Just out of interest, is anybody else apart from me and Mr T going to this seminar ??
-
Which phone box will it be held in? If you give me the venue and the date I could unleash my marketing skills and increase the attendance by 50%!
-
If i knew anything about it might be interested.

Dave;
Why not dispalying the link, this may interest some others, if they see more profoundly what is about... :)
-
If Mr T is going will there be free snickers bars and people shouting things like " i aint going on no third party course sucker" or " get some nuts?"
....sorrry!
-
I take it that its a secret, "is it one of them wiggly hand shake doo's"
-
Blimey.... perhaps it's a secret.......!!!
Haven't got a link but here's the remnants of an email.....

How much costs Dave? or is that free? :)

I think it was free... but to be honest I can't remember now... if it cost ££££s then it wasn't a lot........

Its about the benefits of 3rd party certification, such as BAFE SP 203 etc. Dr Retty, I missed the sense of your rapier wit. Could you possibly explain.

Someone said in an earlier post that "Mr T" would be attending the above seminar. He was of course referring to yourgoodself. "Mr T" is also a name of a character from the popular 1980's US television programme "The A Team". Mr T currently advertises Snickers®™ Bars on British Television proclaiming that we should all "Get Some Nuts" he was also famed for saying things like: " I aint going on no plane fool"
Im afraid I have a habit of adding comments which only amuse myself, and perplex or just annoy others! Something Mrs Retty (INNL) is always telling me off about. Mrs Retty recommends that you just ignore me, and that I will go away eventually!

Archangel Retty, That was way too obscure for me, especially as I dont have time to watch TV. I do however recall the guy you mean now. He was a wimp! Snickers bars would interfere with my diet, but perhaps when I am next in the West Mids, Mrs Retty could do me a cuppa, while we talk about you.
Now back on topic (isnt that a chocolate bar too), so I dont get wrong from the mod, the seminars in question are to run in London, Glasgow ( a sort of poor man's Edinburgh if you have never been) and Bury, which I suppose as a Midlander you consider oop North. I dont think that there is any secret about them, but they will explain the benefits of 3rd party certification schemes to enforcers, users, etc and of course insurers. 3rd party certification was actually the brainchild of insurers originally, but commercial considerations often prevented requirments for 3rd party certificated products and services. In the current climate, maybe the time is right to re-engage with insurers. If you want to go to one of the seminars, let me know.

Glasgow ( a sort of poor man's Edinburgh if you have never been)
Funny you should say that I have just spent a few days in Edinburgh and now I too am a poor man.
The Scots may have decent fire safety legislation and great whisky but if I never hear another set of bagpipes it will still be too soon.

I read somewhere that the definition of a gentleman is someone who can play the bagpipes.....but doesn't!
-
Kurnal, I think the fact that you acknowledge two out of the three is sufficient for me. In any case, I am more a soft rock man myself, though after a few Taliskers I do a rousing version of Flower of Scotland, with or without bagpipes.
ps I bet the kilt shop convinced you that there really was a Kurnitowkski tartan.

Well not quite Colin but I do have a letter confirming the right to wear the Guthrie Tartan as a result of links going back to Bonnie Prince Charlie. Charles was the son of James Francis Edward Stuart who was in turn the son of James II and VII, who had been deposed in the Revolution of 1688. Charles' mother was James' Polish wife, Maria Clementina Sobieska 1702–1735, granddaughter of the Polish King, John III Sobieski. The Sobieskis were ancestors of mine on my grandmothers side and later assistance by my grandfathers side of the family to the Bonnie prince led to the symbol of the boat and thistles being introduced into the Kurnatowski coat of arms.
