we did that for cross country I got bored and waiting at traffic lights didn't really seem much like cross country, it bored me so I just walked most of the way, only sped up when the PE teachers was about.

So charge them for it, they fuck the chute up they pay for it.

so the number of ripped chutes would be high. Even if you miss the lorry, the chute is often dragged behind you as you land, and tarmac isn't kind to chute fabric.

Where's the problem ?

The other guys were 100 yards away at least. She was fucking gorgeous and got drunk on site every night (they slept their in caravans). Unfortunately one of the other guys in my group was a 17 year old cute boy so he got laid and I didn't. She kept pinching his arse when showing us how to to do the correct jumping position in practice.

No, the most intelligent have less offspring. If you look at less intelligent people (eg. a council estate), people match up by fitness and good looks.

Just look up some stats somewhere. I've had 240V through me many times, it just made me jump. My father (78) got one and said it was annoying. MY neighbour tradesman has had quite a few and the only one that harmed him was when he leapt off a ladder nad sprained his back.

I asked for mine to be reduced as sometime it's over the 10% or whatever it is allowed, but they said if they adjusted the transformer tap, the other end of the street would be far too low, so I guess someone gets low voltage. I guess I should be happy with high voltage, it means I can draw more power through the same cable. Maybe this is why Merkins have a transformer pole per house, sounds an expensive method though.

I've never bought one under about a tenner because I wanted more ranges or something. The cheapest I have is "Digitek" (no model on it) from China. No current, only volts and ohms and continuity.

It's as accurate as the display. 0-600A at 0.1A intervals.

Me and a friend took a shortcut through a graveyard and cut 2 miles off the route. We just slowed down so we were last then hopped over the wall when the rest couldn't see us. There were a few questions from others on how we were suddenly ahead of them.

I agree but you were talking of the weakest not inteligence there isn't much of a link between inteligence and weakness.
People usually match up by simmilarities goven a preference

You don;t know what went through you it's the current that kills, voltage doesn't travel through you.
It's also varing every cycle from 0 to 340V.

My father (78) got one and said it was annoying. MY neighbour tradesman has had quite a few and the only one that harmed him was when he leapt off a ladder nad sprained his back.

Some people survived through WWI & WWII .
Some die as kids die as a result of guns in fact more children die in the USA via guns than even car accidents.
I've never been injured in a car accident.

I've never had a sporting injury .

We splashed out more than I thought as we wanted contininty too

think we got a better price under £2.75

so +- 100mA well our True RMS are 0.5mA at 0.7% with 5 digits resolution
and we aren't limited to 50Hz sine I think it goes to 4KHz.

We had a research student that wanted a resoluition of 1pA had to send him away to find one
himself.

There isn't actually, as you said, simply charge a deposit at the start which you get back if your chute is still usable.

Alcohol tastes better than shit. Although a colleague once asked if I was drinking piss at lunchtime, I said "no it's applejuice", it was actually cider. Alcohol at work probably wasn't allowed!

When I was 13, my friend smoked heavily (also 13). We walked to the local shop before school and he just walked in and bought them, no questions asked.

When I was 18 I bought tonnes of alcohol for my friend (16)'s little brother (14). He got pissed, made a council house girl pregnant, then left the country.

That's a fucking good meter. They've probably improved since I bought mine 10 years ago. That one even tests transistors, I had to spend £100 to get one that did that back in the mid 90s. Still got it. Micronta from Tandy, rebadged something, I forget what.

We allow it at parties it's usually crap stuff those.

I think it;s a reasonable amount even after converting to UK about £600 I think Canadian is similar to US.

The problem comes when you have to claim the winnings, just ask an adult to do it should be OK.

Well it was fun.
One french GF said that when she gets married and has children she doesn't want her husband to be the father of her children as that would give him power over her.

trouble is that it starts when young , I don;t remember many take-aways when I was at school now they are everywhere and I see kids at lunchtime getting chicken & chips and drinking loads of sugary drinks.
It's why so many kids are fat and with parent driving them to school if they live more than 500 metres away.

They didn't force anyone but if you're not good at something yuo tend not to enjoy it either.

I guess that much won't harm you. I've looked directly at a welder a few times and it didn't blind me. Still got 100% eyesight according to specsavers, who were rather annoyed I have the eyes of a teenager (in vision quality, not sexyness) so they couldn't sell me any specs after cleaning some grit out of my eye and doing an eyetest both for free in the hopes of a sale.

I thought I was going to get loads of money from a multimillionaire Jewish acquaintance when his son said I was in his will. The bastard left me a book, on photography, to prove a point we were arguing about.

Good point, invest it in the past then go forwards and collect the interest. In fact all you need to do is take some money you have now, go back as far as you can when those coins/notes are still valid, pay it into a bank account, then go forwards and take it out with interest.

Neither do I, I don't even have a TV License. Piratebay is way cheaper.

When I worked at a university in the days before Piratebay, I ran an FTP server with 1000 users around the world. I got to see every single box office film before it was even in the cinema. I put a DVD writer in the server :-)

Exactly, when you take money out of the equation, people choose their partner by physical attributes only, so you better quality kids. Walk round a council estate and everyone's better looking.

