Vremenarji so nam dali resno opozorilo, da je jutri kar 60% verjetnost da bo snežilo. Če bo promet ohromel, ne bom s svojo navajenostjo na slovenski sneg nič na boljšem, ker bom obtičal v zamašku z vsemi ostalimi, odvisno od »zimske službe« (dajem narekovaje, ker ne vem, če jo sploh majo) in da na govorimo [...]

Za tole novico sem slišal na jutranjem programu BBC Radio 1, še posebej sem navil ušesa, ko so omenili, da je fant iz zgodbe doma iz “našega” konca, v mojem primeru je to Haverfordwest, v grofiji Pembrokeshire v Walesu. Članek sem opazil tudi na RTVSLO.SI in nekateri komentarji so govorilo teh Američanih oz. Angležih. Pa [...]

The Slovene edition of Playboy issued a great article in rememberence of our dear pilot Som and our Fata (to know more about this please read the following articles: article 1: »Fata« and »Som« have left us; article 2: A great tragedy). The Playboy article was written by Sabina Mali, Miss Hawaiian Tropic 2007 and [...]

Is this one of the same old P2P service that will be taken down or bought over by the ever desperate and notoriously backward sighted music industry. Well, maybe not, if it is true what their (Qtrax) website states. From midnight US EST or for us folks in Europe @ 6am on Tuesday, 28th of [...]

I unintentionally received a lot of hits due to the posting of the two articles regarding the plane accident on January 11 2008. The blog post was published in the Drugisvet.com blog website and subsequently got a lot of hits also from my fellow skydiver’s website Black Betty. Luckily the site did not get that [...]

As usual some of the media outlets are taking a completely wrong ignorant spin on this genuine and sad tragedy. Slovenia lost a great pilot Viktor Bečan (a.k.a. “Som“). My sincere condolences go to his family. My hopes for a quick recovery go to the surviving co-pilot Savo Medved Photo on left featuring the “Som” [...]

I must sadly inform you that the Antonov-2 airplane (we lovingly called “Fata”) from which I learned how to skydive and did many jumps, the most recent ones in September 2007, crashed in the mountains near Trbovlje at about 1pm local time. Even sader is the fact that at this very moment the pilot is [...]

After being back in Slovenia for only three days I have to go back. Not that there is some urgent business I have to attend to but that is just all the time I had available during the Christmas/NewYear holidays. Tomorrow I have to be back at work where I already have appointments waiting. And [...]
