  4. Been having terrible trouble with Learnpads, getting to the point at which I'm regretting the school acquiring them. SNAFU. There's an issue many of them have accessing Accelerated Reader from Renaissance Place, since March 2017, and Avantis Support have been unable to help. We've only got email support, so responses are slow, but there's no way we're going to pay for premium support. Also got issues with units not charging, even when connected to a wall charger. Tried both USB and Pin charger types with no joy. This is today's email on this issue...... " the devices that do not appear to be charging from either micro USB or barrel pin chargers; if you have attempted to charge using both these methods for at least four hours and the device still fails to power on, I am unable to offer any further troubleshooting advice. Due to model and age of the devices with reported difficulties, it is no longer possible to complete repairs. We would however be pleased to provide you with special pricing for our latest LearnPad Workbook device, if you are interested." What!? More Learnpad devices that won't work! NFW!

  12. weather puns are a breeze, every cloud has a silver lining.
  13. I've snow idea. Maybe just drift along until all hail breaks loose.

  15. Mrs Claus: Is it still snowing? Mr Claus: No, its Reign Deer.
  16. That's it! Time to plough through the snow puns...
  17. Got to take our Cub Pack to a carol service on the village green tonight, not looking forward to the cold. Hopefully the mulled wine (only imbibed after the Cubs are out of my care), soup, warm mince pies and sausage rolls will keep me warm.
  18. I'm no expert, but I'd advise going to a couple of retailers and play the instruments, as the feel of them playing can differ greatly. You may find you prefer a particular neck shape or a high/low action or weight might be important to you. Then there's the tone differences from alternative body materials. It's really a try and see scenario. As for brands, pretty much any manufacturer of guitars will have bass products. Here's just a few... Gibson (USA made) own Epiphone (Indonesia/Far East) Fender (USA Made) own Squier (Indonesia/Far East) Yamaha Ibanez Dean HTH
  19. I'm going to order myself an electric guitar kit, Les Paul shape. It will probably take me all year just to paint and varnish, but looking forward to it.
  20. Must show this to my kids, they'll be dragging out their Brio set to re-create this. Thanks for sharing
  21. All our policies have to be ratified by the Governors before being 'published' on the shared area. Staff are then informed of them and are asked to make themselves aware of the content of the policy. Two policies that are signed annually by staff is our IT AUP and Staff Code of Conduct for ICT.
  22. Please no! I can't palate anymore
  23. I'm just filling in time, changing my cap to a crown.
