Well, I don't need to, as Dominic Sandbrook has exactly what I wanted to say, only better, in the Daily Mail today - /This is the story of a British industry that consistently deceives and disappoints its customers. It encourages them to run up thousands of pounds worth of debt to buy its products, which often turn out to have been wildly mis-sold. The more this industry sells, the more it dilutes their quality. It treats its workers like drudges, loading them with paperwork and making it impossible for them to give their customers the care they need. Yet it pays its bosses eye-watering salaries, far in excess of their counterparts in similar industries. If this industry were an independent business, the Government could be forgiven for shrugging its shoulders. But it is not. It is heavily subsidised by the British taxpayer, whose money is diverted into ever-grander buildings and ever more extravagant rewards for the bosses, even as its customers feel more and more cheated. The industry in question, of course, is British higher education. So when I read that three unnamed British universities, one in the North-West and two on the South Coast, are in danger of bankruptcy, I was not entirely sorry. Of course, bankruptcy would be awful for the institutions' students and staff, the majority of whom are utterly blameless. But the plain fact is that something has gone desperately wrong with our universities. And instead of throwing good money after bad, the Government should seize this opportunity to end the era of reckless expansion, and have a long think about how they can best serve Britain's youngsters rather than betray them. To put it bluntly, there are too many universities, too many degrees and too many students. In the late Eighties, when I was a teenager, fewer than 800,000 people a year ? 15 per cent of school-leavers ? went to university. Today, some 49 per cent of school-leavers go into higher education before the age of 30. We now have 160 universities or further education colleges, employing 400,000 people and educating a staggering 2.3 million people. Ever since the Blair years ? it was New Labour that settled, arbitrarily it seems, on a target of getting 50 per cent of school-leavers into university ? politicians have cited these figures as signs of great progress. They never stop to ask if we should really be encouraging youngsters to spend three of their most vigorous years studying 'body contour fashion', 'tournament golf' or 'beauty promotion', all of which are current degrees. Nor do they ask themselves if it is ethical to send graduates into the world burdened with average debts of ?50,000 each ? the highest rate in the Western world ? in exchange for a degree that is often barely worth the paper it is written on. If you talk to almost any academic in Britain, they will tell you that something is desperately wrong. Almost without exception, they say that their classes are too crowded and there is increasingly limited opportunity for lectures and tutorials, while managers are putting them under pressure to dumb down because of the numbers of students admitted who cannot intellectually cope. Almost without exception, they say that their classes are too crowded and there is increasingly limited opportunity for lectures and tutorials, while managers are putting them under pressure to dumb down because of the numbers of students admitted who cannot intellectually cope. My own epiphany came more than 15 years ago, when I was teaching history at the University of Sheffield, a fine institution with bright and enthusiastic students. It was a miserable autumn afternoon, and as the rain poured down, I was sitting in a hut teaching some 40 students about the causes of the Great Depression. The student who was due to give the main presentation had not turned up. His friend explained that it had been 'pound a pint' night in the student union the night before, so I embarked on a mini-lecture instead. And as I droned on, a thought hit me. Why are they all here? What are they getting out of it? I can already hear the howls from university managers. According to their adverts, university gives students unique 'transferable skills'. Graduates, they claim, will earn a 'premium' of ?100,000 over their lifetime, thanks to a degree certificate. The first of these points is, to be frank, a complete lie. A history degree gives you no skills that you would not get from a degree in plenty of other subjects. It certainly gives you little that you would not also get from A-level studies, training in all kinds of white-collar jobs, or just reading a book and being a reasonably intelligent adult. As for degrees such as the University of Chichester's new course in 'e-sports studies', which invites students to run up ?27,750 in fees for the privilege of playing video games such as FIFA and Counter-Strike, I am afraid this is out-and-out larceny. Chichester's website claims this degree 'will enable you to forge a career in this vibrant and