Anybody spare a quid? :D

Postby Beardy » Jan 25th, '08, 01:18



hehe

you ever heard of people being cheeky gits?

Well you don't ask, you don't get ;)

I've been saving up to go on a skydiving course, and need to raise myself £1300

As of the moment, there are 11032 users on this forum (I think) meaning if everybody found a quid in their account, and donated it, I would be able to go on my course ;)

soooooo

being the blunt cheeky git i am...

anybody wanna donate a quid? a quid fifty? a fiver?

just summit sitting there doing nothing? You won't miss it ;)

Love you all! :D

Love

Chris

Well, in some ways I admire your cheek, but then - there are people on this forum who have actual financial issues Beard, lost jobs, had genuine bad breaks - and you're asking over a grand so you can go on a sky diving course? :shock:

Nice try Chris but *rasp* jog on!

Right, I'm saving to buy our first house, is that a better reason to get a quid?

I'll give you some cash as long as I get to pack the chute.

On a completely different subject does anyone know where I could get a cheap rubber tyre that will fit in a backpack?

Last time I gave you a tenner Chris you tore it up and didn't restore it. As I recall you then borrowed Greedo's tenner and did the same as part of the same routine. The net result was unanimously agreed to be the worst effect ever. I bet if I gave you a quid you'd somehow burn my house down with it.

Can't say it wasn't worth a try :D

I guess that for that price, you're going to be doing a full AFF course to level 8?

Have you looked at training through static line jumps? Not as exciting I as AFF I know but alot cheaper. The initial training is usually around £200 and then you can jump for about £30 a time. Once you've got so many static line jumps under your belt you can move on to freefall delays and finally proper freefall. It works out quite a bit cheaper that way.

Also how about doing it for charity, there are lots of charities that'll pay for your static line training if you can raise a certain amount and I'm sure people on here are more likely to sponsor you if it's for charity.

hehe, money magic can often go awry.....

I remember the first time I attempted healed and sealed in which you restore an opened and emptied and crushed soda can to it's original state, open it, and drink the new soda inside it......


I ended up spraying everything within 5 ft with soda by mistake :lol:

lucky I tried it over the sink first :D

Why on Earth would anyone want to jump out of a perfectly good aeroplane? :shock: Anyway, aren't short haul flights frowned upon these days? :lol:

Exactly - you'd just have to wait longer for your luggage to come round on the carousel thingy.....

Oh, i dunno, maybe your luggage could get to your destination first.
Would probably arrive damaged though.

Chucking objects out of a plane to see if they survive does sound like fun, though. Let's start with David Blaine. :lol:
