SVA PASS TODAY !!!!!
Hi all

sorry to intrude but just have to tell the world
Cheers for any advice you may have given no matter how humble . The guy at Nottingham was an absolute star and if anybody wants any tips please ask

Congratulations, best feeling in the world, like everybodys says, take it steady for the first few hundred miles!
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

Well done that man.
Beware of the Goldfish in the tulip mines. The ONLY defence against them is smoking peanut butter sandwiches.
