Conratulations, Dave! What a relief, eh? Now you can really enjoy that last month without feeling guilty or worried.

I suppose the thing to do, work wise, is, now that NX have paid for your qualification, to save up a grand as quickly as possible to buy yourself out and find a Company that's recruiting qualified PCV drivers at a higher rate! :rock:

You know where I am when you want to share your amazement and disbelief about what the travelling public get up to!

Off to Brooklands tomorrow so I'll say hallo to Echo Papa for you ;)

Ian :)

Well done on the exam Dave :excited:

If you can drive any type of bus all that'll make you a Universal Serial Bus Driver and you can put USB after your name :lol:

Thanks for that Ian. I'd considered investing a grand to get out of NX but I still have to take the practicals yet. :worried: Please do say hello to PEP for me. The troops will make a fuss as per :thumbsup:

Ah yes Garry.. a Universal Serial Bus driver. I can do that already :lol:

Tks Brian. I guess it does seem like it was a breeze but there were many hours of reading involved beforehand. This time yesterday, I hated everything to do with buses and public transport with a vengeance. The thought of reading one more passage nearly drove me to drink! :guinn: Still.. that's done with now. Two practical tests left and the training that goes before them but at least I'll be paid :thumbsup:
EDIT..
Thanks for that Eddie and Ben too ;) Rgr on the rudder.. I expected as much ;) Expect to see some Stryker shots as I know someone not very far from you who took delivery of one this very day! :rock:

You guy's kill me sometimes :lol: Cheers George ;)

I'm not sure Dale's wife would be keen on him buying a Streaker. I'm not sure she'll be keen on him buying a Stryker either! :worried:

:lol: :lol:

I've fitted the new servo arm on the Wildcat. Wonder if I can make my own cowl out of a plastic bottle *-) :worried:

Least said.. soon is mended ;) Alison missed the battery charger turning up. She's seen it on the floor but it's just another bit of my junk as far as she's concerned :lol: She DID see today's package turn up but thankfully, it was only the adaptor lead so I can charge the P51 battery up from it ;)

I say nowt to the missus. She says nowt to me.

The house is over run with handbags, shoes and dresses collected from over 10 years worth of obsessive shopping.

I reckon I could wangle another twenty planes at least. :lol: :lol:

Although joking apart the garage is getting too full now. :wasntme:
