Coupar is a Sprocker Spaniel living in Scotland. He had dog friendly homemade carrot cake with cottage cheese and peanut butter frosting (and his arthritis pain pill as his candle). He also had steak and veggies (with cheese tax). Can’t believe he’s 9 already!

Basically what the title says. Looking to get my partner a flying lesson as he has mentioned quite a few times now he’d love to have a go in one of those small aircraft you see going around sometimes. Just curious as it says the below:

“Your flight will be shared with up to one other participant, who will take it in turns with you to be an observer and pilot. You will swap roles when you land at a different location during the flight (subject to the airfield and weather conditions). Once you have completed your final landing, the instructor will end the day with a debriefing.”

Does this mean he’ll do it with another amateur like him or would it be a pilot doing it with him? If anyone has done it, I’d love to hear your thoughts. Link to it below

Thanks!

Found in Tesco today. Pringles Mini’s, back from the dead.

Edit: not sure why it says loo in the title and can’t change it now

VW Up! 2012 75bhp. Not long clocked 186,000miles, I’ve had it since it was on 12,500. Car broke down on Monday on my way to my Granda’s funeral no less (he was a mechanic for 60 years also). A jump start got it going so I went home to investigate. Ah! A completely snapped earth strap - that’ll do it!

Have to say, this car has done me so well the last 11 years of ownership. I’ve owned it since I was 18 and it has seen plenty, been ragged, not been ragged and it just keeps going. It’s due a major service as I’ve not done one in about 5 years. Timing was done 90k ago (maybe should do it again), it’s on its 2nd clutch, bit sticky going into first unless totally stopped or double-clutching. It’s had the flexi pipe replaced twice, CAT replaced once. Used to get 60mpg now lucky to get 40mpg. It absolutely guzzles oil but I really don’t care as it just keeps going.

New earth strap will be fitted tomorrow and it’ll be all fine again.

Anyone else have a similar car that just keeps going or fond memories of one such car?