It's the only one I've ever heard of. If you sprain your ankle, yes that's an injury, because you went over on it, external forces damaged it, just like a cut or bruise. But if you just overuse a muscle and it tears, that's not an injury, it's just worn out. Same with a car, you wouldn't say you had a crash when you wore the engine out from using it a lot..

I've managed 5 years twice, although in both cases we were on and off. One spent too much money and the other one never shut up. Apparently some people find someone they can put up with forever.

Wow. She wants to get pregnant with John and marry Jim? What happens when John wants to see the kids?

One of my girlfriends was married with 4 kids. She kept thinking about leaving him for me, but living in a seperate house nearby as two people, 15 parrots, and 4 kids in one house would be a fucking mess.

They eat take aways to avoid the healthy tasteless shit the school tries to ram down their throats. Wasn't there a school on the news where parents were selling them burgers through the fence?

But the driving to school is absurd, it's health and softy gone mad. When I was at school if you set foot in the car park you got taken to the headmaster. The school I worked at recently, the kids just play in the car park, and the staff are meant to avoid them. They stayed out of my way though. I snuck up on a couple of boys once by coasting my Range Rover up behind them, then I revved up the 3.5 litre V8 6 inches behind them and they fucking legged it. After a while the same car didn't work so good, very difficult to start. I was turning it over and over when trying to go home and some kids were behind me laughing. I stuck my head out of the window and said I wouldn't stand there if I were you. They ignored me. I knew it would start eventually, but running on LPG, which was trickling into the exhaust there was gonna be a bang. A fucking explosion and flames out the exhaust, they ran too. They got to like me, for some reason doing a jump over the school speed bump in a
Honda CRV is classed as cool. Probably against many regulations.

Depends on how likely it was meant to happen.
As putting a deposit down on something does indicate a likelyhood of something going tits up.

Don't really have one I went not my sort of thing I guess.

>to one in France and there were 3000 people, of all ages from toddlers to OAPs, all completely starkers. And guess what, I never saw a single erection.

Why would you, a female friend asked me why do men find it sexier to see her in a very short skirt, and wearing a bikini bottom as knickers,
than when she's on a beach wearing the same bikini bottom.
I said it's probbaly down to what you almost see and imagination .

Years ago people got excited about seeing ankels and then knees

Didn't want to draw attention as to why I didn't you try harder.
Same with any sport I'm probbaly more interested in sport now than I was as a kid,
but just watching it though.

No, it would be seen as damage through carelessness, not following the instructions to collect it properly after landing instead of dragging it along the ground for example.

Do you have poor eyesight?

I have ridiculously high resolution eyesight, I can read the numbers on SMD devices from a fair distance when others are using magnifying glasses.

This was back in about 2000 when I was 25. I've pretty much seen everything now, or something very similar to it. I rarely watch films, only thing I watch is comedy serieses like The Grand Tour, Clarksons Farm, etc..

I like girls in denim that's falling apart.

The cheap shit plastic ones (shell suits?) are usually worn by people more likely to want a shag.

I once jump started a car for a woman when her boyfriend had deliberately flattened the battery, and she asked if I wanted paid in sex! And of course I said yes, she was a bit older than me but really fit.

Like you can control if they're girls. Could have an abortion if they're the wrong one I guess.

No, I get a stiffy as soon as a woman gets naked. But that's when we're about to fuck. Being naked on a beach isn't sexual, it's natural.

It's pathetic. Sex is natural and we should all be fucking anyone we see.

I'm the opposite, watching is boring, participating is the fun. You don't sit and watch people playing computer games, you don't sit and watch them play monopoly. You do it yourself.

I'ts also a perception on what is perfectly fine.
Most people that drink and drive never really think oh I;'m too drunk to drive.
I can get sleepy after drinking a lot, used to do that at work too, falling asleep after lunchtime and that was after 5 pints of snakebite & black.

Don;t think so, can't easily tell some colours on resistors without glasses..

Little evidence of that it's why so many are obsese.

They do, animals can usually eat what is aviable if the right food suff doesn't exist then the species doesn't survive
It's what survival of the fitest really means it's not about who is the stonger indivudual.

I snuck up on a couple of boys once by coasting my Range Rover up behind them, then I revved up the 3.5 litre V8 6 inches behind them and they fucking legged it.

I use mine for keeping my keys 2 bunches, 4-6 cards, a bit of money and that's just to get to work.

Don;t think I could cope this weather being naked pretty hot in london and the heat reflecting off the concrete .
Then there's the risk of sunburn.

When at work I need pockets for tools and all sorts of things.
Can't imagine many jobs wwere clothes of some sort are an advantage.

That's why I don't se nudist camps as sexual, they just don;t interest me.

Pissing and shitting is natural and needs doing more often , but I wouldn;t want to see someone taking a dump next to me
while I was eating or having sex.

It's up to you to account for wind, you're taught that. Incorrectly packed chutes ain't gonna happen from people who've done it thousands of times. If they do, it'll be obvious that's why it went wrong, and you'd come down on your secondary chute.

I know I'm not due to the quality of driving that ensued.

Ah sleep, sleep has been proven to cause as many accidents as drinking. Yet you don't see thousands one for sleepy driving.

I cannot fall asleep at the wheel. I can only sleep when perfectly motionless and horizontal and not thinking about anything. Why on earth would you fall asleep when concentrating on the car and sitting upright!?
