I won, it hasn't been disputed by anybody and therefore is a legally binding contract for the delivery of my new computer lab! Hurry up, get shipping Dave!

 

(Please don't remove my name from the entries, pretty please)

[ICTDirect_Dave]

Sorry Sorry! I put a quick video together last night, but didn't have time to upload it.

 

Belated congratulations to our winner.

 

 

Also, apologies for the festive music making the video all creepy

You seem to have spelt my name wrong? It's a fix I tell you!

Grumble grumble....

I haven't posted a clip from "Galavant" for months. Does include a coarse colloquialism for "bottom".

 

[DJ-1701]

Could you please post the link for this, youtube nocookie inline videos don't work for me and I can't see the source for some reason. Thanks.

You could've taken your win for your current place. It was your choice

 

Couple of days left everybody!

 

Get your final entries in before we do the final two draws on Friday

I like you guys, working with you lot makes for a much more interesting job that I would otherwise have ended up with

Probably about the only time "I'm not just wasting around on the internet, boss! It's networking!" can be taken as a valid excuse

Correct! I made sure Edugeek got written into my job description

[DJ-1701]

Can I apply for head of colouring in? I must warn you I don't stay within the lines.

 

So @ICTDirect_Dave... did I get the job?

I put your name forwards, but it was vetoed by @Boredguy.

 

Seems you do too much around the place to simply be allowed to leave.

I plead the 5th

Might as well throw my hat into the ring - my work PC is a Fujitsu Primergy. Well past 4 years old & OOW, i3, upgraded the RAM to the maximum 8GB & installed a 250GB SSD. This is the oldest workstation in the school, all other admin & curriculum PC's have been replaced with new Dell's over the last 4 years. OK for running a Hyper-V VM and 2 screens, but more Robin Reliant than Usain Bolt (does that comparison work?).

 

Do I need a HP monster workstation? Of course not. Do I want one? Why the hell not! It's not often that school's get freebies (especially from respected suppliers & Edugeek sponsors) but if it's up for grabs for a well deserving school, then we're in!

 

Disclaimer - we're definitely not as deserving as others, but then we aren't as flush as some. We're just a bog standard middleish size primary doing our best on ever diminishing budgets like every one else.

 

Seeing as humour's a bit lacking in this post, here's my favourite Christmas cracker joke:

 

Q - What did the Mexican fireman call his 2 sons?

 

A - Jose, and ...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A- Hose B!

 

 

I'll get me coat.

I, also, have been kept busy by actual work, which has upset me greatly, and I've decided I've had enough of it, so: hurrah! To celebrate, here is a picture of Foulkes the Phoenix

 

 

You'll all sleep sweetly tonight!

 

As to what I win, uh, well, the Geforce 580 that Dave offered me sounds nice, but turns out my PSU is only a 380W Antec, so maybe not! I shall have a think and a ponder

Last day for the weekly prizes... I better not post anything or someone who hasn't seen this thread might enter and win...
