  1. I have no idea!! I just thought I'd cheer you up by replying to your post
  2. Health & Safety & Political Correctness test - Yep that's ok
  3. Can we have our ball back mister?
  4. My favourite Evidence of leak on right main landing gear. Evidence removed.
  5. After reading this I'm tempted to use gripe sheets in school - purely for my own amusement According to the story, after every Qantas Airlines flight (other airlines, and military sources are suggested instead also) the pilots complete a a 'gripe sheet' report, which conveys to the ground crew engineers any mechanical problems on the aircraft during the flight. The engineer reads the form, corrects the problem, then writes details of action taken on the lower section of the form for the pilot to review before the next flight. It is clear from the examples below that ground crew engineers have a keen sense of humour - these are supposedly real extracts from gripe forms completed by pilots with the solution responses by the engineers. Incidentally, Qantas has the best safety record of all the world's major airlines. (1 = The problem logged by the pilot.) (2 = The solution and action taken by the mechanics.) Left inside main tire almost needs replacement. Almost replaced left inside main tire. Test flight OK, except auto-land very rough. Auto-land not installed on this aircraft. Something loose in cockpit. Something tightened in cockpit. Dead bugs on windshield. Live bugs on back-order. Autopilot in altitude-hold mode produces a 200 feet per minute descent. Cannot reproduce problem on ground. Evidence of leak on right main landing gear. Evidence removed. DME volume unbelievably loud. DME volume set to more believable level. Friction locks cause throttle levers to stick. That's what they're there for. IFF inoperative. IFF always inoperative in OFF mode. Suspected crack in windshield. Suspect you're right. Number 3 engine missing. Engine found on right wing after brief search. Aircraft handles funny. Aircraft warned to straighten up, fly right, and be serious. Target radar hums. Reprogrammed target radar with lyrics. Mouse in cockpit. Cat installed. Noise coming from under instrument panel. Sounds like a midget pounding on something with a hammer. Took hammer away from midget.
  6. Dolphin media did our Hall. They managed to use the stage lighting rig to mount the projector which keeps it safe from the PE Dept I don't have the cost to hand but PM me if you are interested.
  7. Using Moodle with Apache, Php, MySQL on a Windows box. Most staff here are still finding their feet with it, but next term will see a big drive to use it as we will have a teacher with expertise on hand to teach the teachers. The only drawback so far is the lack of a decent link to Sims Data.
  8. 1 - India 2 - Other english speaking commonwealth country 3 - UK based helpdesk
  9. Just over a 1000
  10. It's not a lot of money to achieve everything on our development plan and pay our isp etc. I've spent more in past years

    Salesmen

    I have a large list of suppliers I contact early in the year to get quotes and order from. If it's an on-speck call from a sales rep I either give a wrong email addy or if they sound promising the correct address and have a look a what they offer. If I don't like them they go into the junk filter and the receptionist adds them to the blacklist
  13. Stone Computers - have a nice one with a 802.11n capable card ready for our planned wireless upgrade next year
  14. .. and probably the last!!! Muahahahaha
  15. Application Forms attached and downloadable from http://www.suttcold.bham.sch.uk/Downloads/Documents/Application_Form.pdf Sorry but the pdf file was playing silly buggers
  16. A copy of the Job Spec and Personal Spec is attached. Application Forms are attached to the next post
  17. Ours seems to work fine in IE7, but it is read from our web server and users access it via link on our Intranet. Sorry - not much help - any error messages at all?
  18. If you can't see the car beforehand - walk away and look for another - the too good to miss bargins are usually the dodgy ones.
  19. OK Calm down! You didn't actually say how many users were involved nor what your email system was. (No need for this language) (I merely pointed out that I was not a mind reader )
  20. Excuse me if this sounds daft but why can't you create additional email accounts and have them forward any mail to the shared email account?
  21. Puts trousers back on
  22. Create a second email addy and forward it to the original - Dirty but should work
  23. Actually you advised our bursar who cocked it up so the Head gave it to me But thanks anyway Git!!
  24. The Salary has been amended - the rates given were for term time only, the correct rate now shown is for all year employment. (Don't you just love Bursars? )
