  1. There's a new hire car out in Portugal. It's small,
    and if you can't get all your kids inside you can
    fit one in the boot. It's called the Renault McCann


    Boom Boom Tish

    Two of the three voices in my head agree with you. It might actually be unanimous but voice three only speaks Welsh.

  2. You'll be relying on someone whether you like it or not for your first jump.

    Either that be a Tandem Master or other instructor. Your even relying on the bloke that packed the chute or reserve.

    Best bet go to a DZ and ask them what they suggest.

  3. So as part of a new health kick I've dropped all the carbonated drinks, coffee etc and now drink only water.

    At work I can sink 5 litres a day as I find gently sipping water is easier than feeling the need to snack on crud all day.

    Other than making me need to pee a lot is this going to be bad for me in the long run? Worried it may be affecting my kidneys having to process a lot of water.

  4. This has been done a few times (hint: search :P)

    Look in the classifieds and define "average". Does average have an AAD, does average mean a complete rig. What size canopies etc.

    I'd start off looking in the classifieds seeing what kit you want from searching to gear forums (cross check this with instructors at your dz to make sure your choices are good) then search the classifieds.

    In simple a rig could be made a cheap or as expensive as you want - just depends how you want to play it.

    $5000 for new and $2500 for used seem to be good finger in the wind markers.

  5. Quote

    I made it to San Diego after 12 hrs of bullshit from Alaskan Airlines and lost my bags. I was suppose to be here 8 hours ago but at least I have my rig in hand.

    Needless to say Alaskan Air is not my airline of choice.

    >:(



    I'd be more worried about the lubrication in the tail fin being up to date.

  6. Seriously I have never wanted to smash, kill and destroy as much as I have after watching some episodes of this:

    http://www.mtv.com/ontv/dyn/sweet_16/series.jhtml

    Was doing some "baby sitting". Well for 14 year olds and they were watching it.

    They thought I was laughing as it was funny. No the laughter was me thinking of all the horrible things that I want to do to the people in it.

    I think its because they are stupid people.

    One quote I particularly liked was "Oh my god, she has a suprise and I don't know what it is".

    Well isn't that the essence of a suprise!!!!!!!!

    I am almost calm now. Almost.

  7. Nothing against P2P.

    Just against the copyright infringements. People bashing P2P is like moaning that some books have been copied into word format.

    P2P is a great technology for distributing material.

  8. Maybe she is getting upset becuase she knows you'll comes and give her attention and fuss.

  9. If its a "company" I smell sponsorship fees.

    You could charge him 3 x jump tickets. 2 for people holding the flag and 1 for the dude taking the photos.

    I mean who'd pass the opportunity for a free jump.

  10. Depends what job you have. I have a job where I can choose what days to work (its all a day rate pay) so if its sunny on a Monday grab the hiking gear and head for the dales.

    If I was limited to Sat and Sun activities I would be less impressed.

  11. Ask at the local art and design college. I bet they would have a student who would love to design the suit and see if finished.

    They may be able to submit the work as part of the course or something.

  12. I wonder if she passed that jump.

    Ok, didn't go the way they wanted it to go but looked like she knew what was happening.

  14. I suppose not sealing his rig is the mature version of knocking him on his ass.

    I wish I was more mature.

  15. Strangely enough we only gravitated towards it as me and my mate thought that there was nothing else worth watching on.

    Plus it had Charlie sheen in so was bound to be good.....yeah right.

  16. Terminal Velocity was shown in the UK last night.

    I now feel more than qualified to answer any questions you may have! Ignore your instructors...I was making notes during the ad breaks.

    Coming Soon: Sockpuppets demo jump advisory service. Available in about 2 hours (after I have watched Dropzone).

    That is all.
