In the sprit of trying new things I think I may have gone a little OTT. Yesterday I jumped out of a plane!
Okay, I was attached to a very nice man from New Zealand called Russell (is it the law that all men from New Zealand are called Russell?) and he had a parachute but it was still jolly scary, exciting, amazing and just about every other adjective.
I can see how it might be quite addictive because as soon as I got down I wanted to do it again! However this is not a practical hobby so I’ll probably try stamp collecting or knitting instead.
Anyway I’m sure I will bore everyone with the photos and the DVD (yes, I decided to have the whole thing filmed!) so I won’t go into too much detail but suffice to say I would recommend anyone who has a chance to do it. Okay, so probably more scenic coming down on a parachute looking at Mount Meru and Kili than say an airfield in Milton Keynes but I ssupect no matter where the location it’s FABULOUS!
[...] I will get round to blogging about the holiday but just wanted to blog about the FABULOUS live Honda ad on Channel 4 last night. Honestly the most exciting bit of British TV I’ve seen in ages. It takes a lot for this marketing-bollocks weary person to get even remotely interested in ads but Channel 4 came up with a cracking idea and Honda were brave to run with it. Probably also helped that it was sky diving which is guaranteed to make me jump up and down like a small child going “again, again!” [...]
