On a tv programme last night Vorderman announced she has always wanted to be a pilot, and will start learning this year.

Just think at last someone who can work out the 1 -60 rule while flying!

[kwachon]

1 degree at 60 miles equals one mile...ah I remember, now then back to the FMS......

[long final]

Time to book that seminar ...... ;)

['India-Mike]

Of course as a Cambridge engineering graduate she'll be able to correct us all that it's not really 1 in 60, but 1 in 57.3 - and be able to do the sums as well. I'd rather stick to T/L's...

I was going to start the thread with smutty inuendos but ended up deleting it all because i thought everyone would be very grown up and PC, BUGGER.


I should have known:*

[mad_jock]

I thought she was a chemical engineer like Maggie Thatcher.

The studio's oop north innit so it's probably going to be somewhere around the Leeds Bradford area but nowt guaranteed!

Let's start a pool on who gets to be her instructor. Everyone chuck a quid in and winner takes all. I'd have said a tenner but being darn sarf it probably ain't gonna be me. I'd have difficulty concentrating in any case so maybe a good move.

[ComJam]

As long as learns in something aerobatic, imagine the effects of a bit of negative in that outfit.........:}

[llanfairpg]

well she is hardly going to be training in this outfit.

of course not, she will be wearing a high viz jacket (even with those teeth)

She is rumoured to live near Bristol so she wont be doing her 'nowt' rating

[Rosanna]

May be she wants to fly with a female instructor :)
In my school we have two girls that want to fly only with me :p my male colleagues hate me :) :)

Ciao!!!

Rosanna

[llanfairpg]

Have you got short hair?

[Rosanna]

Short hair but something else quite enough ;)

or just a drink

Yea, I have met your sort before

[timzsta]

I wonder how she is going to pay for it? I would imagine she contacted a certain finance company that she did a tv add for.

"Well Carol what can we do for you?"

"I want to learn to fly but can't afford too"

"Well lets consolidate all your other loans in to one affordable monthly payment so as to free the capital to let you achieve your dream".

[foxmoth]

"I want to learn to fly but can't afford too"

Hardly think that will be a problem for Carol, she could probably afford to buy the school and have it to herself!

[llanfairpg]

or perhaps she will go to ICELAND
