Good Angling Advice

[Richard Huggett 1]

I was going to quote you all something educational.....but after reading that little lot I feel my cultured time would be wasted.








And anyway....who is 'Meg' ???? Should I have met her ??

 

[Richard Huggett 1]

OK you win...I'll give you culture.


Hope is like a lighthouse keeper's beam
Hope the master cobbler of our dreams
For Hope believes in desert streams
The mightiest of stars
The microcosm in a jar
Vast or small they all revolve on Hope

Hope the guardian angel of the dove
Hope a gift of guidance from above
For Hope is the heart in mother's love
No plans could be conceived
No ships could fare the seas
For there would be no courage were it not for Hope

Now the path before us lies before our very eyes
Don't you see
And it leads up to the gateway
Lead me through
Don't you see

Then come and take my hand
Raise up your head
And dry your eyes
For up ahead I see
A ray of peace
A-shining on me

So let us feel Hope
And feel the sunrise in our minds
To give Hope is to enlighten all mankind
Ah but lose Hope and life seems black as blind
When faith gives way to fear
When motivation disappears
All is lost if one abandons Hope
All is lost
If one abandons Hope

I apologise to all.

We do have some fine poets and linguists on this site.

But what of The Monk?

Surely, He, has some wisdom to espouse?

 

[ED (The ORIGINAL and REAL one)]

Meg is a Ruffe Slapper of ill repute

It was Meg who the following Limerick was written about:

There was a young girl from the Azores
Who's .....
Eerrrrrrm I think we'd better forget that one .......
(but sores and drawers come into it)

 

[Ron Troversial Clay]

I told you Ed, not to mention dirty Limericks.

We still have not heard from Brother Nicholas. Where is he?

 

[Iceman]

Don't touch wild garlic then eat your sarnies ....... oh shit!!!

 

[Graham Whatmore]

Ron,
What evil deeds has the Monk been up to, to warrant such poetic verse? Its as though everyone knows his 'habits'

The reason he hasn't responded is probably because he's hatching some fiendish plot against we that have offended him.


Look out! below.

 

[Richard Huggett 1]

Knowing his habits is one thing Graham...it's what's under his habit that worries me !!!











And what he does with it.....

 

[The Monk]

sorry guys, busy as hell at the moment, my company have just enrolled me on another bloody night school course, the ECDL, anyone done it? (as if I havent got enough bits of paper)

as for any evil, I rarely get time these days

 

[ED (The ORIGINAL and REAL one)]

and ECDL stands for what ?

 

[Ron Troversial Clay]

What does ECDL mean?

Anyone got any ideas?

 

[Baldrick]

European and Continental Driving Licence.
Nothing to do with cars of course.
It's a course in I.T.
easy peasy monk.

A chance to blow me own trumpet, which don't come too often.

Usually you start of with clait for beginers, that's just the name of the course.
You then do IBT 1 and then go on to IBT 2.

IBT = Information Business Technology
I then did IBT 3. When I completed that I was going to do E.C.D.L. but was told that I would be taking a step back.
So ECDL lies in between IBT 2 and 3.

If you fail the first time don't worry as you are shown where you have failed and you get to do it again. But you are on a time limit.

Basicly it's being able to manipulate spreadsheets, Database, Word documents, saving folders, transfering data and graphical use of data.
If you need any help, I still have my books from colledge, which you can borrow.
it's easy to follow format step by step instructions.
An excellent book is by Angela Bessant called -: Learning to use OFFICE 97 for clait and IBT 2 price ?12.50 from any good book shop, This book also uses the same format for the final exam.

I can remember as a 10 or 12 year old kid getting invited fly fishing with my dad and uncle on the Exe, in Devon.

After the usual boy's ham-fisted attempts at catching, I saw a trout in the middle of the river and cast and cast at it with no response.

My uncle came along, saw me and shrugged: "Buyh, if you can see them, they can see you."

 

[Baz]

The hardest part for me was that I was sat along side two women that obviousely knew what they were doing and were typing away on the keyboard like a couple of macinegun fanatics.
Irritating bandy legged bitches, I could have flattened them as I couldn't keep my concentration in what I was doing. I had to move in the far corner in the end to get away from them.
And one of them was also rattling a mint imperial around her chops as well.
As you know it isn't my usual kind of work and I was only doing it for my own enjoyment. I enjoyed the course though and would recomend it to anyone.

 

[Richard Huggett 1]

By heck....the Monk does have some funny habits.



ECDL.....must be a joke there somewhere ????

 

[ED (The ORIGINAL and REAL one)]

I saw it advertised (I thought it was about driving licences)and didn't go in for it because of the name
Stupid thing to call it!!
Might give it a go in Sept.

 

[Baz]

The name its self put people off doing it Ed. But that's all it is, a name and nothing else.
If you have done IBT 1 & 2 that's all it is only a little more intense, with the addition of storing folders and useing the intranet, ( sending a message to your tutor?)and copying and saving messages.

 

[clicktochange]

ECDL stands for European Computer Driving Licence - I kid you not. No, I havent got one - dont need it really. I just have to teach it!

 

[Baz]

They must have changed it then clicky.
As I remember it, there was great confusement amongst the tutors when it first came out, "about" three years ago. None of them seemed to know what would be entailed, never mind called.
