  1. [reply Option A/ you never get to meet her. Therefore, think that what happened to her is a shame. You'll survive it. Moving on. Another one bites the dust. Option B/ you did meet her. Hurts like hell. Wonder "why her?". Option C/ I really wished i've met her in real life, hurts like hell, and wonder why Her. Been drunk since 11am, am still drunk.

  2. Thanks for this, i'fe been drunk since about 11am. Sometimes i don't like this sport at all... To things left unsaid, things left undone, and people left un-met. Eugene "In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move."
  3. Yeah, wether you know them all not, they're still family. Eugene "In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move."
  4. I don't know what to say.. i wished i've met her in person. My thoughts go out to everyone who knows her. Damn. Eugene "In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move."
  5. You obviously you haven't seen too much Top Gear, they really don't give a shit. A couple of weeks ago they crashed an £800k supercar! The car companies don't mind 'cos they know a good Top Gear review is worth far more than even a completely written off demo vehicle. Very cool exposure for wingsuits, kudos to everyone involved
  6. Oh no.... My condolences to her friends and family. Eugene "In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move."
  7. Crocodiles in the world's longest pond... How long do you think it'll be before someone swoop it? Eugene "In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move."
  8. Hello, this is what i did for progression, first off, talk to your instructors, this is what i did, but things might be different for you. I suppose it serves to put things in perspective for skinny bastards like us I'm 5'7", 120lbs. +20lbs gear, +4lbs lead. Skymaster 290, 8 jumps static line. Navigator 260, 7 jumps, AFF Skymaster 230, 17-ish jumps. Spectre 170, 30-ish jumps Triathlon 150, jump 66 onwards. To be honest, i'm very happy with the 150. I won't have the skill to get the best performance out of it for a very long time, and docile enough that i won't hurt too bad when i mess up and go smack into the ground. What more can i ask for? I've seen amazing things done with big student canopies with enough skill. And remember, you're going to have to wear some weight to keep level with other people in freefall, and that can easily bring you one size up to get the same loading.

  9. Ditto.. I'm leaving in a four person house, one french girl. And she is by far the messiest of the lot.. Leaves hair everywhere, in the bathtub, sink, kitchen, wall... Never washes up her dishes because she convinently forgets about it. Once i had a friend over for dinner and was short of dishes.. Went to ask her about it, brought a stack of 8 plates out of her room to wash. Not to mention she almost killed us twice by putting a pot of water to boil on a gas hob, then going to sleep. She then had the cheek to think it was one of us who did it.. Bleh. Anyway, rant over. What are you moving over for? In my opinion, a mix house is more intersting, as long as you all get along fine. Where in the UK are you moving to? Eugene "In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move."
  10. Damnit... I haven't gotten around to learning scuba diving yet..... Eugene "In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move."
  11. It has... which is sad to refer to children as "baggage".... but I do understand the complication that they would add to the relationship. I always thought children can be more of a "present" then baggage.... Eugene "In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move."
  12. Mine too.. It just brings tears to my eye thinking about it. Eugene "In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move."
  13. I was fascinated in hearing that Yuri Gargarian bailed out on reentry for the first flight. Not sure if it was before or after the chutes opened on the capsule, or how high up. Cheaters. Presumably it wasn't that high up or they'd have made a claim on it. The vostok wasn't designed to land with the pilot, it didn't have chutes. The pilots bailed out, Gagarin left at 7km, and landed under two canopies after his reserve deployed as well. Eugene "In the beginning the Universe was created.

  14. Only can talk for myself here... Talk to your instructors. I'm a skinny bastard, 50 kg naked. Skymaster 290, 8 jumps static line. Navigator 260, 7 jumps, AFF Skymaster 230, 17-ish jumps. Spectre 170, 30-ish jumps Triathlon 150, jump 66 onwards. Eugene "In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move."
  15. Hey, nobody's perfect.. And by your example, i'm close minded too.. It's a flawed world, we just do the best we can in it, the the US military is doing a lot better then the other guy. And just want to say, keep up the good work. Eugene "In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move."
  16. I remember Gaia!!! "Captain Planet, he's our hero. Gonna take pollution down to zero...." Man, that brings back memories..... Eugene "In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move."
  17. Probably for fear of having to go into hiding after she labeled him a racist or something like that. I only see one racist here, and it's not the officer. Eugene "In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move."
  18. I think it's more philosphy then science really. The Gaia theory isn't it? The Earth as one symbiotic organism. we could only play out part of it i guess. ensure that humanity survives. How that's done is another question... Eugene "In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move."
  19. If the earth is trying to kill us off, that means that humanity would try to survive. We do what's in our best interest, that's life. If humanity decides to let ourselves die off, we'll just be a dead end in evolution. That's my thoughts. edited to add: i agree with you. Eugene "In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move."
  20. No, please do go on. Don't you see sarcasm when you see it? Apparently not. You're taking it out of contex. All i'm saying that increasing populations... forget it, we're not understanding each other anyway. Although i do admit that i was out of point earlier. Eugene "In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move."
  21. Damn it.. I keep trying to stay clear of Religion, Politics, and Speakers Corner, but i keep getting drawn into it... Eugene "In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move."
  22. I'm just pointing out that the statement can be read in another way, no reason for you to think i'm an idiot. While you're at it, care to say what you mean by sterillizing the surface? Complete melting of the continental plates? Jeez... Eugene "In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move."
  23. well, from what i remember reading, the world is suppose to be in the middle of an ice age... The warmish weather we've had for the last couple of thousand year is just a blip. Eugene "In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move."
  24. Why is it stupid, is it because you think the world IS going to be around forever? Or that he's going to heaven? Eugene "In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move."
  25. It's won't work, some people don't accept selection and evolution, the same people who's religion forbids the use of birth control. And Selection doesn't weed out the weak, it weeds out those who can't adapt to a new environment. I think it's a lot harder to kill the planet. The planet as we see it now, yes. But The Planet? As far as it's concerned, humanity's just a blip. People complain about global warming. the fact is that we don't have enough data to even guess what the climate is going to do if humanity isn't around. The planet is very big, and we only live on a tiny layer on the surface. I digress, sorry! Eugene "In the beginning the Universe was created.
