So there he was.

went over to ask him why my NIC fees have mysteriously gone up without any notification....`oh itl have been posted up in connections` he says....funny i didn`t see it.

then the conversation got round to why it was that an outfit with say 200 odd operatives can get away with one QS just roaming round from site to site...i was assured that this wouldn`t be allowed....so why did Ms Clancy in all intents & purposes mumble otherwise when cross examined at the recent parliamentary select comittee hearing?

then it was all about the third party signoff thing that has recently come into play....i was informed that neither the NIC or ELECSA were going to do it...as it would be `detrimental to our members`...TCs words.

now...at this point old TC dragged us away from `front of house` to show us this water heating thingy that someone had rigged up....of course what he was really doing was trying to get us away from the front of their stand as i was asking some searching questions that they were clearly struggling to answer....all three of em looked very shifty....

look, i dont dislike TC but i didn`t like the way he seems to be just the `company guy`....

its plastic....
 
What are you doing in Harrogate Glenn ?

Thought this was NIC Tonys patch ?
well i did quite OK actually this year.

made various trips to the wago jar.....likes you do...

there was a tub of stuffing glands that i emptied...and next to it there was another tub full of a new kind of closed grommet....so i helped myself to those as well....

went on the denmans stand and got the free bag with some snips, longnosed pliers, universal pliers, set of 6 drivers and a volt stick that just happened to fall in...

got several wago boxes...oh, and the free rods...

and i got loads of those little green books that look like a mini BS7671 that are good for jotting notes in from the IET stand...

then it was the sweets they put out + free pens & cups.

i got a set of NWS snips & pliers for 20 quid but i didn`t really want to spend that much there so i was a bit annoyed really...hmm.....

but it wasn`t a bad day out.....
 
What is the is yearly help yourself to free goodies event called ?

Sounds like a good day out ,

freebies , goodybags and the interrogation of scam employees
look...

its the only times i get to help myself to stuff.....apart from that its someone trying to get one over....

so i dont feel selfish...no, really i dont...

and when manchester comes along...i`ll just do it all over again...

on another note:

Phil & I were just outside having a smoke when one of the NAPIT guys was there...

so i got asking him about this so called napit 2391....as he was blubbin on about how everyone in napit had to have the `2391`....i told him it wasn`t worth a jot outside napit....he of course insisted it was...`no it aint` i says and eventually i got him to see sense and admit it...took about 20 mins..

they were all there squabblin over all the visitors...it was like watchin chickens when you throw some bread at em....
 
I blew a hole in mine yesterday through a poorly marked cable temped into an old board. Is the Denman's gear any good? I've not tried any of it

well...it seems OK...

they do some dis-boards called curve that have loads of room in em...

as far as the tools are concerned....well, they look OK...see how they are though in a few months...

tell you what Trev...i bet you were cross about them snips.....i know i bloody was with robert as i had already told him not to go rummaging about in my bags....

one of these days he`ll do it and i`ll IR test the little s***...
 
So if anyone is going to the next Elex and can pick up a pair of high leverage 200mm NWS snips on the cheap I'd be willing to negotiate a price for them.
