It is aye. All you basically do is shuffle to the door of the plane and tuck your legs under the door, cross your arms over your chest and put your head back. Then he pushes you both out and you start to hurtle down. He lets the tiny chute go which just helps to balance you both then he taps your shoulder and you then let your arms go out by your side. I had a video dont so then I was waving at the camera and high fiving the camera man etc Mental man. Then sank through could and he opens the chute. You just dangle there and he does all the steering. As you come to land you just need to lift your legs so his takes the impact. Not to it on your side really! Well, apart from the falling at 120mph bit...

As per the "wheeee" sticky above, thanks to those who sponsored me for the skydive which I done today. Raised £855 towards the Evening Chronicle Sunshine fund. It was fucking brilliant! Jumped out (tandem jump) at 12,000ft. The clouds were at 6,000ft. Free fall at 120mph for 50 seconds, 6,000 ft so you go through the clouds and then open the canopy. Done a few spins etc freefalling. Breathtaking stuff like. After that the glide down was a breeze, a few spins again etc. That bit took about 5mins, but it was the free fall that made it for me. Surreal to say the least, jumping out and just.. falling. Quickly. Face first (you are strapped to his front so as you drop, you're on bottom). So, another thing "ticked off the list". If you're ever considering doing one of these, do it. DO IT! Seriously something you have to experience.

I'll stick this here, and one for the heath professionals here. So, as standard, I had a health check at the docs. routine thing they do. Bloods, weight, pressure blah blah. So, I get mine all done, good weight, slightly elevated BMR due to gym so thats fine, good Blood Pressure. Piss test fine. Bloods I get a letter a few days later as planned "can you please make an appointment to discuss the results of your recent blood test". So, to you health professionals. What you write is "we'd like to discuss this with you". What us mere mortals read "Jesus, you best get in here and talk about this. Dont book next years holiday". So that was today. Of course, what she wanted to tell me was my "bad" cholesterol had gone down since 2010 and my "good" cholesterol up. All in all she said 10/10 and a gold star Great, but just tell me in me fucking letter next time!

No surprise on the SD advertising but its a bit stupid them saying that after commenting how poor commercial income was... Also cups not being a priority I can never get my head around. At all.

Im paying full whack at the min, which is stupid. When the PS4 comes I was thinking of seeing what Netflicks type thing it has and maybe using that plus freeview. Maybe changing to BT Vision or something.

No, do buy them when they hit rock bottom, then sell them much later in the game after they climb back up

Yeah Im pretty much just after LifeInvader. Just chosen my team for the Heist and Im going to buy some shares which Ive not done yet. The whole story arc is pretty good, enjoying it. Though the photographer bit at the back of the house and the young lass seemed to go on a bit longer than necessary

Sad isnt it. Wish the big yin the best he can hope for. Was the first comedian I considered a "fave" from when I first saw him. Kinda grew up with him and as I aged and so did my appreciation of my surroundings, as did his and I enjoyed some of this travel shows. Observational humour at its best.

I said if all goes well and he gathers momentum he could do ok for them but as soon as the wheels wobble it would be like watching a car crash. Looks like that car crash has come early and is happening in slow motion. Shame.

+1 Good solid win yesterday. We look much more balanced with that system. My biggest fear is when the injuries / suspensions start to hit. That is what will stunt our season.

Hearing from friends I have down there that some of our fans, pissed, shouting abuse at random shoppers in Lichfield. It's embarrassing :/ shame some people can't handle a pint and be In public.

Stuck my order in for 64gb 5S. Keep getting tempted by android but never enough to change. Really like the iPhone but can't stand iTunes.
