I had my pants pulled down in Reykjavik airport once at £8 a beer, and it wasn't even a full pint - I felt violated... What about the cheapest? 7p for a litre of Bia Hoi in Viet Nam. Getting trousered on less than a pound is very achievable over there. Save a tree: eat a beaver.

I'm back in the U.K now after a long stint in Australia and New Zealand and I'm regretting not buying a line set from Icarus whilst I was out there... From some recent inquiries with U.K suppliers I've been quoted £189 for the line set itself and £59 for the actual reline, in total that's a seemingly extortionate £250! (or $477 for the benefit of our U.S buddies). Has anyone else had to reline a Safire 2 recently and if so, how much did you pay? Any reccomendations would be greatly appreciated! Thanks Save a tree: eat a beaver.

I was unexpectedly fruit looped once at about 6000 or 7000ft by someone who I knew better on the ground than in freefall. My glove came half way off my right hand and I spent the next few thousand feet trying to get it back on so I could dump! I wasn't too chuffed to be honest. Save a tree: eat a beaver.

Thanks for your advice! I think I will head back to Strathallan and also try out St Andrews as well. Rupert, how could I forget - it was yourself who introduced me to static line (forever grateful!) and I was Eddie's first live tandem at Strathallan as well... but you didn't tell me it was his first until we got to the ground ya bastards! Probably for the best to be honest but I got a cheap DVD out of it anyway! I'm just looking for a good place to make some friends and never have too much difficulty in organising 4-ways etc, can't do anything about the weather though. I've been a bit spoilt in Australia as my last 60 jumps were made at an awesome dropzone with a good community of skydivers (tandems were a rare sight) - and 15000ft loads in a cessna caravan. Can't take these things for granted! I'd be very interested in heading out to Spain if you wouldn't mind me tagging along so I'll send you a PM you closer to the time when I've assessed my cash flow! Could you let me know your dates if possible. Anyway, looking forward to getting to skydive with my compatriots!

Hello everyone, I'm a virgin poster on these forums but they seem a good source of information so I might as well make the most of it! I'm heading home soon back to the shores of Scotland - not exactly the greatest climate for skydiving but I need to find a home dropzone and would like to hear from anyone that has jumped at either Strathallan (where I jumped static line as a student a few times) or St Andrews. As far as I know these are the only dropzones, mmmm, which one to choose.... I might as well metion that my licenses are Australian (APF) so any info would be greatly appreciated. I'm not back till December and I think I might head to Spain straight away as I haven't jumped for about 2 months and I want to try and get current again (I'm in Vietnam- ain't no skydivers here!) Thanks people! Save a tree: eat a beaver.
