Part-time work

[Chris Houston]

Capital letters are an IT short hand for shouting, which is very ungentlemanly.  Obvioulsy our esteemed users were unaware of this new fangled protocol.

Can we all, in future, please avoid SHOUTING at each other.

Dave, this must be the most boring thread yet!  I wish I had autocraticaly closed it, you bastion of free speach.

Anyway, who would be up for a FireNet night out sometime?  I'm gonna start a new thread.

[fireftrm]

Chris I think the nighht out is a great idea, but not London. Too far and too expensive. Maybe Manchester? See my other post.

PS Colin - it was another Fire Consultancy firm that said you were involved in the BS committee and attended a conference on it at Moreton, I apologise as this info was not accurate.

I only just now see what I/O means - I was thinking of In/Out as that is the acronym for that in most electronics and engineering terms, one of us must be doing the wrong CPD! - joke!

I got the full answers when the FSO came back in but couldn't be bothered to say anything about it, just so pointless as all you were after was picking something that no-one (other than the one I did find) in the emergency lighting/private fire safety business around here knows anything about either. After all we are updating all our notes as part of our website development so they will all be freely available before the end of this year. After that anyone wanting guidance please look at the site, free. In the meantime ask your local fire consultansts they will know, what with all their CPD, or will they............

[colin todd]

Apology accepted. I never attend conferences at Moreton. I hate the place, and its bad enough that I have to spend so much time trying to overtake tractors to get to various IFE committee meetings there. (I chose BS 5266-8 at random, as it was the first recent (or not so recent standard that came into my head.) And dont forget, if the local fire consultant is any of the 10 in our practice, yes they will. Trust me. Next time try to remember to check the facts before claiming I wrote something that I had no knowledge of prior to its publication. Then you wont need to apologise.

all comrades now?

[colin todd]

Would not quite go that far. But come the Revolution, there are those on ''the list'' and those not, know wot I mean, Comrade.

[Chris Houston]

I hope I am on the list for my "public service" FireNet moderator role.  Putting myself in harms way and all.....

[colin todd]

No no no that's not what the list is for. Its for those who need to be ''adjusted''. Davey understands.

[dave bev]

comrade houston, im not so sure you would want to be on one of the lists, however as comrade toddski suggests, there are some who could be reindoctrinated with the sort of ideals acceptable in the new world, which is to come!

[colin todd]

Should not be too much of a problem. 8760 hours of white noise followed by 8760 hours exposure to recordings of speeches of THe Rack, and they will be fine.

Dear Mr Todd

Despite the fact that i am not a FSO, I intend to enthusiastically launch myself into the fire risk assessment buisness.
all the info I need is on the net, and I've got stacks of Fire Service experience.
What could possibly go wrong?

[Brian Catton]

Lee
You will have to bait the trap better and much more subtle than that.
Perhaps you can outline your stacks of fire service experience that would make you competent to do a FRA. I am sure there will be a queue of people to answer your question.

good luck lee999!!

Dear Mr Todd,

Further to our previous (one way) discussion on my plans to join you in your buisness community.

I have to admit to being surprised and disappointed, that you could not find the time to offer me some of your fatherly advice on the matter. Having had the pleasure of reading some of your previous posts I felt sure you would have plenty to say. After all, you normally do. I hope you are not sulking, we don't intend to operate on your 'station ground' so you need not feel vulnerable.

Some of the credit for my up and coming empire must go to yourself Mr Todd, when you said to one of our colleagues recently, "leave fire safety to the experts" I knew, although you didn't mention me by name, that you were referring to me and those like me. I knew that you were of the opinion that somebody with a wide range of local authority fire service experience must be considered "the expert".

So, here we go, this time next year rodney!

Just a couple of things before I sign off, It goes with out saying that i will be operating on a 'moonlight' basis, which i know will concern you. But worry not Mr Todd, I can FRA to my hearts content on my rota days, then I could cram a few RA's in between nights, then when I'm on days i'll get one of the blokes (experts) from another Watch to look after any appointments. I intend to keep it professional, so I think I'll give the phone to my girlfreind when I'm at work, no messy fireground phone calls. I don't want this to interfere with my proper job.

I will endevour to keep you informed of my progress, if i'm not to busy. Like I said earlier "what could possibly go wrong" It aint rocket science, is it?

I won't hold my breath this time for your words of wisdom, I imagine that you are probably busy risk assessing a news agents or something.

Kind regards

Lee

[colin todd]

See advice from Brian. He will keep you right. And keep working on the spelling, as correct spelling always enhances a report, even an FRA.

[messy]

 no messy fireground phone calls.

Lee

Don't bring me into this argument!!
