Discussion
I've been somewhere between distraught and sobbing and down in the dumps since the death of my beloved mother two weeks ago, for whom I had been caring for the last three years. Today I went to the supermarket for the first time since she passed, wondering what on earth I should buy as I've barely been eating.
Anyway to get to the point. When I got back to my car, who should I find parked up behind me? None other than Jerry. By the time I'd loaded the car and returned my trolley, Kerry saunters back to his Jetmobile, and despite him being on the phone I tapped him on the shoulder and congratulated him on the success of his YouTube channel. As a lapsed PPL, aviation runs through my veins and I've been watching his channel since before he became well known.
He thanked me and asked if I wanted a sticker - "I'd love one!", I said. And then I realised I was actually smiling for the first time since mum died. Thank you very much Jerry! Note to self. Don't take selfies. You're way too old and it makes your schnozz look huge!

Really sorry to hear about your mum and thanks for posting that tale, it's quite heartening to hear something nice these days especially one that cheered someone up a bit. Anyway to get to the point.

Jerry's like the Murray Walker of plane spotting commentary. He might get it wrong at times but his enthusiasm for the subject being discussed it what makes it entertaining.
LP you got it in one. Rather than him go bats
t at some landings that a BBC 'expert' type who knows SFA The enjoyment and pleasure ooze out of him
Lunar think of all the good times, the pain will subside, but the memories will remain ,and will make you smile at the most odd moments.
Have an internet cuddle from me ( if that is still allowed by the pc brigade)
