Having met G-SXTY I can assure you that he is as eloquent in life as he is in the post. An excellent post G-SXTY and one worthy of the Pprune archive.
Hope all goes well in the big smoke and I have been meaning to e-mail you for a while - I am knee deep in ATPL stuff here and it is as hard as everyone said it would be. If I come back for chrimbo I will definitely meet up to give you the low down.
Good luck with the PPL - I am sure that you will get it with your HIGH skills!!!!
As an amendum - I would agree with the post re aptitudes as as valuable as they are how do you go about destroying a dream because of a few tests. Imagine what we would have done during the war if we would only have taken 'excellent aptitude flyers'. It's amazing what the human body can get up to.
