Just went to an interview yesterday about joining a level 2 engineering course. Fortunately, i got through it with out incidents (Wetting my self, heart attack and the like).
The course is 60% theory & 40% practical, includes both electrical & mechanical engineering and upon successful completion, i can move on to level three.
I have a little taster session coming up, not sure when. I also have to buy some equipment (£60 for uniform and £20 for tools).
I hope i get in. The qualifications needed are four GCSE's at grade E (Got: maths, history, physics and Chemistry), grade D in maths (got) and grade D in English (Don't got, but the interviewer said i may still be able to get in). In a sort of test i had done before hand, i did about GCSE C grade in maths and "A level" standard in English (which is weird, i always thought i was better at maths).

I found some old fun bangs in my room. They are little explosive things which when chucked at a hard surface, create a bang noise. Imagine the nefarious activity's i could get up to with them.

"Spaced" was on TV on Sunday night. If you don't know about it, its an excellent sitcom that has the guy who went on to do "Shaun of the dead" and "Hot fuzz" in it.

Also, i have been reading a online book called "Nuclear War Survival Skills". Its pretty damn interesting and you can read it here [link]
