Honestly just reading the questions gives me a headache.
Someone mentioned having to read exam questions back then, very carefully. I do remember being tripped up like this and felt it was unnecessary. The questions were hard enough. What were they testing you on anyway, your maths or reading ability?
no wonder I got bad results, my paper was marked by the lady that made the puddings!!

I may have mentioned it before…….just finishing Richard Van Emdens book Tommys Ark. About animals in the First World War.
Its the only book Ive read that I didnt want it to finish. Every page is a true revelation….wonderful tales amongst so much hell.
If someone gets prompted to read it from this I would love to know if you enjoyed it half as much as me.
Filling in these types of forms is a nightmare.many just give up.
Immigrants/ and the like seem to breeze through these seemingly insurmountable problems………..how do they do it??? someone is helping them and I wish I knew who they are as I might ask them for help myself!

What did it say on the front of the crane cab……….Klootils Krap????????

It was a Wednesday I think…..anyway…check before you go !
Is the Gannet still there ???
I find stuff like this slightly amusing…………..american takes on a situation using the subject as a vehicle for the acting “ability” of the “star” performers.
I just wish that we were able somehow to say things like…………..
Pause the tape there….as that would never happen in a real world situation.
I have only watched a bit of i so far, and it is so appalling I must watch more !
There was a bit when conc was on short finals……….why is it doing split arsed turns on finals ?
All of a sudden there’s a balloon at 50 ft half way down the runway ??
Where ATC asleep ?…did nobody notice the balloon drifting into the most busy runway in the south of england or wherever ??
Can’t wait for more american garbage.
This is a rant against being fed films like against this purporting to be “real world” and NOT to be a criticism of American film making.
