Landing is not as scarey as you might imagine - the worst bit is the pressure change affecting your ears, usually the cabin staff hand out boiled sweets, which can help to 'pop' your ears & equalise the pressure.

Funny thing - I don't like heights, but looking down out of a plane doesn't seem the same as, say, off the edge of a cliff - you'll love it

I fully agree there, Just got back from crete and the view from 36,000 feet is pretty cool when the sun rises below you and the alps peak out from a thick blanket of cloud.

My phobias, Spiders and Dams.

Dams dunnoi why, I just cant walk across them, but can go over them in a car.
Strange. But I also know a bloke who is petrified of toilet cisterns.

I actually get a painful headache when up at the top of a tall building, ive been told its a stress headache due to fear
I remember trying to go on a very high up water slide in Ibiza (anybody who has been to the waterpark by the airport will know wich one im talking about), I got halfway up and then had to walk back down like a total wuss, the staircase scared me more than the slide

Actually, on reflection, a clown carrying a snake and offering Oxtail soup does sound like a sequence from a horror film..
