ha ha! indeed the car curse -

HOWS THAT SHINY NEW TOYOTA COROLLA WORKING OUT FOR YA??? :ok:

Hi everyone

I'm on the 6th Sept course too and am really excited about getting started!! This time next week, eh?! I've kept an eye on pprune for ages but have only just got around to registering now - all info has been fantastic so thanks!

I'm B&Bing it for the first wee while on Westby Rd tho I haven't been down to visit. I'm told Bournemouth's a fab place to live and that the reason there are so many failed controllers is cos the pubs and clubs are so good!!

See you in the New Place bar Sunday night...

Kate :D :D

Kate..
are you the infamous Kate, Mr C from HIAL has been telling me about? hee hee... oh the stories if you are! :O :cool:

(only kidding)
see ya next week all.... 18:44 thats = to what, 2 pints by now?

C

Good luck to you all. Know two of the course from our happy flying days on the sunny Scottish Islands :cool: - you deserve the chance and I really ( :ok: ) look forward to training some of you on Tay Sector if you end up in God's Own Country :E

So, when's the next party ..... and we can come down on the ryanair and Taceval you .... ?

No no no .. not Jumpin Jacks .... :}

i scratched it! not happy... :{

PH-UKU,

TacEval's are allowed as long as you bring down the warrior and take us flying!!

Jumping Jacks...intrigued - dodgy night club to be visited once then consigned to the bin (i wonder???)

:ok:

Jumpin Jacks is a very cheesy night club by Bournemouth Pier.

so to be avoided then???

sticky floors and all that!

:ok:

didn't see that there...
saw hot rocks restaurant (nice foooood! yummy) and the IMAX place with the red panda and KFC and the usual holiday maker food.... hmmm
in fact apart from pubs, cant remember seeing any clubs.... i see an exploration evening needing to be planned....

Talking of dodgy clubs, If anyone remembers Berlins i've been told it now has a Pole for dodgy ladies to dance around!!! :rolleyes:

had my best nights out in bournemouth at Berlins. Nice and cheap and always seem to get in free.
Can't wait to start now. Am spending saturday night in bournemouth, staying at a mates house. If anyone wants to meet up for a pre sunday drink send us a message. will be spending sunday looking for somewhere to stay for the week after. does anyone know whether we start getting accomodationn money starting this coming weekend or the weekend after? would be nice to have somewhere to dump all my stuff while we're at New Place.
also the curse had better not be right - i just bought a car (not brand new though):bored: :uhoh:

Jumpin Jaks dodgy? surely not...Haven't been there for a while, Toko and Walkabout seem to be the place of choice at the moment, at least for the area courses.

Accomodation expenses (WAP) has to be claimed through expenses forms (no receipts necessary) and usually takes about 5 says to come through (forms collected each Wednesday at college). As far as I know you can still claim an advance against WAP payments, and then write this off against a future WAP claim...if that makes sense?

Hello everyone,

Boy was my day visit to Bournemouth eventful. Went looking at a few places to rent which were, well lets be honest, you wouldn't let your worst enemy stay there and they wanted 75 sheets a week:yuk: ! Think Im going to B&B it for now til I find somewhere suitable or meet up with a few on the course to share etc.

And... having only had my car for a week, a woman in a 4x4 with bull bars decided not to use her brakes at the roundabout and pile into the back of me!:ugh: :{ how unlucky?!!

Still, she accepted the blame but its the hassle of getting it in for repair now! Just hope my time as a TATC is trouble free!

Only 3 days to go.....yippee:E :ok:

Oh oh! THE CURSE STRIKES BACK!
Hope your ok mate.
see ya sunday
C

Anybody still looking for accommodation??!! If people would like to share or can reccommend a B&B, please PM me!:ok: :E

I got into a lovely place in Christchurch. The name and contact number were on the list the college sent out, on the first page if I remember correctly. The name was 'Michael Dewey'. I visited last Thursday and got myself a lovely en-suite room, off road parking and only 5-10 minutes from the college. They had another two rooms available last week so if you give them a call I'm sure you'll get something sorted. They are on holiday unitl the 3rd so you may not get through until then.

If you want any more info, PM me :)

Guys

My final post on this board!

Leaving tomorrow at 6.30am to drive down, see you all on Sunday.

Chris - see you at the pad!

TFB

2 days and counting.....................:ok: :E

Well, I've just arrived at New Place after a 36 hour journey (darn Seacat! :mad: ). I'm just taking advantage of the BT Openzone internet access before I go to bed, I'd go to the bar to see you all but I'm too tired!

New Place is a nice setting, I can't wait until tomorrow.

Good luck!:)

Well

Hows day one folks?

Enjoying it?

Scared?

Excited?
