Well done
As a side line, when I did my solo in gliding, the first thing pressed into my hand was a 2 litre beer pot full to the brim. Once it touched your lip there it had to stay until it was empty. This was done for two reasons. Firstly, it prevented everyone else having to relive your moment in detail or hear it again and again after different people asked you about it. It also prevented the usual, "there I was at 1500 feet with nothing but 55 knots on the clock". The second reason was a little more mercenary......If the pot/glass left your lip before it was emplty, you had to by a round for everyone present..............I bought the round and then bored everyone stupid with "there I was at 1500..........................."

I'd have been hoping he was good with a knife.
