    I get daily city offers through email every day from a couple of companies (livingsocial.com and groupon.com if you're interested) - today's was for a half price, solo, static-line skydive and since it's something I've always wanted to do I thought I might as well give it a punt. Has anyone done / does anyone do this? I'm looking forward to walking up to the plane so that I can turn to the instructor and say 'I ain't getting in no damn plane, fool!'... :laugh:

    We bought my MIL a tandem jump for her 50th birthday. Airfield was about an hour and a half away. The wife wanted to see her do the jump. 4 bloody times we made the journey only to sit around most of the day before they decided the weather was never going to be good enough and we drove home again. It was an unbelievably tedious place to sit and do nothing in slightly miserable weather.

    Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.

                  Only blanks! Dropped over Salisbury Plain, The Rhineland, Gibraltar and Norfolk. By far and away the most frightening was Norfolk... Fresh Blood for the local gene pool you see, I was in danger of being rounded up and forced to breed with the six-fingered midgets.
