20 points in time. All that adding tunnel time would do is allow skydivers to share a more complete picture of their skydiving-related experience with their peers.

Here's the website of the guy behind the original badgerbadgerbadger animation. Check out the Kenya one. It's mental.

I've a banjaxed left hand that just isn't strong enough to swim or cycle with. And the only reason I accepted my current job with its pain in the arse location is because I could cycle there and back and get nice and fit. Then I stuffed my hand playing soccer :-(

A solution would be to use UTF-8 everywhere. Two problems I can think of though: 1- You may have to reencode everything in the database, if it's encoded in incompatible codepages. 2- UTF-8 support seems to vary across browsers and platforms. And I've not, as yet, found a comprehensive list of what's supported where. (This is why I don't do web development for a living ;-)

In this particular case, I'd say the appearance of the unicode artifact is related to something the reply poster did, rather than your browser. It's be interesting to quiz them on their browser+os combo. And if they cut 'n' paste out of their browser or not.

Can't help on the rigger front. The Brits I know that useta live in London mostly jump at Weston On The Green or Hinton. Details can be obtained via the BPA.

RatherGood. You may recognize this lad's style from VH1 & various ads (including Quiznos in the States).

Huh? I don't get this. They haven't actually done anything... they're just having lots of fun hanging out together. Absolutely nothing wrong with that. My gf is well within her rights to hang out with her male friends, as am I to hang out with my female ones. On the other hand, if she broke up with current bf to be with kinney29, what's wrong? She didn't cheat, he wasn't a bastard, and current bf is let down as nicely/honestly as is possible in the circumstances... kinney29 is, in my opinion, being decent and reasonable about the whole situation. A gentleman, in fact. And there's no reason to suspect the girl is anything less than a lady. She hasn't made a move on him or nuthin'. It's no sin to be attracted to someone. edit: Of course, what you do about that attraction may well be

Looks like unicode character strings. What browser & OS are you using? More (technical) details

Last time I checked HH was in England. Ain't no freedom of speech guaranteed in no constitution there boyo . ps: it's spelt "where"

agreed

If you're a good mate, just tell her that your friends are pissed with her because of what's happened. Then you arrange for her to chat to them. With an instructor/S&TA/DZO present to arbitrate Now, if it really is 02:30 where you are, go to bed! Losing sleep won't help anybody
