Does taking my grade 2 piano count - even though I failed it?

NoBinturongsHereMate · 17/11/2025 13:30

I have an assistant swimming teaching certificate (lapsed). And grade 3 violin.

No need to mention at all

Excellent.

Ooh add in my qualification for searching for underground cables and my qualification for checking erections... Of scaffolding. But I could do a big screen erection check if required.

Over on X there is a "man on a donkey*" who seems to be sending some stuff across to NW.

*I am hoping that the donkey is a wee one

I usually get lunch at 3pm but bought snacks when I was buying whitening toothpaste (long story, see the Bluestocking thread).

It was definitely just for convenience, Honest.

Don't read anything into the popcorn...

Tsk. They are now late.

NF

Though given the Respondent’s barrister is not yet in the building we may well not be starting at 1.30pm

Very disrespectful to the Court, that is. Bet the Judge has a right go ... 😂

She kind of has to now or she would be showing bias...

NoBinturongsHereMate · 17/11/2025 13:33

We're currently expecting a 1.45 start. SD had a separate case to attend this morning- he won't be held responsible if that didn't run to time.

Londonmummy66 · 17/11/2025 13:33

Depends on whether or not his solicitor sent in the right kind of letter.

Yes indeed: Will be VERY interesting to see if the judge is as angry as she allowed herself to be to NC and CE on Friday:

I recommend chilli rice crackers as a savoury popcorn. Very moreish.

Just time to pee.

Yes again.

I'm all jittery and nervous . It plays havoc with my bladder.

DH has a Blue Peter Badge; he might be available to freelance during coffee breaks.

Me too. And a Magpie badge!

What, not being held responsible when you making them late while following Court process?

Tssk.

We got visited by the Green Cross Code man just after Star Wars came out.

Sod the Green Cross Code we wanted to know what it was like being Darth Vader!

I met Dave Prowse at a comic con once, he was very sweet but didn't really chat (he gave me the same comment he'd given to the woman before me). I didn't mind as it was clear he was getting on a bit and it was towards the end of the day so he was clearly knackered, plus I was too busy fangirling. I'm grinning like a demented chipmunk in the picture I got 😂

CriticalCondition · 17/11/2025 13:37

I've got a certificate for 25 feet breast stroke. (Yes - it, and I, are that old.)

MyrtleLion · 17/11/2025 13:37

@ manona_donkey
Nick - can I DM you about .. the case.

NW
Of course. DMs are open

@ manona_donkey
Thanks. Do you have anyone who knows the Belfast Film / LGBT et al community who might recognise some individuals? Will DM some stuff now.

moto748e · 17/11/2025 13:38

I''ve mentioned before that when I was Very Small, I sent off a load of Quaker oats packet tops (and probably a postal order), and got myself a fine certificate, stated that I was now a member of the Biggles Air Police, and I felt it best that a GRC should be afforded similar status. Frame it and hang it on your bedroom wall if you wish, but it doesn't entitle you to access any areas other men can't.

I can’t be the only one wishing we could actually watch live

In a just world, we would be wrapped up warm, with a plastic glass of wine, huddled around the Bigly Screen while the crowds gather around us.

Madcats · 17/11/2025 13:23

Me too (though I think I had a year or two of the Green Cross Code Man:
At the kerb, hault! Look right, look left, look left, look right again and if all is clear, walk straight across.

My nursery school even had a pretend zebra crossing (which is a bit odd becasue I don;t think there were any zebra corssings for miles).

I won't be there when you cross the road, so always use the Green Cross Code!

I won a triangular shaped pencil when I was six for reciting the whole of the Green Cross Code when the Road Safety Man came to my school.

You've kept that quiet.
