Still in love with this one. My first big work on a watch. A lot of scars on the dial (some made by myself at the time..), hands in a poor state but still charming !

Managed to snag a slightly more modern #CarMaintenance #book from 2010 (only £7 second hand, cost about £30 new!) written as a textbook for #apprentice #mechanics (who would mostly be in late teens at further education #college), but a good read for me to get my head round how more modern #cars work and how such things as fuel injection, sensors and ECU interact (my older books, though detailed concentrate on things like carburettors and distributors which are not used in todays vehicles)
New episode! 
This one's all about #apprenticeships as a potential path into the #conservation profession: Liz has been an #apprentice, Jenny has hosted an #apprenticeship and Kloe is just plain keen.
We also chat with Jane Henderson about the potential pitfalls of the UK model, and to stone carvers Nina and Charlotte about how it works in their industry.

My local #Council in #Ipswich #Suffolk #England is #hiring for an #IT #ServiceDesk #apprentice - whilst the #salary is low for the sector its a #hybrid #job (2 days only in the office) and they are providing full #training - and its unusual to see any public sector organisation hiring real humans in Britain for entry level #tech #jobs that are still in-house!
Ex-NBC Executive Regrets Role in Building Up Trump
“Former NBC chief marketing officer John Miller told Vanity Fair he regrets mythologizing Donald #Trump’s business savvy on “The #Apprentice” and recalls the host’s “racist tendencies,” creepy pageant behavior, and how he could be manipulated with compliments.”

Die News über den Mann sind schon irre, da muss man sich das nicht auch noch als Film antun.
@openuk Nice. I want to join the #opensource #apprentice #meetup for the first time! Exciting! See you in London!
Ex '#Apprentice' Staffer Says #Trump Snorts #Adderall and 'Can't Read'
He's only using them for finals week, okay? His mom is going to KILL him if he comes home for Xmas break with a subpar grade in Intro to #Fascism.

"As for the addys, Casler noted that Trump 'can't read' and promptly gets 'really nervous' when confronted with cue cards. 'He's a speed freak,' Casler said. "He crushes up his Adderall and he sniffs it because he can't read and he gets really nervous when he has to read cue cards. I'm not kidding. This is true. I had a 24-page NDA, non-disclosure agreement. I didn't know then he was becoming president.'"
Now bragging about how many people he's fired. Trying to play the #Apprentice card.

@GottaLaff the 'celebrity' #Apprentice editions were particularly amusing. It was a veritable 'Whose that?' of b list was list no list and really good sport kinda stars ( Meatloaf Lil John Gary Busey Cindy Lauper Donny Deutsh x models sports stars country stars...) being given group tasks to come up with say a new food truck item. 12 egos would have to work together on idea marketing and execution only to be repeatedly called a Loser then Fired for coming in 2nd by the cheif Douchnozzle himself. trump only really came alive berating the losing team. That show was fucking made for him.
@GottaLaff Lil John and #trump were FRIENDS or as close as a transactional sociopath can be a friend. He was on at least 1 #Apprentice series.
I always liked that show. Im a huge reality competition show addict as long as it's not horny Ken and Barbie iterations slobbering all over each other. I just always turned it off at the Boardroom.
The creepy guy head of the show was such an asshole.
It will be worth the Lolz, but JD may be fired before then.
At the #TEDx talk I did in March, I met a guy who had been on the #Apprentice. He was fired early, but what struck me most about him was his bulletproof confidence. He was pitching himself as a public speaker. He wasn’t actually very good at it, but he broadcast himself so successfully that he had a queue of students wanting to talk to him afterwards. He brought his own film crew too, so while I’m still waiting for the official film of my talk, he’s long since used his to massage his profile.
