  1. to me, a parachute jump is a low level jump where your chute opens straight away (like his attempts) a skydive invloves some freefall, and mainly done from a lot higher than 2000 feet his website says 600 skydives, i'd expect to see him do 600 skydives, not 600 parachute jumps
  2. I'd like to see you tell Jay Stokes he's not a "proper" skydiver. Let me know when you plan to do that... I'll be sure to sell tickets. i didn't say he wasn't a proper skydiver
  3. top man for attempting it but its only skydiving by name... each jump by the sounds of it is JUST enough to qualify as a jump... not proper skydiving from 14,000 feet
  4. Is this an American tradition more than anything? I did my AFF last year at what is arguably the busiest DZ in England (langar) and no mention of buying beer was made. I've not seen the tradition done by anybody at the DZ to be honest. Is it a tradition that is dieing out, or just mainly done in America? I see it a bit like tipping, i don't tip (if you want more money, go and get a better job, nobody makes you take a poorly paid job) so i dont really see why i should buy a case of beer for people who are already getting paid
  5. don't think bad of them , they can't help it they do it all the time at the slightest thing. Somebody gets a burger and they will "woop and holla" a septic does anything even remotely well, its "woop and holla" time i think the Brits have a bit more self control and class, but hey... i could be wrong
  6. why not just have a cheaper job done and give some money to feeding homeless people?
  7. dwarfs are so funny i'd hate to be a short arse but then again, i'm glad we have dwarfs ..... how could we have dwarf throwing contests otherwise
  8. http://www.vnn.vn/dataimages/original/images699324_CherieBlair02.jpg either that, or she's morphing into the Joker
  9. i'm pretty sure there are some Americans who still believe Oswald did it all off his own back.... it would upset them to think that the country they love so much would kill their own president, oh no sir, no group (government, Mob, CIA) would possibly strike at the heart of America like that, it MUST have been a lone renegade mind you.,.... Americans do seem to have a liking for killing their own presidents... poor old Bonzo lover Ronnie Ray-Gun got shot as well didn't he
  10. agreed, the Queen is a class act i'm very proud of the fact we have a monarchy (but like you, not too botherd about some of the minor royals, they have brought a bit of shame onto themselves) i love the tradition of it all, and the fact there are many countries who envy Great Britain just having a president would really piss me off, to me it's much better the sense of belonging i get from having a royal family we'te not called Great Britain for nothing
  11. also by David Lee Roth .... "people who say money can't buy happiness, aren't shopping at the same stores as i am"
  12. So, if what the Bible says is true, you're going to hell, correct? are you going to hell?
  13. at my DZ, we all stick our fingers up our own arses, then go to do the funny handshake ...... easy way of getting everybody out the plane quick
  14. http://www.jfkmurdersolved.com/index1.htm great bit of footage of his head exploding to belive that one man alone can shoot 3 shots and kill the president of the USA just doesn't add up... of course he had help from a great hight, but by who is the mystery
  15. thanks for the answers, i never thought about which way the force pulling the pin could come from ! as a matter of curiosity, what are the other 3 ways ? thanks
  16. how come his brains ended up behind him (on the boot/trunk of the car) if he got shot from behind? wouldn't the force of the bullit make them go in the same direction? ie, forwards?
