I HATE helicopters, you wouldn't get me in one for love nor money.

The thought of being in one brings me out in a cold sweat and I hate being around them.

I once refused to come out of the hospital when one was landing and they freak me out the second I hear them flying overhead.

Somehow we live in an area where the police helicopters train and at least once a month they'll be so low over the house you can see the face of the pilot which has literally had me in tears.

I blame the action films like Die Hard and a couple of choice episodes from E.R. as soon as you see the helicopter things never end well.

Though I will say it's not the helicopter itself that scares me, just the though of them loosing control and being sliced into a million pieces before being blown up.

And yes I'm well aware I need to get my self a grip!

Probably a military helicopter - same make/colouring. See https://www.flightradar24.com/ next time you get buzzed. The police helicopter is moving base from Staffordshire to Birmingham Airport. But that didn't stop one shining it's spotlight over Doxey Heights this morning. Maybe a Premiership footballer was being burgled - the price of living in a posh area

Also now going on helicopters. Paid a lot of money for a flight in one in RAF Cosford and foolishly thought it would go up nice and steady and upright , circle round nice and upright, and come down upright and be safely inside closed doors...... no, reality was we were strapped in but the doors were open (or not there in the first place) , we took off swirling round more or less lying sidewards, circled round in all positions, and finally swirled back to the ground most of the time lying clutching onto the seat and feeling so sick.Watched a TV program soon afterwards where the emergency rescue helicopter pilot said "all helicopter pilots in their life time can expect to crash , or have a near crash!" I'm niow always glad when any flying overhead have gone safely past me.

Son also got a phobia of bats after a fruit bat went inside his hoody in Chester Zoo bat house. The bat keeper fished it out and told him off for screaming and scaring the bats and also for eating jam scones before he went in, the bat was attracted to the scent of the jam after he'd put his hands in his pockets . We spent the whole car journey back home with him convinced he still had another one wriggling around inside his clothing.

A familiar scene . Poor dog :lol:

We had a bat in the house the other morning, don't know where he'd been hiding all night but suddenly appeared flying around the lounge . That was the 2nd time we've had one suddenly appear in the house when none of the windows or doors had been open that day . I was a bit louder than the person on the video though :D, and my screams were making the bat go crazier and crazier . Luckily hubby remained slightly calmer than me and eventually caught him in a towel this time when he landed on the floor , whilst I was bravely standing outside the open patio windows.

Son told me he isn't scared of them anymore when I told him about it, " You are just being silly mum, they won't hurt you!"....... It was different when I dropped him off later at his house and a bat flew into his face a couple of times as it was circling the lampposts outside his house . He was soon hopping around "Aaaarggghh!" :lol:
