Guest Posted December 18, 2005 Posted December 18, 2005 MY latest apprentice drives me mad - you say things time and time again, and it doesn't go in. I can stand and say something, trying to teach, and I can see his mind is elsewhere.......and BLOODY MOBILE phones.....banning them at work soon! i had one like that...nutted him..sorted..great engineer now..
norman Posted December 18, 2005 Posted December 18, 2005 i had one like that...nutted him..sorted..great engineer now.. Ah! the great Geordie apprentice scheme. Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.
Guest Posted December 18, 2005 Posted December 18, 2005 Ah! the great Geordie apprentice scheme. i thought everyone done that..
Guest Posted December 18, 2005 Posted December 18, 2005 .......and BLOODY MOBILE phones.....banning them at work soon! they plucking are speaking on the phone all the time about getting laid next weekend or where to booze or something similar!! BAN THEM !! i JUST did so.. i had one like that...nutted him..sorted..great engineer now.. nutted..?? i don't think you mean "nuts"... do you...?
breff Posted December 18, 2005 Posted December 18, 2005 Georg, Nutted means Headbutted or struck with ones forehead. Also known as a Glasgow Kiss. The opinions I express are mine and are usually correct! (Except when I'm wrong)(which I'm not)
Brian c Posted December 18, 2005 Posted December 18, 2005 I'm sure if he struggles his lad will help him out If you don't know......ask.

secom van man Posted August 4, 2006 Posted August 4, 2006 And most of us have learned the hard way why you have to wire a diode across the relay coil ( does EMF spring to mind ) blowing lots of switching transistors ....doh!!!!!
Guest ALSEC Posted August 5, 2006 Posted August 5, 2006 I like to see new trainees/engineers get their head around wiring and connecting things like the old Monive panel.It makes them think about what they are doing then they understand it more. Manufactures are making it to easy from them now, they just connect the circuit to panel, program panel, function works. No understanding of how it works - no need to think! ??? Manufacturers are making it too easy ??? What are you going on about? Manufactuers add functionality to new panels because they can - surely anything which makes an engineers life easier is a good thing? Just because an older alarm may have required relays and other bits to make it work doesn't make it any better than a new alarm.. Younger engineers don't alway know how to use electronics components because day to day they don't need to!
