WWW, if your idea of a good newspaper is The Times I will have to start worrying about you! I read it today and I couldn't believe what a terrible paper it is now that it is a tabloid.
You need to be saved me thinks.
So is Sports flying cheaper? Don't you have to get a PPL first? Get real WWW you have to start somewhere. Like where you and I started, well not me I paid for ALL my flying, I think the Queen helped you a fair bit did she not. Or is that a rumour? Btw I spent many years doing sport flying and it did cost an arm and a leg.
Get of the horse and get some encouragement going for the guys who are trying VERY hard to achieve the same dream you and I got. Don't knock 'em - that is not what you of all people should be doing.