fast-growing industry'. I hate to sound cynical, but do they seriously expect anyone to believe this? As for the supposed premium, this is largely illusory. In reality, thousands of graduates leave every year to find themselves manning the machines in a coffee bar or pestering people to change their electricity supplier. Figures from the Office of National Statistics show that five years after leaving university, graduates in popular subjects such as English, agriculture, and psychology actually earn less than the national average. If you have a passion for Emily Bronte and excellent A-level results, by all means do an English degree. But what if you don't? Why waste three years doing something you are only mildly interested in and have never shone at? If they had an ounce of social responsibility, the universities would encourage less academic youngsters to get an apprenticeship instead, or to find a niche in the world of work. But they don't. In reality, they welcome all comers with the beaming smile of a used-car salesman. No matter how ill-equipped you may be for university life, there is always an institution willing to take your money. At the Universities of Bedfordshire, Leeds Trinity and London Metropolitan, you can stroll in with three Cs at A-level.? Indeed, such is their greed and desperation that weaker establishments will admit students with a handful of Ds. As a result, thousands of students, utterly unsuited for academic life, are packed into lecture halls like steerage passengers on the Titanic. They find their experience intimidating, overwhelming and deeply disappointing ? and all this at a cost of ?9,250 a year. No wonder, then, so many give up. Nationwide dropout rates after the first year have soared for three years in a row. London Metropolitan lost a staggering 19.5 per cent of its students after the first year. Bolton lost 17 per cent; Middlesex 16 per cent. It is no coincidence that the worst rates are at former polytechnics, which have conspicuously failed to close the gap on the old universities. Of the worst performing universities in the country, the majority are old polytechnics. At Cambridge railway station, expensive adverts proclaim the city to be the 'home of Anglia Ruskin'.? They are not fooling anyone: the prestigious Times rankings place Anglia Ruskin 122nd in the country. By contrast, the other university in Cambridge is No. 1. To make matters worse, our universities are simultaneously prostituting themselves to foreign students who sometimes can barely speak a word of English. Ten years ago, the London School of Economics notoriously awarded the son of the late Colonel Gaddafi a doctorate, despite the fact that, according to his tutor, he was 'totally uninterested in economics, lacked the intellectual depth to study at that level, and showed no willingness to read, let alone do coursework'. But this was not an aberration. This is now the norm. The LSE's only crime was to get caught. A few years ago, I talked to a senior academic at a redbrick university who was just back from Kurdistan. His job, he told me, was to identify poor countries that had recently suffered wars or disasters and been given aid money by the UN or the EU. His mission was to get his hands on that money. If that meant giving Kurdish students doctorates on, say, William Shakespeare, even if they could barely write a sentence in English, then that was fine by him. Where does this money end up? It goes to people like Bath Spa's recent vice chancellor Christina Slade, paid ?429,000 last year on top of her ?250,000 salary, ?20,000 housing allowance, ?20,000 benefits allowance and ?89,000 pension package. Or her contemporary, the University of Bath's Dame Glynis Breakwell, who made ?450,000 a year, lived rent free in a ?1.6 million house, and yet was greedy enough to demand ?8,000 for 'laundry and housekeeping' expenses before having to leave this year. To put these figures into context, the chief executive of Bath's local council earns ?150,000 a year, while the boss of the local NHS trust earns ?185,000 a year. The truth is that for too long our society has been wasting time, money and talent in pursuit of an objective that every reasonable person admits is completely deluded. Not every youngster has a first-class academic mind, and not every further education college is an Oxbridge of the future. For far too long, politicians and university managers have been perpetuating a gigantic fraud and, in doing so, have betrayed generations of students. It is time it stopped. /// -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The question comes from a Instructor and Flight Controller at NASA. *Doctor Who had a Rosa Parks episode. Has Doctor Who always been political?