Weekend?

[Mich the Tester]

I checked the urban dictionary and my profanisaurus to no avail.

I think it might be a term invented by gricerboy and his chums.

Anyway, have you found out what a 'Knickerbocker Glory' is yet?

I have done similar research to Zippy, also to no avail. I suspect this particular practice is confined solely to gricer's imagination. At least he's got a name for it.

Oh. Paddy? This is for you:

Lucky you, I'm sure you'll enjoy it, a good way to get over your fears.

As for me, relaxing and taking it easy. Maybe some cooking.

Thanks Nor. I seriously suspect I will hate it (until afterwards). I hope Mr Pilot Man doesn't mind me shouting my own newly created swearwords.

You'll love it. It feels much more like flying than being in a big plane, if that makes sense.

I'm off to the airshow in Southport.

Come on then, tell us what you're up to this weekend?


I have just been told I'm having a flying lesson tomorrow - bought as a 'surprise' for me. A surprise indeed, as I hate being a passenger in a proper, big commercial aircraft, let alone having to be in control of some flying tincan.

WOW! I've got my first flying lesson tomorrow and I've been told I've got to take a passenger.

I'm bricking it!

That's what I'm scared of.

When I flew to Oz, I was quite nervous on boarding, but tried to keep a lid on it as per. As we buckled up, my ex was trying to talk some sense into me, as the nice air stewardess lady came round doing her pre-flight checks. She noticed my pale, sweaty face, and bent down to ask if I was Ok. I mumbled that I wasn't, but would be fine, and she insisted on kneeling down to try to talk me round. Mortifying. She kept pressing me on why I felt so worried, until I was forced to spell out to her that her logic wasn't going to work on my ever vivid imagination.

I tried to quietly explain to her that the problem was, I could vividly imagine a fireball ripping up the middle of the plane, people being whipped away through holes in the side of the plane, and the rest of us hurtling down to our deaths. I think I scared the kid in front of us quite badly.

I took some gliding lessons a couple of years ago. Brilliant stuff. Then along came the credit crunchie bollox and I couldn't afford it for a while. Am busy rebuilding warchest; hopefully start again next summer.

Then back to Devon via Bournemouth on sunday (so that Mrs SB can have (yet another) teary farewell. )

(so that Mrs SB can have (yet another) teary farewell. )

Does she always break into tears when you ...?
