Celebratory mini-bash tonight!
Aerbabe and I are going out for a meal tonight to celebrate my passing my FI test yesterday. If anyone would like to join us, be at the main entrance to the car park on Market Street in Llangollen at 7pm; I will wear my garish Gatbash badge saying "Whirlybird". PM me if you want further details/directions. Apologies for the short notice, and taking up bandwidth with this; it'll be deleted tomorrow.

Nice one Whirly. Very well done indeed.
Llangollen is such a great place, I have spent lots of time at the chain bridge hotel there in days gone by, also enjoyed the music festivals in the past.
Have a great time tonight, you deserve it.

Well done Whirly - I know you've worked hard for this (with just a little bit of playing hard thrown in for good measure, of course).
Now, if I ever have the desire (and cash) to take egg-whisk lessons I promise to look you up...

LownSlow,
Now come on - did you REALLY think we'd be up at that hour?
We waited, but unsurprisingly it was just the two of us. We had a meal, then drove home and drank wine and stroked cats and prooned...fairly normal evening really. I woke up this morning and realised I'd had enough rest to go from exhaustion to relief to euphoria....I'M A HELICOPTER INSTRUCTOR!!!!
OK, after that totally untypical outburst I promise to settle down and be quiet and sane and serious, as befits my new status.

Whirly Well Done, Whirly!!!
Sorry I didn't make it to the Mini-Bash at LlanGollyWog! I have memories of camping there at a canoeing weekend - there was heavy overnight frost and my trunks were hung on one of the tent guyropes to dry. They were frozen solid, so had to warm them under the armpit to get them flexible enough to put on! I think the screams as they got put on were enough to waken the inhabiitants of Welshpool!