* Robert Frost Robert Frost , Instructor and Flight Controller at NASA Answered Oct 22 Only in America would a depiction of a sixty-three year old event in which a woman demanded to be treated like a human being be perceived as /political/. Silly me, I thought we?d reached the point where we all agreed that people should be treated as equals. I didn?t know that was a bold political stance. The purpose of science fiction is to speculate on how science could impact the human experience. It is a creative means to examine the human condition. Science fiction that occurs in the realm of space and alien worlds is used for allegory. It examines ideas that may be uncomfortable to discuss in their native context by giving them distance. We view aliens facing choices that parallel our own and that makes us assess our choices. /Star Trek/ was well known for this. As a small child, I remember watching the episode ?Let That Be Your Last Battlefield?, in which two aliens had great racial animus towards each other but the only difference between them was that one was white on the left side of their face and black on the right side and the other was white on the right side and black on the left side. Kirk and crew found their bigotry astonishing and so did my young self. That story imprinted the idea that racial bigotry is stupid and ignorant onto my brain. /Doctor Who/ is even more suited to this type of storytelling because the Doctor is very judgmental. The Doctor flies around the universe in the TARDIS disrupting the status quo, chastising authority, and setting wrongs right. Part of the original BBC charter for the show is that it was to be educational for children - a way to teach them history. The second Doctor Who story, back in 1963, introduced the Daleks. The Daleks were a militaristic alien race obsessed with racial purity. They were based upon the Nazis. They were commentary. Now, I always thought that opposing Nazis was no longer political - something everyone agreed upon, but in August 2017, I learned that isn?t really true. The following year, 1964, the story ?The Planet of Giants? provided a pro-environmentalism message. In 1967, in ?The Ice Warriors?, Doctor Who was ahead of its time - get it, ahead of its /time/ - in doing a story about anthropogenic climate change. Doctor Who stories like ?The Savages? and ?The Power of Kroll? indirectly criticized Britain?s past colonial efforts. During the time the Third Doctor, in 1972, the show had a story called ?The Curse of Peladon? that paralleled the discussions happening in Britain about joining the European Union (which happened the following year). There are many, many other examples. The show is all about questioning ideas. Fiction that questions ideas shouldn?t be described as political, it should be described as intelligent. ========== There are many more answers here: https://www.quora.com/Doctor-Who-had-a-Rosa-Parks-episode-Has-Doctor-Who-always-been-political ============ As a corollary to this, last week we had to look after grandsons Sam (8) and Harry (5). They had recorded the Rosa Parks episode - and watched it over and over and over again during the week - about 6 times if I recall correctly.? Each time there were questions, so there are now at least two children fully versed in the anti-segregation movement in America. "...There's Martin Luther King!..." Hurrah for Doctor Who !! Hurrah for Doctor Who !! Hurrah for Doctor Who !! Hurrah for Doctor Who !!

Wasn't New Labour's motivation for 50% nothing more than getting the youth unemployment figures down??Sent from my Samsung Galaxy smartphone.-------- Original message --------From: Bernard Newnham via Tech1 Date: 02/11/2018 11:12 (GMT+00:00) To: tech1 at tech-ops.co.uk Subject: [Tech1] An article wot I didn't write During my ten years working for a minor university, I always promised myself that one day I'd write an article about it - maybe try to get it published in The Oldie.? Well, I don't need to, as Dominic Sandbrook has exactly what I wanted to say, only better, in the Daily Mail today - This is the story of a British industry that consistently deceives and disappoints its customers. It encourages them to run up thousands of pounds worth of debt to buy its products, which often turn out to have been wildly mis-sold. The more this industry sells, the more it dilutes their quality. It treats its workers like drudges, loading them with paperwork and making it impossible for them to give their customers the care they need. Yet it pays its bosses eye-watering salaries, far in excess of their counterparts in similar industries. If this industry were an independent business, the Government could be forgiven for shrugging its shoulders. But it is not. It is heavily subsidised by the British taxpayer, whose money is diverted into ever-grander buildings and ever more extravagant rewards for the bosses, even as its customers feel more and more cheated. The industry in question, of course, is British higher education. So when I read that three unnamed British universities, one in the North-West and two on the South Coast, are in danger of bankruptcy, I was not entirely sorry. Of course, bankruptcy would be awful for the institutions' students and staff, the majority of whom are utterly blameless. But the plain fact is that something has gone desperately wrong with our universities. And instead of throwing good money after bad, the Government should seize this opportunity to end the era of reckless expansion, and have a long think about how they can best serve Britain's youngsters rather than betray them. To put it bluntly, there are too many universities, too many degrees and too many students. In the late Eighties, when I was a teenager, fewer than 800,000 people a year ? 