Blimey! steady on lads! i was trying to say sorry, not start another argument. I respect any job regardless of it being fast jet pilot or road sweeper, they all have merits. I guess i didnt count on people being so touchy. Take it in the spirit it was meant.
Canberra - No i am not stupid, and guess i am looking in the wrong place for encouragment. Agreed my initial post was misplaced, but the dope on a rope comment was told to me by a sar pilot himself- i didnt realise the RAF had gone that PC.
Id rather ask daft questions and learn form the answers and my mistakes than not find out for myself at all.
