Look Phoenix. So far you have come to PPRuNe and got up some BA pilots noses ending in a girly hair pulling fest:

We've just had a nice girly hair pulling fest here ourselves. Try not to turn these two events into a trend line...
I once had a student - a mature businessman - who suddenly got the aviation bug. Whirly probably remembers him. Complete pain in the backside with a lot of cash, a lot of distractions and not much aptitude. He too spent an inordinant amount of time pontificating about just which flash £££,£££ aircraft he was going to buy for his business travels.
He too knew next to nothing about self flown business travel or could tell a Cessna from a Piper at 20 paces. Last I heard he had bought a right nail and had made some fairly major infractions on an impossibly ambitious flight to Schipol. He was a walking liability with a pile of cash.
He was also very difficult to train. Hated this or that instructor for no apparent reason, didn't like doing this or that exercise, was bored with this or that lecture. Took him ages to qualify and he whinged all the way whilst fellow coursemates sailed on making good progress from steady application under the same instructors in the same aircraft. I caught him cheating with a GPS unit on navexs for an example of his attitude.
Phoenix - I am not rearing my head as I never ducked it away. You can ask me to stop replying and flounce off if you want to but I may take no notice. You are precious and quick to fire off the insults and take aggrievance believing people are calling you a liar. I'm not dodging the facts of the weather on your day - you sent me the details and I found it was really difficult to check historical weather records. Thats all - thought it might have been easy to do but its not.
The fact remains that I, personally, DO NOT BELIEVE that your FI sent you off on an early solo navex whilst cheerfully admiring the huge local CB's. Its not credible.
My instructions to students were always intended to be a model of clarity. Nevertheless its a suprisingly difficult skill and the ability for a student to interpret an instruction in a new and suprising way is almost boundless.
