PSB make learning fun!

#1 Post by mole973102 »

While I was unemployed I started courses with Learndirect.
I have improved Mathematics and English.
Then I learnt
Word 2003, Excel 2003 and Access 2003.
For the final stretch, I have to do an assignment that proves I can apply Word, Excel or Access (or a combination) to life. So for some reason I chose to convert my huge list of PSB into Access.
I didn't realise what a huge job this would turn out to be...

This list started out in Tasword 6128 on a CPC 6128.

Best get back to it. So far spent the morning playing with U-MYX/GO MIX.

And tryin' to figure out what happened to 'Germaine Propaine'
"He couldn't have fell off that hard" Ain't no way
"What happened to the way you was rappin' when you was scandalous
That Canibus turned into a television evangelist"
Plus he raps with his regular voice [BOOSH! BOOSH!]
[BOOSH! BOOSH!] (What was that?) Pet Shop Boys

I am pleased to announce that I am not Durst. I assume you mean the guy that used to fill the Outlook Express newsgroups with rubbish?

The '973102' bit comes from the days I used ICQ. These days, I join as The_Mole. Much more practical. :)

Hi Dur.... I mean FirthofForth :mrgreen:

Well done Mole for having a shot at Learn Direct. What are the Maths courses like? I'm a bit obsessed with Mathmatics, as i'm really interested in betting, especially trading.

Most people can get up to 'Adult Level 2' free. Equivilent of GCSE A-C. Nothing fancy, but doing all this grind will give me 8 GCSEs at C and above eventually. At school I was E-D in part due to bullying and that I like to work in my own way. Doing is fine; it's the being dedicated and allocating time that is the hard part.

Ken (my tutor) is someone that matches my personality. I don't care much for sarcastic, patronising people and Ken doesn't do that. He praises instead. For some reason, that makes a huge difference to my motivation and attitudes.

I am so bored.
I've created a memo field and all pasted all the main data into each record. Now I have to cut and paste from here into the relevant fields. The singles section has 249 discs. :(

That makes about as much sense as some fat, bald 40+ year old coming on here and trying to get away with wearing a t-shirt about being homosexual :wink:

I own some PSB caps, one from the 02 tour and one from the 06 tour, would you like me to model them for you? I could write a sign and hold it up, whatever you'd like it to say, would prove I'm who I say I am. Would be happy to do it for you. I am fat, but not bald, and more like 28+. A

And anyway, my signature this whole time has had a mrcrest link. Mrcrest being my ebay name, and ebay being where you can see a picture of me already. One that will match the same person on the rarepsb youtube channel. And the same person you will see if I take a picture.

Think I'm bluffing? Better think again, cause if you want pics, you can have em.
