I second Allan907, Pontius and others.

OK, so you want to do Aeronautical Engineering, not English Literature.

It makes no odds, in my book. Barnes Wallis was a brilliant aeronautical engineer, but if he hadn't been able to communicate his ideas, no-one would have been able to cut metal and build them - and Mona would have been some Friday night fling (or a satellite airfield near Valley), and not a dam that desperately needed a copious amount of high explosive detonated at precisely the right point to cause a rupture.

BEagle is going to come on here soon and make scathing comments about txt yoof. I wouldn't blame him.

Perhaps you also think that five minutes late is not very late? Start thinking plus/minus 2 seconds if you want to fly - and then, when you're 2 seconds out, resolve to do better next time.

BASICS.
