I've just watched this lunatic jump off a baloon from 128,000 feet up - wow!

I think he was attempting to sneak into Andy's port cellar from above. I can't imagine why else he would have wanted to do such a thing!

Only this morning I invited him to my house to drink seven bottles of Real Vinicola 1983. I'm sure he could have thought of an easier way to avoid accepting

Was prepared to fend him off with a shotgun. Luckily winds blew him to the east of my barrel.

Otherwise, what a complete idiot . I admire him for having the B***s to do this. I watched it live on the internet, WOW is all i can say.

fun to watch...but seeing the whole set-up and "mission control"-type hype, i can't help but have a sneaking admiration for the jumps that Kittinger did seemingly with far less fuss and technology over 50 years ago!

And without wanting to sound too much of a grumpy old man....is the "jump from space" moniker a bit of a hyperbole?

The answer would appear to be "yes". But you are not being as grumpy as some.

Though this did bring a smile to my face...
