Good news, One. I am alive! Cheesy

Secondly, by the end of next year, I should be a qualified Private Pilot.

One of the math teachers in a Flight Instructor, he got permission to start a Flight corse, and $2000 for it, it's fairly cheap.

Two term class, runs the full Australian Pilot show, theroy and practical.

I'm so happy! Cheesy

We haven't spoken true English since your Harry got the point by a Norman archer... Cry
Sadly, the Spanish language is slowly winning over here... in subsequent generations the majority of U.K. and U.S. residents may have more than a spelling difference.
