Just out of curiosity.. how does indoor skydiving work?

This sort of think without the chick would be my guess.

Sort of like normal skydiving with a roof.
Oh I figured that. I was just thinking the roof would be rather a limiting factor due to the nature of the beast, i.e. falling a long way before activating a parachute.

A kind of ground wind jet thing to simulate free-fall? I thought that might be the case.

Looks fun. I wouldn't want to try the real thing. Or ordinary parachuting for that matter.

That's the stuff, the one I'm thinking of going to is this one http://www.airkix.com/ You go up and down a long tube and it looks quite good fun, as you will see from clips on the site.

As for ebay, I must admit that I can't remember the last time I bought any Dredd stuff off it. There is NOTHING out there  :'(

Looks fun, but that website's very vague when it comes to how much time you get per 'flight' - I scoured it and found one mention of "two minutes", which seems bloody expensive!

COMMANDO FORCES

The family ticket is 10 mins for £160 off peak or £180 peak. Obviously that works out 9 mins for me and 1 for Sam  ;)

Is it possible you have now bought all credible merchandise AND tat relating to everyones favourite Judge? :o

There's that one elusive piece of tat. It wants to be found...it wants the cellar...

Oh dear god, it just won't go away!!

COMMANDO FORCES

Stop it JOE SOAP  ;)

Well the week has gotten off to a terrible start.

It seemed as if everyone was conspiring against me at work, just to stop me getting back home before Carolyn left for her flight. Luckily due to my great skill I managed it with 3 minutes to spare.

Next up, Sam stayed at Grannies while I had my sleep, later before we all sat round for Sunday dinner he was sick but has since recovered. Don't know why he suddenly felt bad and before you say it Granny is a great cook and we ate everything. That will be the last vegetable for the week!

I've just got home and saw that we had a message on the phone from one of Carolyn's friends husband. I rang him back and was told that his wife had had a stroke and was in hospital. I can't mention this to Carolyn and her friend out there as the three of them always go out together and they'll be worried sick.

I told you the week started bad.

Tomorrow, we are going to get all the decorating stuff and put the T-shirt designs in to be made (from another thread). Let's hope the week improves!

Hartlepool is just as good as St Lucia, any day of the week.

I've been to Hartlepool and I don't believe you.

The old Steetly Magnesite works looked like heaven to me, pity they wouldn't let us film there. :(

Do you know what would improve your week? Knowing that certain people have received what they have had coming to them. Like a people who won a competition to win a book. Maybe this book is the eleventh book in the series. Maybe this book is about a cop, and it's about all the cases he police-does.
He's only trying to be what following how his dreams make you wanna be, man!

I can't believe it, after a good laugh last night we went to sleep just before 01:00, I awake by saying hello to the bog from both ends! I've sent Sam up to Grannies and I am now entrenched on the sofa going through The Pacific on Bluray.
What shit start, still I phoned Carolyn up and she's having a great time  ::)
