    Congrats, SkinnyDave! I'm glad you got the thumbs up. I've not been on the forums for a while - looks like I missed quite a bit. I'll be sitting stage 2 at the beginning of next week. (Sat Stage 1 in Bristol in September.) Good luck to everyone on the recruitment ladder!

    Thanks! And good luck to you, too - I assume you haven't heard anything back from Reading yet? (I am not stalking you, honest. I'm just trawling through this thread again and just read you'd switched from Bristol to Reading.)
