Playing 'Chicken' with Planet Earth ... :)

HALLOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

Thought it was about time I said hello to everyone ... well, those who'll read this thread at least
Anyway, I'm in the UK and am off to Seville for two weeks to do an AFF course. I leave on Saturday! YEAAAAYY!! Hopefully I'll get through all the levels and come back with an A-licence (or at least be very close to getting it). I've read a a lot of the advice on AFF so far and the general idea seems to be "Relax, arch, enjoy yourself and DON'T FORGET TO PULL!!!!" (usually in that order ) ... I'm pretty sure I can manage all the above but if not, I intend to leave a VERY big hole

If anyone out there is based in the UK let me know who/where you are! All of you beware though ... if I get to know you then there's the risk that I'll be buggin you for opinions & advice (especially on kit) so be prepared!

I guess that's enough for now. I don't want to bore anyone with my first post!

Amir :)

PS I don't think I can consider myself a proper member of dz.com until skymama has said hello ... so come on you gorgeous slice of "Totally, 100%, Grade A, prime meat, MILF!" ... show me some love! *

* of the strictly maternal kind, of course (and even then, only if you want to)

Our sweet Skymama is on "break" so you are stuck with us giving you a welcome.

Let us know how the AFF jumps went.

Thanks for the messages!

Excellent advice Feeblemind, I'll definitely be sure not to blink (and not die), especially since I don't want to miss anything! (including my instructor who'll be ... well, instructing me I hope). Where's the fun if you only do it once

and flyangel2 ... you have over THREE THOUSAND JUMPS ... I am humbled. Now I now why some posters refer to 'sub-500s' as still learning...

Provided everything goes well over the next two weeks, I'll probably be looking to buy an Altimeter pretty soon. I've got my eye on a Digitude for now (clear display and easy/accurate readings according to some reviews). If you have any comments/suggestions I'd be glad to hear them. I can't afford to buy a whole rig so I think I'll have to start with the smaller bits and bobs first.

BTW I didn't want to make it sound that I only wanted to hear from skymama (sorry if I overdid it and it sounded that way!) I'm looking forward to travelling and the more people I know here, the more DZs I might visit.

I plan to be in this for the long haul folks. Teach me stuff, I wanna learn

I'm still learning. Don't let numbers upset you. That is unless you start handing out advise while you're still a student.

Skymama is on her way home, but I'm not sure how much typing she'll be able to do

sounds like I missed something here ...

... ouch, that really sucks ... I just did a search and found your thread about her wrist I hope she's healing well. ... on her first ski-trip too.

If you speak to hear again you can tell her that even random people she's never met on the forums are wishing her a speedy recovery! I'm sure she'll be up in the air again soon.

Tell us the truth, it's because of her avatar you are sending Get Well Vibes

I missed seeing it around the forums. It's definitely something worth looking for

YEEAAAAYY!!!!

Yup, I think my initiation to the forum is complete! I'm glad you're back.

I'm off to Spain TODAY and hopfully should back in two weeks. Whoo-Hoo!!

Even my boss made me promise not to injure myself because it'll really screw up her plans if I do. I might get a friend to phone her on April 1st with some story about me being rushed to hospital... but that'll be another story
