    I find it astonishing that with the nation's finances the way they are they'd drop a non trivial bill like €250 on ye with no notice, just be sure it's not in the fine print somewhere so that they can't turn around and say "we told you about this 6 months ago" and leave you in the lurch.

    they deffo didn't tell me six months ago, spech as i didn't have this place six months ago.

    it is rediculous. it isn't the smallest sum of money, and honestly to assume that everyone will be able to just produce it within 24 hours or less is madness.

    newho panic over. i managed to get a lend of the money required (God bless them) so i shall be able to pay for my uniform and knives tomorrow :)

    honestly they ain't that big on the slack from what i have heard. and i haven't even heard back yet about my btea (i will get it but they haven't told me yet). i am just glad i managed to get a lend of the money, so i can do classes monday. i am dying to see what the money is paying for exactly. like there is mention on the letter of shoes - pls god they ain't really UGLY shoes!!. and then what is my uniform. and engraved knives, wonder what they are engraving on them, perhaps my name :)

    They'll be steel capped safety shoes with "oil/wet floor grip" soles. They *will* (and not might) save you from serious injury, so it really doesn't matter a fig what they look like :)

    Knives will be engraved with your name or initials I'd imagine as knives walk *all* the time.

    I know all this because 1) I've a cousin and a lot of friends who went through chef's school in GMIT and 2) I've worked in quite a few kitchens in my Hospitality industry days :)

    He makes both usually... Different types of wood or antler for handles... Sometimes he buys the blades, makes them the rest of the time....
    In fairness to him, they do look pretty cool when he has them finished.....

    It's extremely sharp, handle made from brass, Elk antler and some type of wood (i don't know much about these things...)

    Is your hubby on Boards by chance BadGirl? There's a regular gent on the hunting forum called davymoore who makes exceptional knives and that doesn't look entirely unlike his work.

    I'm trying to pack up my flat (slowly) and I have filled 6 boxes with books and I've barely made a dent in the piles. D:
    I was hoping to only need 2 more trips, but looks like it's going to take way more. :/

    Do you think taxi drivers do loyalty cards? Get 5 stamps, get a free trip?
