The new apprentice
So he does not have a stupid haircut, does not wear his trousers hanging
half way down his arse, can walk by lifting his feet off the ground and not shuffling, does not have an addiction to his mobile phone, can speak in more than grunts, turns up on time and understands what he is doing. Something is not right. -- Adam |

Something is not right. Probably one of the management checking up on how you treat an apprentice - trouble is they have no idea how to behave as one! |

My early apprentice days were a serious disappointment for me as most of the so called professionals spent more time taking the **** than they did setting me appropriate work and supervising.

Something is not right. Could this be my mate? Probably not, as he just started his, but it is gas that he is doing. He is 55 though, and after 30+ year with the police. |

No in my view its at University where things tend to go wrong. Common sense
is removed and you get radicalised. Brian -- ----- - This newsgroup posting comes to you directly from... The Sofa of Brian Gaff... Blind user, so no pictures please! "Graeme" wrote in message ...

Been trying to explain to some academics that students should clear up after themselves it's a difficult concept for them to grasp. They expect clean and unused protoboards but the week before they didn't remove the conmponents from then so the following week they were still on the board and therefore needed removing. So the reason their circuit wasn't working this week was because they had to first remove what they were doing last week. |
