wmw999 2,544 #4 January 31, 2006 I think you also had to be a young Brit during the 90's to understand all this. Not, um, that I qualify. Trust me on that one Wendy W.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence.

Zeemax 0 #10 January 31, 2006 Quote20) You taped the Pepsi Chartshow on radio one and tired in vain to pause the tape before the annoying guy talked and ruined the whole thing. The Pepsi Chart (or Nescafe Network chart if you were a real child of the 90's) was syndicated to commercial radio, not the BBC Phoenix Fly - High performance wingsuits for skydiving and BASE Performance Designs - Simply brilliant canopies Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
