that sounds positive mate, bit more patience and I reckon you'll get there. Right pain in the arse, but yep like you say, gives you the chance to hit the slopes and you've got to love that! What's the aim this year? Inverted 360's?

Steve, what's going on with your visa then? Still held up? Have fun in the alps dude.
Yeah, what is happening with your visa, Steve?

Pacey, that B list movie you were in the other night was "overall-not-so-impressive" either! What WERE you thinking

I know, I know - favourite films

Mine (in no particular order, fairly tame choices but can watch them over and over again for the sheer power of the acting; only three to start with)

Raging Bull
Apocalyse Now
Brokeback Mountain (recent addition)

Am I turning this thread into scene from High Fidelity

B-Movie? Those were the days. Things are getting a bit more desperate now, only really getting XXX offers at the moment. But I've still got it..

fave movies? oh no! i can't choose stuff like that, it fluctuates. Sometimes it might be something like the notebook, the next minute it'll be kindergarten cop... (although looking at that, "cheesy" is the overalll trend!)

Hi there...I'm a newbie loner...

I'm currently a 2nd yr student studying mining engineering at CSM in Cornwall, I'm flying out to Oz in the summer to spend a year working in various mines in the western desert.

The details are very sketchy atm but I'm fairly sure I'll be based in Perth most of the time. Will be on a decent salary so am looking forward to exploring and getting up to plenty of mischief while I'm out there.
