Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue.

i'm not entirely convinced that it was purely to do with bluetooth, i think they know more than they let on and using the bluetooth excuse, you've now identified yourself!!

I think this whole paranoia about identifying yourself is going a bit OTT. I have't done anything wrong, nor do I plan to so it doesn't matter to me if anyone knows who I am.

Lol couldn't be as bad as mine!
You HAVE to tell. You have a moral duty now! It can't be as bad as PandaPants surely??
How are you guys coming along with the defs? My flight is delayed, so I've been studying since 11am, got the caution, Courtesy and half of the Human Rights Act more or less learned. Looking forward to PACE. Not.
I've deprived myself of free drink until I've studied, so as soon as I get on this flight I'm hitting the champagne, lying back and watching movies. 0 -

i wouldnt be surprised if they were turned away yesterday for being late considering the SRD was monday!
there were a couple of no shows on the day, bit of a waste if they were turned away for tardiness, but the pack explicitly says 9am and good time keeping was reinforced to us on monday0 -

I'm finding the studying much easier than I thought. I've been writing everything out repeatedly until I can write it from memory. I've only PACE to go now. I more or less know everything else, but I'm finding it difficult to say things out loud, yet I can write them down with no hesitation. Anyone finding the same? Or am I weird??
I've spent all my travelling time studying and a couple of hours when I was wide awake at 3am, thanks to the time difference! :rolleyes:
I've been up for over 24 hours now, so I'm going to bed. Hope everyone's studying is going well. 0 -

Sounds like a good idea. Ive been able to say it out load. Finish PCR, gonna start CJS later. Hows the workbook going?0 -

I can't start the workbook until I get home. The disc is not Mac compatible, so I have to try and get a Windows PC to look at it. I'm not home until Wednesday, so I'm going to have to blast through it before Sunday. So I'm making sure I know all my defs before I get home.
I thought about bringing the disk with me and printing it out over here, but I was too scared of losing it and getting in trouble! 0 -

I was under the impression that Mac's are compatible with all PC disc images. It's not the other way around though, PC's don't read MAC formatted discs. What's it saying when you try to run the disc?0 -

yeah, theres not much to the workbook, you could do it in a couple of hours.
defs are doing my nut in as well, i keep stumbling and messing up a word here and there for the first one! but the others are easier, i'm trying to avoid the big long one on page 4! maybe if i dont look at it it'll go away!
how many are you folk learning??? i'm aiming to get all those needed for week 5 learnt word perfect. is anyone being a total swot and learning the whole book? (i'm looking at you panda!) 0 -

I'm only doing what I need to for the moment. If I get any spare time I might work ahead, but I'm struggling with PACE at the moment. I'm just getting silly words mixed up. It's doing my head in!!!!!!!!!!0 -

from what i've heard of the test, its all blank apart from the odd comma or "the" etc here and there. It says to learn them verbatim, which to me means learn them off by heart and where the commas etc in them are.....so thats what i'm doing. just writing them out over and over, also recorded them so i can listen to myself saying them. i've got 6 of them perfect, two more shortish ones to get and then the big PACE one0 -

How are you guys coming along with PACE? Please tell me I'm not the only thicko totally not getting it?? I've just spent 4 hours writing it out repeatedly and I'm still none the wiser....:(
I have it in my head that we are getting a test on defs on Sunday, did anyone else hear that or did I just make it up in my head?? (As I have been known to do!)0 -

It takes a bit of time to get the shine up but its a far quicker way of layering with polish!!! Very much doubt you will be allowed to do this indoors, and polish is quite flammable, What they dont know cant hurt!!!!
There is a school of thought that says its impossible to get the same shine doing it like this... but tbh we used to use this method at school and I can't say in 6 years of bulling my boots to glass that I noticed any difference. And believe be I have done everything from spit and polish layer by layer from scratch through to using klear floor polish! (Which I REALLY REALLY do not recommend, whilst it works a treat at first, even the meerest spot of water turns it green and it goes frothy and you get in a LOT of trouble :eek:)
Basically the idea of bulling is building up layers of polish and whilst you could just slap it on in great wads, melting the polish helps to build up thicker layers faster with better smoothness, but be careful, I will say that putting too much polish on at once and not using water will result in it cracking and this you really don't want, it's happened to me and it's not nice.
Really though guys don't get worked up about this... You do it while you watch a film, or chat to your mates or do some course reading, its actually quite relaxing and nothing like as hard as you are all imagining. Sure if I was doing it at 12 years old I'm sure you'll all have no bother with it

they did say that you may be asked defs on sunday, but you'll not be marked on it (though, if you don't know any then you might be remembered as the lazy person who didnt take the initiative and learn some pre-entry!)
i wouldnt worry too much, i know most of the ones needed for week 5, not done much of the big long PACE one, i know they gist of it and what it means, but don't know it word for word.....yet!
but i've done the workbook, and learned most of the week 5 defs and been in the gym and out running, so i'm reasonably happy with my preparations (but ask me again at the end of week 1 and i may have a different answer!)

Swot! I've been on holiday stuffing my face and drinking too much. Have been studying my bum off though. I spent ALL fecking day on the long PACE and I still haven't a clue. Some of the descriptive words seem inconsistent, so in one sentance it's "to suspect of being guilty of it" and another is "suspecting to be guilty of it". I keep getting them all confused and it's very very frustrating.
COME ON THE GREENS!!!0 -
