Saw it on the news yesterday Mind you, I did chuckle when his mate came running up and asked 'dude, are you OK?' What do you think Captain Obvious, I've just fallen from a plane and hit the ground at 80mph, of course i'm fine i'm just having a breather before I go again. Retard. Oh pants, i'm too weak for sarcasm and foaming at the mouth. 'No'

You lucky, lucky bastard!

Cheers,
James
