Obviously a multi-talented lady.
But if I hear of another person who is "passionate" about ANY b+@!^& thing, I'll slowly pull a nose hair. :rant:

There's an ad for Korean BBQ Pulled Pork Subs on the heading. Well I'm certainly not passionate about that! Has anybody else seen the news article about the South Korean dogs being bred for meat consumption by humans? The poor dogs are sold in street markets. Selected by customers, they are then slaughtered and butchered in front of them. Bloody Barbaric!!

Pulled pork? It could be pulled poodle for all you know.

I may have gone :OT: but I don't apologise for that.

Hi Peter,

I've had s few flight instructors of the female persuasion in my time.
Nicole was/is a pleasant instructor with a strong love of flight. She had a gig down at my local airport giving instruction to students of a specialty school of science in a Evektor sport. She offered to take me up one day, and let me tell you , I never turn down a chance to fly!

It's a nice little plane, I thought..

No argument there! I fear it may be a bit late for both of us to learn to fly but you rascal, you already know how. ;)

You sneak, Joe! I'll bet you weren't a student at the specialty science school!

btw, Den, the adverts that pop up often vary between visits, or at least visitors; many are targeted based on location, recent searches etc.
I've had personal experience of this, when I've looked at something on behalf of someone else, and hey presto! I get ads related to that topic.
Always makes me laugh when I look up something like "Hurricane tank buster cannon 1940s", and I get offers of " Top brands, best prices on Hurricane tank buster at Gumtree" etc.
Cheers, Mike.

I've just taken another look, and sure enough, the ad has been changed. But it was there! I'm sure Peter that you wouldn't deliberately post anything offensive.

Slightly off topic, but ads on websites and in apps on phones can get me slightly paranoid at times. I sometimes see things popping up in ads that I have only searched for one time on a different computer, even so they still think they need to sell me a Suzuki or whatever else they picked up from my browsing habits.

Back on topic, the lady has taken on an interesting venture. Teaching people to fly is always fun but combining it with aerial tours and running a vacation rental will certainly keep her busy! Sadly, I already know how to fly a Cessna... ;)

Purely coincidental? I've just been reading that Fred DeLuca, the co-founder of Subway, passed away yesterday.

:dunno:
