Back to School - Match Postponed !



... tonight should have been the start of "Let's get Smiffy's computer skill-set into the 21st Century" viz. Night 1 of the "Learn Yourself VB.Net", so with apple in pocket and folder under arm I ventured forth through the freshly-fallen snow to Tameside College for an 1830 kick-off ... into the classroom to find a few people already bashing away at the keyboard ... strange ...

Lecturer arrived - "Can I have a word ?" - it transpires that - because of the snow a few weeks ago - everything has 'gone back a week', so we were looking at the last week of the previous course !! He did give us some gifts to be going on with however (a couple of books, a copy of Visual Studio and an exercise disk (no not that sort of exercise !!) ...

"Same time next week folks ?" - bloody snow ...

(oh and the FC United v Ashton United game has been called off tonight as well - something to do with the weather - or Bury FC getting "all protective" - take your pick - blame the ref - everyone else does !!).

Was the apple in your pocket one of those new iPad thingies?
