The satisfied feeling you get when something most people find incredibly difficult takes you less than an hour and requires no adjustment whatsoever on first fitting.
In other words, worship me bike people. :Lol:

Tomorrow marks the end of yet another chapter in British aviation as the last airworthy BAC 1-11 is due to make its final flight from Boscombe Down. The BAC 1-11 was not only the most successful British airliner ever sold, but was also the last to be 100% designed and built in Britain. They were constructed at Hurn Airport near Bournemouth from 1963-1982.

But good news: the owners, QinetiQ, have kindly donated the aircraft to the Classic Air Force museum in Cornwall, so although she will never take flight again, the airframe will be kept under cover and preserved in fully operational condition for fast taxi runs!

Things girlfriend impressed by:
- My being able to cook rather good spag and meatballs last night
- Teasmade
- Me being awake enough to help her revise at 0645 this morning
- Offers of moral support

Things girlfriend less impressed by on morning of first exam:
- Concurrent yawning and farting

Despite the pros outweighing the cons there, she's kicked me out of bed.

Biblical noise is biblical. There are more tunnels/bridges nearby than I thought.