15 per cent of school-leavers ? went to university. Today, some 49 per cent of school-leavers go into higher education before the age of 30. We now have 160 universities or further education colleges, employing 400,000 people and educating a staggering 2.3 million people. Ever since the Blair years ? it was New Labour that settled, arbitrarily it seems, on a target of getting 50 per cent of school-leavers into university ? politicians have cited these figures as signs of great progress. They never stop to ask if we should really be encouraging youngsters to spend three of their most vigorous years studying 'body contour fashion', 'tournament golf' or 'beauty promotion', all of which are current degrees. Nor do they ask themselves if it is ethical to send graduates into the world burdened with average debts of ?50,000 each ? the highest rate in the Western world ? in exchange for a degree that is often barely worth the paper it is written on. If you talk to almost any academic in Britain, they will tell you that something is desperately wrong. Almost without exception, they say that their classes are too crowded and there is increasingly limited opportunity for lectures and tutorials, while managers are putting them under pressure to dumb down because of the numbers of students admitted who cannot intellectually cope. Almost without exception, they say that their classes are too crowded and there is increasingly limited opportunity for lectures and tutorials, while managers are putting them under pressure to dumb down because of the numbers of students admitted who cannot intellectually cope. My own epiphany came more than 15 years ago, when I was teaching history at the University of Sheffield, a fine institution with bright and enthusiastic students. It was a miserable autumn afternoon, and as the rain poured down, I was sitting in a hut teaching some 40 students about the causes of the Great Depression. The student who was due to give the main presentation had not turned up. His friend explained that it had been 'pound a pint' night in the student union the night before, so I embarked on a mini-lecture instead. And as I droned on, a thought hit me. Why are they all here? What are they getting out of it? I can already hear the howls from university managers. According to their adverts, university gives students unique 'transferable skills'. Graduates, they claim, will earn a 'premium' of ?100,000 over their lifetime, thanks to a degree certificate. The first of these points is, to be frank, a complete lie. A history degree gives you no skills that you would not get from a degree in plenty of other subjects. It certainly gives you little that you would not also get from A-level studies, training in all kinds of white-collar jobs, or just reading a book and being a reasonably intelligent adult. As for degrees such as the University of Chichester's new course in 'e-sports studies', which invites students to run up ?27,750 in fees for the privilege of playing video games such as FIFA and Counter-Strike, I am afraid this is out-and-out larceny. Chichester's website claims this degree 'will enable you to forge a career in this vibrant and fast-growing industry'. I hate to sound cynical, but do they seriously expect anyone to believe this? As for the supposed premium, this is largely illusory. In reality, thousands of graduates leave every year to find themselves manning the machines in a coffee bar or pestering people to change their electricity supplier. Figures from the Office of National Statistics show that five years after leaving university, graduates in popular subjects such as English, agriculture, and psychology actually earn less than the national average. If you have a passion for Emily Bronte and excellent A-level results, by all means do an English degree. But what if you don't? Why waste three years doing something you are only mildly interested in and have never shone at? If they had an ounce of social responsibility, the universities would encourage less academic youngsters to get an apprenticeship instead, or to find a niche in the world of work. But they don't. In reality, they welcome all comers with the beaming smile of a used-car salesman. No matter how ill-equipped you may be for university life, there is always an institution willing to take your money. At the Universities of Bedfordshire, Leeds Trinity and London Metropolitan, you can stroll in with three Cs at A-level.? Indeed, such is their greed and desperation that weaker