Spending my evenings in the bar with the kids being entertained, and a cold beer in my hand. The joys of being on holiday!

    I do like getting the all clear from the doctor further to a cancer scare.  Still got lots of problems in my life but at least now I've (hopefully) got a lot of time to deal with them.

  • I do like finally finishing a model kit I first started 5 and a half years ago.  It's a very special model that i was supposed to finish by the time the aircraft took her final flights across the UK

Taking 89photos in 4mins with mates phone because he fell asleep drunk lol (did this last night)

Covers that are better than the originals!

Beer, beer and more beer.

Seeing a Hero in a Focus ST225 jump a motorway barrier this morning, between m4 and m25, missed BOTH lanes and went straight through the middle bits and jumped it, complete write off. HEROIC stuff well done, extinction is calling for you sir.

Hahaha, I wish there was a video! That sounds brilliant and hilarious!

3 nights of work including this one until im on a 2 week holiday :D

Driving down the motorway in a convoy of Mondeo. Two black 09 plates, 2.0 litres and me and another 57 grey 1.8 diesels lol.

Just all four of us ticking down the road in a line. Was actually a really good feeling lol

Not as expensive as you think mate a will pm you bud

I know someone who's just completed a modular course at OAA for this, training alone incl accomodation cost his parents 90 grand, he started in October 2012, and is just about to start his type rating (He'll be flying Easyjet A319's/A320's), although he will officially start flying commercially in Sept/Oct time.

Not bad salary though, £36,000 starting and £200 a day just for being on "Stand-by" ...... lol £200 for sitting around doing !Removed! all sounds pretty sweet to me.

Parents should have looked for cheaper accommodation :lol:.

Standby sounds good, however as my dad has told me many times (retired captain), it soon wears off, you sit around all day feeling like you're sort of at work, but not quite, then they call you with about 20 mins left until your standby ends and you have to get ready and go off TO work, which is quite grating.

Or other occasions you ring up and find out there are about 4 more pilots ahead of you on standby, so you reckon you've got good chances of not being called (that's going to be 4 on duty pilots 'sick' and then 4 standby pilots unavailable, before its you), so you go out somewhere, only to get a call and have to mad dash it.

Dad loved flying back in the day. He said he wouldn't enjoy it anymore with the amount of extra rules and regs; although he says they're not a bad thing, they just take away the enjoyment side of things a bit more. Pilots are now somewhat treated like **** in certain airlines.

My cousin is a captain out in dubai, he's sort of enjoying it, but he's a cynical bloke anyway, so when he moans it's nothing new! haha

Good luck mate

My daughter finished hers last month was certainly a tense few weeks in the run up to deadline day. She's got her dissertation mark already and it's a first so just waiting final course mark now. She's already got herself a job till she decides what to do next

Thanks mate. Wow - a first! Congrats to her, she must have worked her socks off to achieve that, it definitely does require some dedication. What subject did she study?

I was originally on track for a first, but recently had quite literally the hardest exam for a module ever, it will be a miracle if I can keep my first average. :rolleyes: On a more positive note, at least I already have a grad job lined up.

One more GCSE to go!! After tomorrow morning, I'll have three months of summer holidays, 3 trips abroad and my 26th birthday in a week. Should be fun!! :D

Cheesing off our next door neighbour - since planning came through in our favour he's had his nose put out of joint, doing stuff to cheese him off is hugely satisfying :d

Sport & Exercise science. She wrote her dissertation at the last minute lots of late nights and caffeine drinks lol. Others on the course had been writing for 6 months and got lower marks. She can't believe it to be honest.

Productive lunchtimes...

I just went out and in an hour, replaced the earth bolt, put my DRL's into place to see how they work, and also removed my EGR blanking plate.

I have a date on monday with a terraclean centre!

On the other hand, I dont like that now my EGR blanking plate is off, my exhaust smells of rotting fish!

On the I do like front though, I do like my new secret project!

I know GCSE's are stressful, but I didn't realise they added 10 years :blink:

;)

Hmmm - mysterious ??!!?? :d

And it'd only slightly illegal... Well... Depending on where and when...

I believe it's not illegal if you shout surprise...

Ummmm..... Haha I think lol

No need to shout surprise, its probably not even that great a project, but I'm enjoying it so far.
