I am doing okay, two near misses.

One a young girl wanted to see her house. Looking down in a steep turn she got tunnel vision and nearly passed out, spent most of the way home gagging.
I kept looking out of the side window as everytime she wretched I dry wretched.
I got home with a very sore stomach from dry wretching and tears in my eyes.
I laugh now, however at the time I would rather have crashed than landed covered in vom.

Another was a young chap, wanted to know what it was like inside of the cloud and have some fun.
Danced around the Cu s for a bit. He did most of the flying and was rather good. (I just kept everything in balance) I suggested that he had great co-ordination and that he might like to be a pilot after his "A" levels.

At that point he went very green and didn't speak again.
I am unsure if it was the thought of doing "A" Levels, being a pilot, or watching me dry wretch in the RH seat that made him green.
