Little flyer:
If your postings are anything to go by (and by that I mean your spelling, syntaxe and grammar are better than many three times your age on here), you will succeed in your aspirations.
May I commend to you the Flyer Forum (based on Flyer magazine)
http://forums.flyer.co.uk : there is a dedicated section for student pilots where you can read about people at all stages of their flying/learning careers.
It has a strictly no abuse/ no flaming policy (unlike pprune) and you will very likely be able to blag rides from Forumites and go to Fly-ins around the country and meet up.There are quite a few Forumites in Northern Ireland.
Caveat: you need to take Mr Fujiabounds posting elsewhere with a healthy pinch of salt.
Good luck, welcome to PPRuNe and keep posting.
