When I try to download this attachment I get the error message "Cannot play back the video stream: No suitable decompressor could be found" Anyone know what I have to do to see this?

So is the first "unattached" jump done with a BOC rig? Does this still have two instructors?. Is this the normal progression in the US or does it vary from dz to dz? So many questions - sorry!

Thats what I started on last year - had to do 5 BOC conversion jumps after I had my A licence so used a ripcord up to my 17th jump. Didn't realise there was any other way!!!

- sorry,don't think my butt qualifies but when I reach my hundredth I'll do my best!! (fair way to go yet - phew)

LOL!! Mental image of dz.com-ers everywhere sitting at their PC's chanting - made my day! Blue ones D

This might be a silly question but how do you Psycho-Pack? I don't think I've ever heard of this before

A few more to cheer up anyone at work Man who wants pretty nurse, must be patient. Man who drive like hell, bound to get there. War doesn't determine who's right. War determines who's left. Man who lives in glass house should change in basement Man with hole in pocket feel cocky all day long. Girl who sit on jockeys lap get hot tip. Girl who sits on Judge's lap gets honourable discharge. Lady who go camping must beware of evil intent. Man who keep feet firmly on ground have trouble putting on pants. Man who leap off cliff jump to conclusion. Man with tight trousers is pressing his luck. Man who run in front of car, get tired Man who run behind car, get exhausted Passionate kiss like spiders web - soon lead to undoing of fly. Foolish man give wife grand piano. Wise man give wife upright organ. Man who walk through revolving door naked going to Bangkok Man who scratches ass should not bite fingernails. Panties not best thing on earth, but next to it. Wife who put husband in doghouse soon find him in cat house. Man who sleep in cat house by day, sleep in doghouse by night. Man who fight with wife all day, get no piece at night Man who tell one too many light bulb jokes soon burn out It takes many nails to build crib, but one screw to fill it. Man who sit on tack get point He who fishes in other man's well often catches crabs. Better to be pissed off than pissed on. Man who stand on street corner with hands in pockets, not feeling crazy, feeling nuts. Boy who go to sleep with stiff problem wake up with solution in hand. Secretary not permanent fixture, until screwed on desk! Men who live by the sword get shot by those who don't, Eagles may soar, but weasles don't get sucked into jet engines! Blue ones, D

Whatever flicks your switch Slappie! LOL

Don't be envious skymama - as the old saying goes, anymore than a handful's a waste! D

just remembered - try www.motorcyclenews.com - loads of useful stuff on there as well, probably some forums with that kind of query too

Whats the bike? if it is something fairly conventional then accepted wisdom is you would be better off selling as shipping costs and the hassle of getting it re-registered, but if its a special then I understand why you'd want to bring it out. Good, bad and ugly? - Good is some of the roads over here - especially if you take a quick hop into france there are some long, bendy, well surfaced roads with fantastic scenery and police who don't really seem to care as you flash past them at well over the ton! The bad and the ugly are easier to come up with - insurance in the UK is a nightmare (not so bad if the bike is a cruiser) - weather (goes without saying), anal retentive traffic police and speed cameras. If you are riding in London good luck - nerves of steel and eyes in the back of your head make things easier, but you do get used to it. All that said though, don't let me put you off as the biking community out here is really good - some places like Matlock in Derbyshire regularly see hundreds of bikers turning up every weekend and riding the roads around there. (Obviously only when its not jumping weather of course!) If you want to ask any specific questions email me on [email protected] and I'll do my best to help you out. Blue ones, Dave

The guy who is the lead singer is Damon Albarn - ex lead singer of Blur, but he never really made much sense before gorrilaz so you're right there! you're spot on about the goofiness though - videos are quite funky too

In best Homer Simpson stylee "Doh" - point taken! lol R&K - Did you get to Hinton last weekend?

No problems - all are truly becoming jedi masters! Maybe someone could help me with something - how do you get the "in reply to" thing within your posts? Blue ones D

flyhi - like your quote about following your dreams.....lol

Yeah I do - its amazing how quick you can do the Alt+Tab finger flick when the boss walks past!

Will do - unfortunately working near my home (Reading) until 2... Haven't jumped for a year and went up to Hinton last weekend to find out what I needed to do to get current also hoping just to see people landing! Sadly nothing doing.....sigh - wish I lived a bit closer! Maybe meet you guys tomorrow if you are there? D

Is your alternate DZ Hinton? I was hoping to start jumping there this weekend but looks like thats shot! Blues D

Yeah I tried that, but the stewardess got a little upset. Can't think why

One lowly solitary Cresco 750 - VH-END. Some of that other stuff sounds fun - how do you get to jump out of a 747??

So Michele - We wait with baited breath - are you going to keep writing all the way to your "A"..... and maybe beyond???? (Please?) Blue skies, S

No your replies aren't getting lost - its my fault, I somehow managed to save my post twice so your answer is on the other one as well, sorry about that! Thanks for your (and everyones) replies - I think I should be able to find something to suit now - getting in touch with the Bristol University Skydive club seems like a good bet. Blue Skies, Stumpy

I posted "Skydiving in England" twice by mistake - sorry about that. Don't seem to be able to delete one, can someone do this for me? Cheers

Any English skydivers out there who know any good dropzones in the southwest (ish)? I last jumped a year ago in Oz (I only have 22 jumps and really need a refresher) and really want to get back into it, but don't know of any dropzones in this end of the country - anywhere within an hour or so would be good. Blue skies, Stumpy
