[Tangled up in Blue]

Think that's a Richard Argent print isn't it? He's a good local artist that does histories of towns & football teams http://www.argentart.co.uk/

I got a record player, Yo La Tengo vinyl, some Murakami books, Walking Dead compendium and Kelly Reichardt Blu-ray boxset. :thumbsup:

Cheers Drastic.:thumbsup:Put my SZ Apprentice winnings to good use.:happy:

My mum got me a 5 pack of socks with days of the week on them - the odd thing is there are 3 pairs of 'Friday' and 2 pairs of 'Thursday'.

She knows you probably only change your socks twice a week!!

iPad mini from the lovely wife ... Hence me being back on here more often from now! Sorry!

I got a torch from my mum. I already have 4 torches and I'm pretty sure at least one of them was a previous present. Probably get another one next year.

You really are the light of her life.

Star Wars Vans, a couple of tops, beer, a few books and some Zloty. A decent haul really, for a grown up.

Thanks for the info. Looking forward to it immensely. It's with a company called Flying Pig and they use an R22 Robinson with dual controls. Should be a fun day out

Where? Not Elstree?

It is indeed Elstree Aerodrome, which is where my plane is based!

R22s are great little helicopters. I have a feeling you're going to really enjoy the experience.

If you're serious about making a day of it, could I suggest The Battle Axes for lunch? There is a café/restaurant at the aerodrome, but I'm not sure the food will be anywhere near as good. The Battle Axes is about a 60 second drive from the aerodrome, and if you sit outside you'll probably be able to see to planes coming in to land over the school the other side of the road. That's assuming they're using runway 26, which is in use about 90% of the time. (Obviously having lunch on the aerodrome would give you the best view though.)

There is also The Fisheries, but that is further away. We took the boys there for lunch a few weeks ago, and it wasn't up to its evening meal standards, although that could be because of the xmas parties and having a much reduced menu. (However, as I pointed out to my wife, there simply is no excuse for serving me a roasted parsnip soup that tasted of water!)

Whatever you decide, have a great time, and if you need any further advice, feel free to ask.
