Zen Archer (Raconteur) Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 I have an interview for an Electrician Apprenticeship next week. It says I have to "complete a paper questionnaire and a practical test". What does this practical test consist of? It may be just to establish if you have decent eye to hand coordination, maybe ask you to wire a plug or something. Is the apprenticeship at Dens Park? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mynameisearl Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Anyone use a radio frequency thing for their car, the ones that allow you to connect your iPod to the car stereo?? If so are they any good?? Does that even make sense. Griffin iTrip Got one of these and it works very well, though find it works better if you have your ipod upside down. By that I mean I sit my ipod in one of the drinks holders next to the gearstick and if you have it sitting the right way up with the itrip in the bottom it gets affected by bumps on the road more. Does that make sense? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Not been for a while (a year) but it certainly never used to be a problem I havn't been in about a year either but it wasn't a problem then. I might head up to Castle Park on my day off, on Tuesday, now and hit a few balls. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good course there, mate's a member so I get to play quite cheaply. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stimpy Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 I need to get my blackberry repaired, will i need to bring anything with me to the shop when i bring it in? edit to add: it is still under warranty. When my blackberry died I took it to the virgin shop (who my contract is with) and they told me to phone the customer care number and arrange it with them. They sent me some bubble wrap, a box and a prepaid postage bag along with a description of what was wrong with the phone which I had to sign and put in the bag with my phone. I only sent the phone, no back, battery or memory card and I backed up everything on my phone to my computer then reset it to factory settings. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stimpy Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 the issue with mine is that the touchpad wont work so im hoping it can be fixed instore. That's what went wrong with mine as well, don't know about anywhere else but the virgin mobile guys wouldn't even look at it, just salesmen. My phone couldn't be fixed so they sent me a reconditioned one to replace it which I plugged into my computer and uploaded my backed up info on to it. Although it's reconditioned it is like a new phone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heading out of Gifford in that direction is lovely. On a clear day a walk in the Lammermuir hills is hard to beat. I used to go up the range quite a bit but I havn't been in ages. I was a member of Gifford itself so used to play there sometimes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got mine from carphonewarhouse with it being on O2 so i have twice as much chance of them being able to fix it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karpaty Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Is the law that anyone who looks under 25 in a supermarket must be ID'ed even if they're with someone well over 25, regardless if they're paying or not? I was in ASDA there with my dad and bought booze, I look well under 25 and wasn't ID'ed at all (I always am if buying myself). Yet yesterday the same scenario, the woman only ID'ed me because I was paying. I thought if alcohol was being bought, if anyone was looking under 25 with the person buying, they'd be ID'ed also. What's the script. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the script. There's been a few times where I'd have been sold booze no bother but as soon as my younger brother makes an appearance then the two of us need to be ID'ed which sucks seeing as I never have any on me. He'd show his showing he's 23 and I'm obviously well older than him but does that change their mind to see a little common sense? Noooooo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonksy+HisChristianParade Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 (edited) Why do people in Scotland (and all over the world) celebrate St.Patrick's Day? People continually asking me last night why I wasn't wearing green was quite annoying. Maybe it's because I'm not Irish and have no connection to Ireland whatsoever? I'd want to celebrate St.David's Day but no one seems up for that for some reason.
