  1. if your not capable of figuring out one of the most universal GUI's on the planet (in nearly any language) perhaps you shouldnt be travelling in the first place? it would seem there is alot you should have learned at home first First I would like to know which countries you have been to. Second,like casurf said, not all of the little symbols on the ATM are universal. I know a few that I would be willing to bet would confuse you if there was no english on there but you seem like the know-it-all type so maybe not.
  2. Exactly. I never use travelers checks and carrying all of the cash that you need for a two month or longer trip is just stupid. If other countries put up with me not really speaking their language, I think i can put up with pushing an extra button on the ATM when I am at home.
  3. It is funny people say all of this bullshit. You wont think it is so bad when you go to another and you cant read a fucking word on their ATM's. Then youll be damn glad that there is english on there.
  4. No, I am over by the sports arena in a two story mid 70's concrete block building. It always looked so solid on the outside , until today that is.
  5. i was at work and i thought the peice of shit building we are in was going to fall over.
  6. What is worse though: 1. getting a nut in your special sauce or 2. some fat, hairy guy wiping his ass with your french toast (from Road Trip)
  7. Thats still pretty gnarly that he stabbed himself to death. Hopefully it hurt more than what he did to the other people. That sucks.
  8. Just like any other somewhat strenuous activity, being out of shape is going to make it a lot harder. Hit the gym three days a week and when that jumping day rolls around, you will perform and feel a lot better. (dont forget to drink water).
  9. Giving a medal of freedom to someone who tried to hide child molesters? FUCK THAT!
  10. I would be real careful using your hips for fine tuned, "in close to your partner" movements, especially if you are flying your legs out to your sides instead of daffy. I am not speaking anything to your experience level bec. i dont know you but you could get in some serious trouble making movements with large parts of your body when you are close to someone. When I want to make precise, small movements, I will use my lower leg(calf) and foot. This has been safe and has worked well for me. Of course, I dont have very many jumps so I would want to hear from someone with lots of jumps.
  11. I take it you didn't go to Motherwell or Glasgow. You might have wished yourself back in London. Or better still, Cambridge. Maybe not Glasgow, but i'll take Edinburgh over London anyday.
  12. Who gives a shit about warm water if there is no surf?
  13. Or what. The typical cynical California attitude. Obviously caused by the intake of too much guacamole and tofu. I can help though. PM me nekkie pics and we'll discuss them.
  14. How could you not know this was a bad idea?
  15. I know it has been said a hundred times but how the fuck can he call it a sacred institution when there are TV shows like "the Bachelor" and "Who wants to marry a millionaire". I would much rather see two gay people be allowed to get married than handing out a license to some waste of space like Jennifer Lopez.
  16. I am sure you would have done a much better job with it. Anyways, the movie was great.
  17. Everybody cries when its cold and rainy and then everybody starts crying again when it gets warm. Ultimately, Ill take warm weather anyday over shitty,cold weather. (unless it is like 120 deg)
  18. Is it private or ppublic property, and what is the catagory of the airspace above it? it is a public beach (la jolla shores). There are always hanggliders and paragliders flying around above but I dont know what type or airspace it is.
  19. Lots of people have felt the same way about their dropzones when they first started jumping there. Me included. I thought all of the people in their little clicks were a bunch of dickheads. But instead of complaining, I went and took some coach jumps and did a whole shitload of solos, and then eventually started doing jumps with these people. And the same people that I initially thought were assholes, I can now have fun jumping with them (even though some of them are still dicks). Point being: the most important thing is that you are doing this to have fun so if you are not having fun, then either quit or sack up and do something about it.
  20. What if you were to land on the beach somewhere (a relatively uncrowded san diego beach for example), can they confiscate your rig and give you a ticket? Or do they have no right to do anything, assuming you werent putting anyone elses life in danger?
  21. That is a good way to get some "special" sauce on your pizza.
  22. For me it is basically that you can do so many things with freeflying that you can never do with RW. I did about ten RW jumps after AFF before I went into freeflying. I just wasnt very much fun when you get dirty looks at the end of a three way because you werent in the right position. I had shitloads more fun doing two way sitflying and laughing the whole way down. I go to the dropzone to have fun and get away from the hustle-bustle bullshit of the work week. I dont go there to get a bunch of flack from some dick who didnt like my body position. Plus, sausage suits are stupid looking.
  23. The problem is that her uniform does not show what she really has to offer. If you saw her in "Bruce Almighty" with jim carrey....Damn!.....She is hot as hell.
