I also think some Universities have Air cadet squadrons or something similar.

That is what I was referring to. You can go straight from the ATC into that when you go to Uni.
Several of the people who were in the ATC with my two kids went on to be pilots although one of them went into the Navy (Fleet Air Arm) as a helicopter pilot.
That is why I am telling him that the ATC is such a good way of getting on.

Its just a genralisation.In the lower ranks "ruperts" are often seen as the butt of the joke,and while respected in my corps they often get the micky taken out of then (and take it very well).Prehaps twat was the wrong word.It was 06.30am when i wrote that!

Ok fair enough. My ex worked with an RAF pilot in Saudi (teaching the Saudis on a simulator) who then became a QFI at Cranwell. I went to his wedding at Cranwell. He is the only one of the friends that we had that I really miss since the divorce. Great bloke and certainly one for a laugh.

So you had loads of friends you didn't actually like?
How well did you fake it for all the other people?

How you get that deduction is beyond me?

Ahem, let me explain;

You say you had 'friends', but only one did you really miss. BY mathematical deduction, one 'friend' from a plural 'group of friendS'. It computes that, since you do NOT miss any of the other 'friends', that either they were not real friends to you, or that you were not really a friend to them.

I don't know why I'm spelling it out for an adult woman, you girls are usually all over the social politics. Y'know, like on the soaps?

Thanks.

Do shut up 1066, there's a good idiot.

And from a previous thread some time ago and an exchange of pm's with Yorkie, it is more than probable that I was running the officers mess bar at that wedding!
