either sunset beach landing in Fiji or Glenorchy, near Queenstown, NZ...

it's like a mercer reunion hehe, if anyone ever feels the need to give me a job and/or money i'll catch up with you some time! Jill x

I do, although they won't let me at the moment cos i spent 2hrs at bangkok airport and apparently that means i clearly have malaria hehe... O+

I've done about 100 jumps on mine, no problems so far...

i had the same problem, everyone seemed to find it hilarious that i broke myself skydiving on the other side of the world and felt the need to call to mock me when i was in hospital still... i do understand the hilarity of the situation to be fair, but it's not all that helpful having people laugh at you when you're in traction i tell people i did it skydiving but always make sure i point out that it was entirely my fault and then having to explain that surprisingly enough the parachute did open

http://local.google.co.uk/ is better, like google earth but you don't need to download anything, i can see my house on it... (well i was impressed

this is too low http://www.skydivingmovies.com/ver2/pafiledb.php?action=file&id=4030

if i'd read the post i would have seen that you're not back for a couple of weeks, oh well since when do i pay attention hehe... i'm guessing the visa situation didn't work out in the end, oh well looks like you're stuck with us then hehe.. say hi to everyone for me if you see them again before you leave...

i'm going to uni in september and my placement is in Lichfield, so i'm going to be about half way between hinton and langar, so i'll probably give it a go at some point

yeh, i got bored of not jumping so made mike take me for a tandem up in the bay of islands a couple of weeks after i was off crutches and then i was travelling around NZ so wanted to jump at places like motueka, fox and gy, so i did

hey philippa (i probably spelt that wrong, i never got the hang of it when i was manifesting you hehe)... i'm back at home now as well and will probably be going to headcorn on saturday if you want to join me (i'll probably leave early cos of the football but i need a repack next week, so i have to go this weekend really...) if i remember you were a bit anti headcorn, but it's your nearest DZ and personally i like it there

*braces for "perhaps you should take up bowling" Posts* well there was that time i broke my pelvis in 7 places in an accuracy competition, or the time i crashed into a tree (twice), or that time i hit a concrete wall, or the time i got grounded for not flaring on my entire AFF course, or the time i did a downwinder in 30 knot winds, you get the idea oh well, i've made it to 300 jumps somehow hehe...

4 people sent off in one match, what is up with that??! Hopefully the portugal-england game won't be a repeat of 2002!

what is going on??? there have been a ridiculous amounts of bad calls recently... Lucic got sent off for pretty much no reason in the germany-sweden game... the argentina-mexico game has been a complete joke... Messi clearly scored, i don't know how anyone could say that was possibly offside... Castro given a yellow card when he wasn't even involved with the tackle... Heinze should have been sent off for that tackle... the list goes on... seriously, i can't believe the amount of mistakes the refs have been making, this is meant to be the world cup!

i wasn't all that impressed with the england game, it was a bit embaressing really, what is up with Crouch? yeh he scored, but how many attempts did it take him?! i was quite impressed with Lennon, he's certainly got some speed if nothing else... also everyone should take a moment to acknowledge that i predicted the 2-0 score hehe