establishments will admit students with a handful of Ds. As a result, thousands of students, utterly unsuited for academic life, are packed into lecture halls like steerage passengers on the Titanic. They find their experience intimidating, overwhelming and deeply disappointing ? and all this at a cost of ?9,250 a year. No wonder, then, so many give up. Nationwide dropout rates after the first year have soared for three years in a row. London Metropolitan lost a staggering 19.5 per cent of its students after the first year. Bolton lost 17 per cent; Middlesex 16 per cent. It is no coincidence that the worst rates are at former polytechnics, which have conspicuously failed to close the gap on the old universities. Of the worst performing universities in the country, the majority are old polytechnics. At Cambridge railway station, expensive adverts proclaim the city to be the 'home of Anglia Ruskin'.? They are not fooling anyone: the prestigious Times rankings place Anglia Ruskin 122nd in the country. By contrast, the other university in Cambridge is No. 1. To make matters worse, our universities are simultaneously prostituting themselves to foreign students who sometimes can barely speak a word of English. Ten years ago, the London School of Economics notoriously awarded the son of the late Colonel Gaddafi a doctorate, despite the fact that, according to his tutor, he was 'totally uninterested in economics, lacked the intellectual depth to study at that level, and showed no willingness to read, let alone do coursework'. But this was not an aberration. This is now the norm. The LSE's only crime was to get caught. A few years ago, I talked to a senior academic at a redbrick university who was just back from Kurdistan. His job, he told me, was to identify poor countries that had recently suffered wars or disasters and been given aid money by the UN or the EU. His mission was to get his hands on that money. If that meant giving Kurdish students doctorates on, say, William Shakespeare, even if they could barely write a sentence in English, then that was fine by him. Where does this money end up? It goes to people like Bath Spa's recent vice chancellor Christina Slade, paid ?429,000 last year on top of her ?250,000 salary, ?20,000 housing allowance, ?20,000 benefits allowance and ?89,000 pension package. Or her contemporary, the University of Bath's Dame Glynis Breakwell, who made ?450,000 a year, lived rent free in a ?1.6 million house, and yet was greedy enough to demand ?8,000 for 'laundry and housekeeping' expenses before having to leave this year. To put these figures into context, the chief executive of Bath's local council earns ?150,000 a year, while the boss of the local NHS trust earns ?185,000 a year. The truth is that for too long our society has been wasting time, money and talent in pursuit of an objective that every reasonable person admits is completely deluded. Not every youngster has a first-class academic mind, and not every further education college is an Oxbridge of the future. For far too long, politicians and university managers have been perpetuating a gigantic fraud and, in doing so, have betrayed generations of students. It is time it stopped. ? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Being mistaken for being a computer expert, is, of course, better than being the person with the terminal disc drive. Hard drives don't last forever. Some last a long time, and one of mine has 53,000 hours on it- over 6 years - but eventually it will die. After my first disaster, probably over 20 years ago now - I started taking backups seriously.The first thing I did, having looked it up, was to put in two 60Gb mirrored drives as drive C:, called RAID1. Redundant Array of Independent Discs is a set of standards for using multiple discs to protect data. RAID1 is the most basic.Great idea, except unfortunately a few months later one of them had a problem, and immediately copied it to the other one. I could probably fix that now, but I couldn't then. Then burners became available and affordable, so I moved to making CD copies, then DVDs. I have a pile of them here, dating back to 2004. Then the files - especially video, became too large, so I bought some more large discs - there are two on backup duties in this machine now. Of course, one ought to be putting backups in a secureremote location - under Wood Norton perhaps, but with that out of the question, I reasoned that if the house burns down I'll have enoughproblems. I've been working that way for some years now. I've lost one drive in that time. It went into click mode and wasn't accessible, but the stuff I needed was backed up. I was having a clear out the other day, and plugged it back in, lying on it's side - and it worked. It's small by today's standards, but I went through it before running Eraser and junking it. The downside of backing up this way is that you have to remember to do it. If I'm working on something important, I want to back up pretty often, sometimes