    Right then here we go. Brought up in a working class family, Father was Welsh, he came over in the depression. He wanted me too learn welsh language but I decided not too. Glad I wanted too be English in England, and not partly Welsh.
    Went too School, didn’t learn much, left school. Started work in a tv and radio shop, went too tech college. Learned how too repair Electrical goods, including tv’s. Left after 5 years and went too work for big tv rental company, repairing tv’s in homes. Very stressfull job, left that and went too work for a division of the same company, that dealt with tv servicing in hotels.That lasted for some time, and I really enjoyed that , hotel staff were great and it was a cushy job.
    Then I became a bench engineer working on tv’s, sat receivers and videos. Where I am now is a secret, but it’s good fun. 🙂

    And they report that the education standards are being raised year on year… an ever-growing number of candidates obtain A-C grades at GCSE level, and ever more A-grades are achieved at A-Level etc… presumably none of those people find their way into the BBC?

    At least it shows that someone realised that the plural of “body” is irregular, and is not simply obtained by adding an “s” at the end 😉

    Shame they didn’t get it right bodies

    You could also include in the refresher course a section about correct thread titles to make the search option more easy. ‘Crash today’ and ‘What is this?’ are a waste of time to the search option and busy viewers who may not have time to look at every post! 😀 Try to think like a newspaper reporter and get a catchy title which will explain the subject of the thread and make a viewer open it. 😉

    Yes all noted, so did you like , Your Dreams or my life? and if not what changes do I need too make? 🙂

    Gary, half of the people who post here wouldn’t know the correct use of an apostrophe if it hit them between the eyes.

    I saw a sci-fi program where they had satellites in orbit with massive photo voltaic cells which collected the sunlight and “fired” it at collectors on the ground. Was wondering if one of you rocket scientists out there can tell me if this is practical.

    Ali

    now there’s a good idea, only limited by ones willingness too do some R&D too develop this idea. Surely this is the way forward… 😉

    Ok then, now an interesting weird experience happened in my early years, I was probably about 7 or 8 at the time.
    This experience would normally happen when I were ill with a cold or flu.
    I would be asleep, then be woken by a loud noise in my head, a sort of buzzing noise. Feeling frightened, opening my Eyes in the dark Bedroom I became aware of some pretty awful looking staring faces. They had round emotionless Eyes, there were probably 4 too 5 faces , can’t remember exactly. Even though the room was dark I could easily see those faces, they seemed stationary looking directly at me, from the opposite wall. If that was not enough though, I sensed a very strong feeling of threat , I could only take so much of that before I jumped out of bed and ran for the door, screaming my head off. Needless too say my parents were quite shocked too see me in that state. They eventually managed too calm me down, and I had no further problems that night. This happened quite a few times, until for no reason at all it just stopped. One final point , during during the day I would sometimes notice at the corner of my vision a dark shape which seemed too be following me, when I turned too get a better view it vanished. I also felt that threatening sensation, it wasn’t always there, just sometimes. Glad too say that also went suddenly one day, and havn’t seen anything since. Lastly I gave those faces a name calling them funny men, but they were far from funny.
