Harking back to previous employment BEFORE falling into EBME...

8A) ELECTRONIC DEVELOPMENT TEST ENGINEER - testing Special-to-Type Test Equipment for radar gear for Lynx (helicopter), Sea Harrier and Tornado F3 aircraft with Ferranti in Edinburgh (great job),

8B) TEST ENGINEER - production testing of Telecoms surveillance gear with Agilent at South Queensferry (at southern end of the Forth Railway Bridge). A bl##dy awful job with a bl##dy awful firm,

8C) A.T.E. SUPPORT ENGINEER on Electronic Warfare units for the Eurofighter with BAE Systems at Stanmore, North London.

At present, this is my 4th stint as an EBME engineer.

Now now Tony

It was my fault and I was out of order, I appologise in public to Mr Ling for this, to be fair to him he went as far as to say this was not required or wanted.

Thank you for that RJL

ebme was threatened with that course of action too because of me.

You know Tony in my defence I am from Hartlepool and have not been well lately, no excuse really, I have to live with my actions and the shame on a daily basis.

The following post ending contains material intented to be funny to the reader

just because on discharge from the MOD I was informed I could get away it, actually attempting such a thing nowadays can not be condoned my solicitor informs me.

Still learning

All I can say (as someone who follows this forum a fair bit) is that I've never noticed whatever it was you were supposed to have said to offend, DM.

I find that people in Modern Britain are all too ready to take offence in general. I my opinion, that's probably because, being too wrapped up in their own self-importance, they never take the time to consider the other fellow's point of view (it's always "what I want", "how I feel", etc.). A nation of wallys.

If people engage in conversations on a public forum, they must expect a bit of give and take. Without the banter, this site would be very dull indeed! Keep learning, Darren, you're one of the best, Mate. You see, as I don't come from Hartlepool, I've got nothing against monkeys (cheeky or otherwise)!

I do believe, however, that things have been said on this forum that would probably not be said face-to-face. That's the rule that I adopt myself (and I would recommend it to others):- if you've got the balls to say it directly to the guy if and when you meet him ... then fair enough, go ahead and post. But if you haven't, then keep your trap shut (or else you might regret it when you do meet)!

Personally, I doubt that I would be "terribly upset" (or "disgusted", to use a word much over-used by low-life, and in the media) by anything posted on this forum. But, that's probably because I don't have much of an ego, but am all in favour of simple traditional values like "do as be done by", and "live, and let live". Frankly, some people need to chill out and get a life (as my son, one of the Nintendo Generation, would no doubt advise).

Be humble ... but be happy!

...and back to the topic, please

This topic may have dribbled out now, Huw, I'm afraid (better make that I hope)!

Come on, we can make it past Naitch for the longest thread - unless Huw stops us.
But if you count the number of times all this topic has been repeated it holds the record by a long way.
Why do we keep repeating this? Because there has been official guidance and resolution on the full RCT promissed for a long time and no resolution.

I think we have are at the end of this discussion until someone brings us a step closer to official registration! I have been hearing about registration for roughly 7 years and i don't think we are any further down the line since then.

DW - Staying on the Dark Side of the Medical Engineering world.

Dark Side? I thought you worked in (for) the army! I'm sorry, Mate, but on this forum the term "Dark Side" is reserved for those of us lurking in the murky waters of used equipment (ie, very firmly in the so-called "private sector")!
