QUOTE(barry-clari @ Nov 6 2011, 10:22 AM)  ... I had three physics teachers : none were able to make me any better at the subject. Couldn't understand much of it at all, eventually lost interest and wanted shot of it and all the other sciences as soon as possible... Sometimes people are late bloomers - I did very badly in my first computer science courses, but many years on now I do it for a living... But it's true, sometimes people just aren't good or interested in a particular subject and no amount of teaching is going to change that. That would be me and all of biology, history, and literature. |

I just managed to get through it before starting an enginering degree (Motorsport). OK, OK I did it for the cars .... .... 1 term in I admitted defeat, started my business and went back to playing the clarinet and piano (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) In that time I found: 1. I'm not a scientist, I hated it at school and to force yourself to do something is silly. 2. I love music and want to progress with that. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I hated science at school, now look at me, degrees ending Sc. and a job involving lots of maths (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) So what you're saying is that there's hope for me yet... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) yep (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) QUOTE(barry-clari @ Nov 6 2011, 12:25 PM) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/yay.gif) how exciting Barry (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) ironing or clari practice? mmm, decisions, decisions! |

I bought a birthday present for my Dad who is 68 later this month. He has been instructed not to open it early when he gets it in the post.

I'm sure we no longer get post delivered everyday. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) There are a couple of days each week when everyone in our block of flats gets post and on other days no-one gets any (but I'm not sure that it's regular days). (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) I'm waiting for something that was posted first class on Thursday and there was no post at all on Saturday or today. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mellow.gif)
