Slightly off topic..

Why in the name of holy righteous **** did you sky dive nude?

Weellll......I will admit that there WAS a weee bit of alcohol involved (in the planning, not the execution!) & it seemed like a good idea at the time. Once the hangovers subsided, no-one was going to chicken-out, so it we did it. A Nudie 10-way.

Stacked-up in the door just prior to exit, I had my head stuck into the shaved & pierced box of the madam of a Sydney knock-shop. She could've washed.... :icon_vomit: On the way down, I discovered that her $6000-worth of plastic tits do NOT move at-all in freefall!!

I've got the whole thing on DVD if you want to see it when you're up here (it's HEAVILY edited to save identification of those involved...).

Why did I do it? Well, I look at it this way:

1. Skydiving is the best fun you can have with your clothes-on.
2. It's GOTTA be the 2nd best fun you can have with your clothes off

egad!

 

[Whiteferret]

Soooo we've also got naked skiing to look forward to on the day. You did say it could be cold Martin.

 

[DJ_L3ThAL]

What's a knock shop?

 

[Yob]

a shop full of door bells?

Or a shop full of belles...

 

[AJ80]

Gents,

Nude skydiving aside, an updated PM regarding food has been sent out. If there are any other volunteers keen to chip please post below and I'll add you to the PM. Particularly looking for a few salads to go with the spit, a stack of bread & breakfast the next morning.

 

[Yob]

I'll chip in a couple of kilo of bacon for the brekkie...

 

[DJ_L3ThAL]

I could do a salad I reckon!

 

[AJ80]

Cheers guys, will add you both to the food PM.

A colleague of mine is a very keen sky diver (just got back from the US where she was part of a record breaking group formation dive) and she suggested that movement of tadger and tackle is rumoured to cause great discomfort for male divers au naturel.

 

[MartinOC]

Yeah, Manticle. There's certainly a lot of wibbly-wobbly stuff, but I don't remember a great deal of discomfort (it was 20 years ago!).

Anyway, back to the planning:

Just in case the weather is bad, does anyone have access to large tents/Marquees/Gazebo's etc. for housing the food & beers? There'll only limited space in the brewery once the big rig etc. goes in, so I'd like to get the other bits & pieces away from the immediate area so we're not all crowded-in.

It didn't freeze solid, I promise. Note to self: a) Press pwr button when setting STC temp, b) Check temp after setting

 

[Mardoo]

I have a 3x3 meter one. Not very big but it's something.

 

[MartinOC]

That's great, Mardoo. It'll definitely get used.

Anyone else? I think Poggor said somewhere in the dim, dark past that he's got one?

 

[idzy]

Yeah, Manticle. There's certainly a lot of wibbly-wobbly stuff, but I don't remember a great deal of discomfort (it was 20 years ago!).

I believe I should have some large tarps in stock, ropes, poles, etc. Will check and get back to you. Is it possible to PM a shot of the area to get a bit of an idea of layout?

 

[Curly79]

I should be able to get a couple of pop up shelters

 

[MartinOC]

Curly, what do they look like & how big?
