  1. Besides - the scottish are keen curlers (?) as well! Never try to eat more than you can lift
  2. http://www.crutchfield.com/S-p5nN9aO2Fz8/cgi-bin/prodview.asp?i=500KCA420I I changed my head unit about a week before this came in - i have just a standard line in but this would be by far the best way to do it. Certainly in the UK line in on a stock radio is very unusual (unless of course you have a jag or something with a top of the range blaupunkt anyway!) Never try to eat more than you can lift
  3. Surfing and kitesurfing..... but then i still do both of them anyway Never try to eat more than you can lift
  4. Almost as good as that one in the film that i think had wesley snipes in, where the cute tandem master chick is walking around on the ground and doesn't appear to have any risers attached..... If you look hard enough on here you'll probably find the pick Or point breaks 4 minute freefall and conversation in midair, or cutaway's perfect headdown after a couple of tunnel sessions and about 3 jumps Gotta love "skydiving" movies (and yes, i'm afraid i will still watch them....)

  5. I have to say i'm with deuce on this one. Monkeys and apes aren't and shouldn't be domestic animals. Never try to eat more than you can lift
  6. You were going to COOK a curry? whats wrong with you man! Go for takeaway and non-specific meat!!!! (Edited to add: Or better still - a doner kebab) Never try to eat more than you can lift
  7. tell the duck joke tell the duck joke!!!!! Never try to eat more than you can lift
  8. Good luck PJ - enjoy your "Post-op" meal!!! Never try to eat more than you can lift
  9. I had the top of the range Salomon last year and they were comfy as slippers!!! I think its like anything - if they fit your feet then go for it - i personally can't wear Vans for example coz tehy are just the wrong shape. As for Flow, I don't think there should be too much problem, however again i think your feet have to be the right shape for them. I couldn't dial out the heel lift i was getting in Flow Bindings no matter which boots i tried, flows own or anything else, but i have a mate who swears by them. That was a shame as i think as a concept the flows are so convenient and are superb. Just make sure you try them in the shop and REALLY try to move your boot in the binding - w would suggest you screw the binding to the board, step into it, then get someone else to stand on the board while you try and pull your foot back out. If it doesn't move and its comfy then you are onto a winner. hope that helps, dave Never try to eat more than you can lift
  10. I'm curious - Whassa "gainer"?? Cheers, Dave Oh and my fave? well hopefully it will be the biplane at Eloy! but so far, anything from a skyvan Never try to eat more than you can lift
  11. Don't know about my sickest but it is my first decent picture!!! Sitfly jump number 10 (ish) - you can tell i'm enjoying it from the fixed grin that didn't disappear for a week! Arms are a touch high and far back but i'm working on that..... (edited to add pic - oops!) Never try to eat more than you can lift

  14. I had to go with HR because a couple of lawyers i know gave me some free advice when some **** hit and an me off my motorbike (cheers mate) Just do what my staff do - become "cough cough" really ill a couple of days before you are due to go on the holiday you have been denied!

  15. Without reading all the posts again, who said this? The statement that a dog can evolve into a chicken for example is not really understanding how evolution works. They MAY have a common ancestor however, or they may not. Life didn't necessarily evolve all from one single organism, but it may have done. In the same way, noone is saying that we used to be gorillas. The likelihood is that we went through a primate style stage, but that is maybe where the ideas on niche development and speciation start coming in. Never try to eat more than you can lift
  16. I did this too!!! Guess it was probably a different "Dr O" though, and the opium didn't do very much for me! I kitesurfed from 1 island to another in the Phillipines - had dolphins out there with me for part of the way. That was pretty cool
  17. Wow - good pic! "Toto, i don't think we're at the DZ any more...." Never try to eat more than you can lift
  18. Ha ha - thats true actually!!! DO you like creepy crawlies and frogs as well!!?? Bigway - don't let that put you off though.... Never try to eat more than you can lift
  19. Reasonably big DZ, i have only been during boogie time but it seems to have everything you would want! There are a few regular langar jumpers on here so it shouldn't be too long before one chimes in..... Never try to eat more than you can lift
  20. I have to echo everything Marcanadalysse had to say, Japan is an amazing place with so much to offer culturally and in any other way. I have been a couple of times and never cease to be amazed by how clean it is, how friendly the people are and how much of a "service" culture they really have. It amazes me that you can make a statement such as your last one obviously in ignorance without having any knowledge of what a place is really like. Never try to eat more than you can lift
  21. Symbi rock - mine fits like a glove and was done in about 3 weeks (I paid for a rush) You up at the DZ this weekend? I think between us we have got pretty much all the brands, feel free to look mine over. Will be there unless the weather is REALLY bad!! (like last weekend ) Never try to eat more than you can lift
  22. Unfortunately VG jumps in the UK so canopies in that size for that sort of money are a bit like rocking horse poo!! Oh and for information she is 5'10" ish and about 145lbs so she I don't think reach or loading should be a major problem Never try to eat more than you can lift
  23. If it is possible under a skydiving canopy i would envisage a "spin" as the thing i have seendone by top paragliders where the whole caboodle rotates around an axis running through the centre of the canopy and down through the pilot. Thiunk they call it a helicopter or something. Never try to eat more than you can lift
  24. errrrr, i don't get it?! Why is a nikon vs a canon soundbite a martial art?! Never try to eat more than you can lift
