With all the kit out to be tried, I wish I was in the UK.... any rich
philanthropic millionaires gonna stump up a ticket over for me?

Maybe I'll make it over in a few years once my degree is finished and I can
start earing money.

HUmm,

That's a bit beyond come and try

If you ask Frank nicely he can probably arrange
somting for after though.

This year (IIRC)Pete did a stripdown demo in the
afternoon though I know someone did a "This is how you rig to dive"
demo but I can't remember who. Nigel demo'd to me on Sunday morning
but that was really more of 'calm the paranoid buddy down' kind of
thing.

As mentioned down there somewhere, I'd like to try different ways of
mounting a pony (backmount/side slung) and I'd also love to try a
BP/Wing/Twins. That way I'll get an idea of what I'm going to spend the
"theoretical future money" on...

I will be bringing no more than a bog standard Stab Jacket & Single 12l!

Well I shall be bringing a DIR-style 12 ltr twinset rig, a 7l aluminium
stage bottle and - best of all - a DPV! Anyone fancy a wiz around Stoney on
my DPV?

Should make toit IB, bringing either a 15l & sideslung 3l,
or, if I carry on o/c (unlikely atm) a 12l twinset & backplate

It is a possibilty that it could be my last o/c dive before turning to the
yellow side

Remember Stoney isn't a fairground bumper car ring, don't ram others unless
they ram you first... or at least don;t ram others unless you have an alibi.

Hmmm, now I'm scared, as far as I know we have never met but you seem to
have the measure of me.

My significant other has banned me from going to the supermarket with her
due to trolley rage, apparently leaving small kids behind me crying is not
the thing to do...

Thats why 24 hour Tesco was invented! Go out to the pub, have a good night
out, get drunk, get back, go to Tesco! Usually one person sat bored on a
till, lots of shelf stackers, and then lots of similarly drunk students!
:O)
Not that i'd be drink-driving a trolley of course... :O\
