  1. It's actually safer ditching in a helicopter. The pilots use autorotation to make a controlled landing. This is where they turn into the wind and tilt the blades and use the wind to make the landing. It's very effective. At the end of the day there's been shit loads of helicopter ditchings where everyone survived. Very few with airplanes though. As for the RGIT course. You realise these guys turn up for these courses stinking of drink, pay no attention at all and complain cos they have to do the course every 4 years. Which is nowhere near enough if you ask me. I'm an offshore survival instructor myself and I have to say sometimes it's like talking to a brick wall. The reason they all made it into the raft was probably down to the pilots.
  2. I myself am a PADI Divemaster and can also teach underwater photography. If you like I'll do your course cheaper than any dive centre. Also if you decide to do your rescue course give me a shout and I'll do your first aid for you before you star again at a cut price. Hope I've been some help. If you've any questions about diving gimme a shout I've been in the industry for years and would have no problems giving some advice (don't believe everything you're told by dive centre staff, remember there salesman at the end of the day).
  3. My mate Claire plays cello. She plays with Miyagi and Black Diamond Express. I'll send her an e-mail and see if she's interested if you like. You can check out her work on both those bands Myspace pages.
  4. Woke up on my mates couch with a serious come down then spent an hour laughing at him cos he had to run the baker hughes. Went home drank beer and watched the usual Sunday morning shite on the telly. Back round to my mates to see if he was still alive. He was but had sore kidneys. Drank more beer,laughed at my mate and watched Britains Got Talent. Went home made and made dinner,drank more beer watched Walk The Line and fell asleep on the couch. Typical Sunday really.
  5. Awright pal! I've got a bass lying about I could let ye have for 100. Plays well enough, it's a Fender and it's red. That's about all I can remember at the moment. If you're interested pm me and you can come round and check it out for yourself.

  8. I have had this before. I had a cold and got on a flight and couldn't get my ears to sort themselves out for a week. I now work as a diver and have had problems with my ears now and again over the years and my advice would be loads of sudafed. Don't go pouring anything in your ears you'll only make it worse and don't try holding your nose and popping your ears cos you'll probably end up damaging your eardrum.
  9. I met Ozzy Osborne at Bankok airport a few years back. I just stood their with my mouth wide open and said "You're Ozzy Osborne!" to which he replied "Yeah, I know!" and then wandered off. I felt like such a dick. If I wasn't so star struck I would have got him to sign my passport or something.
  10. I'm a proffesional diver. Just spent the last 8 months in Thailand but soon to be back in Aberdeen working for RGIT Montrose as a safety diver for all you North Sea tigers doing your survival courses ( Is everyone in Aberdeen working for the oil & gas industry?) and yes I do have my dream job!

  14. The delay and the wah are gone. The fretless might be gone this afternoon. Everything else is still up for grabs. I've also got a marshall amp up for sale check out my other post.
  15. I have a black Ibanez Soundgear for sale-100 Comes with hardcase and I'll throw in a new set of strings as well. I'll pm you my phone number and you can give me a call if you're interested.
  16. Thought I had this sold but it fell through at the last minute. Check out the Marshall website for more info. The amp is in good condition. My mates been using it for the past couple of years and he's only a bedroom guitarist. I think this amp was only used for a few gigs back in the day. There's no footswitch with it. I'm looking for 230. If you're interested pm me.
  17. Like I said I know fuck all about violins but my mates just told me there's a bit missing. some sort of wooden bridge that raises the strings or something. But he reckons it's pretty easy and inexpensive to replace. So if you're interested pm me and you can come and check it out.
  18. I'm leaving the country for good at the end of the month and have some gear I need to get rid of. Everything must go so all prices are negotiable. Ibanez Soundgear 4-String Bass - 100 It's black and in good condition. I'll even throw in a hard case and strap. Ventura 4-String Fretless Bass - 40 It's red and in good condition. Not exactly a top of the line bass but it sounds good and would be a good buy for anyone who is interested in playing a fretless. Jim Dunlop Cry Baby Bass Wah - 40 In good condition. An excellant wah pedal. Boss Bass Flanger - 15 A bit scratched but it still works. Rak Delay - 10 Again a bit beat up but still works. Korg CA-20 Guitar Tuner - 15 Good condition. Good tuner. Trace Elliot Boxer 15 Bass Practice Amp - 40 Good condition. Ideal for practicing at home. Violin I know fuck all about violins and can't even remember how it came to be in my possesion. It looks like it's in good condition but there's no bow for it. I'll say 30. All this Equipment has been sitting up a loft for the past two years and I won't get a chance to give it a good once over until tonight. So keep an eye on this thread and I'll post any changes. If you're interested in any of this equipment pm me and I'll get back to you as soon as. If you want more than one item I'm sure i could knock a bit off. The Ibanez, practice amp and tuner would be perfect for someone looking to learn and I could let that lot go for 130. So what are you waiting for? Come and buy!
  19. My mate has a spare ticket for the Biffy Clyro gig (standing). It's going for the same price he paid for it-16-50. If you want it phone me on 07790117219.
  20. I have one standing biffy ticket if anyone's looking for one!
  21. This is the best thread ever. Personally I don't eat vegetables so it's nothing but meat for me. I fuckin love pig in any form. Definately my favourite animal. I especially love gammon steaks with chicken foetus on top. Chicken wrapped in bacon is pretty good too. As for cow. I reckon T-bone is the best but can never seem to find it. Fuck knows why! Fish is probably my second favourite animal. Swordfish steaks are the shit. You can't beat raw salmon either. Not to big on sheep but haggis is the nuts. Also any type of pudding (white,red,black). If you like your meat deep fried go to Hass's chip shop. You can get chicken stuffed with white pudding, wrapped in bacon and deep fried in batter. Excellant! I'm getting hungry now. Think it's time for a pig sandwich.
  22. Check out Peacock Visual Arts. I know they run courses. Probably get more info on their website.
