Hampshire Hog - I know the feeling mate, a little gutted at times waiting for your first solo but hang on in there, it WILL come!
A few days ago, a couple of the poster's here gave me their MSN Messenger addresses, and we have had a good old natter. So if anyone else would like to do the same, and is currently using Messenger, then feel free to PM me with their details!
Cheers,
