Yeah I was, I learnt that big hill, beer, taking my shirt off and a mountain board was not a winning combination!

 

[streetboy]

Sounds dead posh that.
Well if we're bigging it up I'm a Vehicle Body Repair Technition. (doing my NVQ Lv 3 this year so will soon be able to tack on PAS 125 Compliant on the front of my occupation )

Unfortunatly though I work in a small bodyshop so have to do some of boring paint fairy stuff as well.

Hi ProfessorWheeto, short for 'Panel basher' :lol: !! I guess your young and enthusiastic about the job? give it up while you have time lad!! :lol:
Seriuously, I have just completed my ATA, three days of sheer murder to achieve. I saw some good beaters fold up under the pressure. Even the instructors said it is way, way over the top. :shock:
We are going PAS125 right now and when its up and running fully its going to be a nightmare. I don't think our lot quite understand the full implications of it. Its a volume workshop run on bonus, get em in and get em out, things are going to slow down quite a bit. The only good thing is it gives a bit of power back to the workshop staff

No, 30 years of it from small shops, restoration firms and the big franchise groups has taken its toll, next stop is out for me.

Now if I had my own workshop and a yard full of bays that might just keep an old dog going

Im just a student... :roll:

 

[faux]

Well, I thought I should post up on here.

I was a teacher for 6 years teaching 11 to 16 then Reception then year 6........a bit of variety never hurt anyone :mrgreen: The opportunity came about to focus on just one area of the Curriculum, the much loathed 'PE', so I thought I could change the way it is being taught. So I now train teachers in 56 schools how to deliver PE without putting kids off for life........

Run round the field twice, in shorts and a T shirt in the snow!!!!! :roll:

Lets play rounders...2 teams of 20, sit there and wait for your turn to miss the ball, "well done Claire, nice daisy chain" :|

:mrgreen:

[mjknight71]

I am a SEN LSA Working in a local primary school, i work with children in the 4 to 8 age range with various different learning needs. Crap pay but great holidays (which i dont get paid for), it has to be the best job i have ever had, i look foward to going to work in the mornings. No its not because most of the theachers are young ladies in their 20's, but it does help .

I've done some work with the SEN team out of Taunton..........do you go to the Somerset Dyslexia Association meetings :?: Missed out on a ticket to Sue Gathercole's session coming up soon.......Memory....don't you just love it :mrgreen: I seem to remember (no pud intended) Somerset was doing some interesting stuff with small kids and reading using thier LSA's...do you do the intensive reading package (cannot remember the name...memory ) at your place?...if so respect...my knowledge of split-digraphs, phoneme blends and even syllabales is awful :shock: ...and as for spoonerisms......Lohn Jennon would turn in his grave :!:


I am amazed how many body shop tecnitions/technicions/techntions .....are on here.............does the choice of vehicle go with the job :lol:

 

[Monster966]

I'm chief edjit :mrgreen: One of 4 partners running a rapid prototyping & modelmaking business. Sounds great but I don't get enough time to play with all the wonderful toys we have & the stress levels are in all honesty just a bit too high.