several times in a day. At this point lots of people use a cloud of some kind - my phone does it without asking, and is now complaining that I've used up the allocation I didn't know I had. I'm not a great lover of clouds. They, are of course, just other people's disc drives. Somewhere out there is a data centre, and in that data centre is a drive, much backed up, which has on it large numbers of my photos. Most of them were just rushes - six versions of a shot of which I wanted just one, and those pics one takes these days of a price tag or whatever. Useful for maybe a day. They're still out there, along with those of millions of other people's, wasting energy somewhere in the world. Last year my elder son went off to SE Asia for a very late gap year, which may turn into forever. You can't beat renting a house for ?4.50 a week. He asked if there was a way to back stuff up for him here, and we tried using FTP to allow him to copy stuff onto one of my drives. It was clunky and didn't work too well. So...... I've looked vaguely for years at devices called NAS. Network Attached Storage. They're effectively low powered computers which are purely designed to hold data on disc drives and give it back as required. Someone recommended those of a company called Synology, who've been selling these for a long time.? Eventually - last week - I bought one. It's a fairly basic model, a DS218J, with space for two drives.? I bought it two 2TB Western Digital Reds, designed for this purpose. You put the drives in the machine, then on a local computer browser, you type "find.synology.com". And it does, and then spends a while setting everything up. Then you get a screen full of applications, some of which seem to have been superceded by others.? Hmm. In some ways setting things up the way you want is really easy, and in some ways it isn't . I want two things from the box. Real time backup of several folders on this machine (maybe others later), and limited access for myself and family from anywhere.? The latter was easy. Set up users, tell them how to access the machine, done. The former turned out to need third party software, which I was rather surprised at. As usual, everyone else has been there before you, and Google is full of advice. I downloaded FreeFileSync, set it up, and it's now working very well. So now I'm a backup expert. Maybe. You may have done this yearsago, or not. This has been my experienceso far - the machine is still copying stuff. If I change anything in the synced folders, it's mirrored on the NAS without me having toremember. Just what I wanted. B -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The Channel 40 feed used to be ch. 38 until the polititians invented Channel 5 which cocked everything up as polititians do! Anyway, the purpose of this epistle is to recommend the RF Modulator I bought on e-bay for only ?13.99 and has performed superbly for the last 4 years and I hope many more. It came from 'Boss-Tec Ltd. 26, Malvern Rise, Huddersfield, HD6 4DG'. You can chose any UHF output channel.

The latter has a motorised scraper for chamfered cement joins. However, my 16mm library of movies that I worked on has been largely superceded by video versions on BluRay, where available, projected onto a 6? or 9? screen with a Panasonic projector which delivers Hi-Def. Two pics attached ? one outdoors (9?) and one indoors (6?) for screenings at friends? places. For the garden presentation, the punters got a welcome drink and supper ? hence the queue for the grub! Guy ropes on the big screen as the first year we mounted the show, the wind got up and blew it over! Luckily not during the movie! You can?t see the 16mm in the garden one, but the video projector was for a ?supporting programme? - a locally made newsreel for the village. They got a Tom & Jerry before the main feature, the latter usually rented from Filmbank library. Best Pat Subject: [Tech1] Well, I haven't done this in about 35 years.

I always wonder about houses with alarms and think they must have lots of expensive stuff inside! Of course, I haven't but it must be devastating to have any yob rifling through your drawers etc. My cameraman partner for some years had two burglaries and the yobs smeared poo all over his walls and carpets etc. and pinched all his power tools from the garage.

There isn't a lot point now. Once it became possible to store pictures, and thus defeat the great enemy "time", the necessity to have everything start off with the same timing became far less critical. In practice cameras normally genlock to a local master - in the bad old days the actual sync, blanking and drive pulses were routed through - and the same thing applies to the output of processing chains, but frame storage is frequently simpler to achieve. That also applies to audio. In many cases sample rate conversion is easier to achieve than locking gear to a master. When digital mics were brought in most had an option to have their output timing steered into lock - a bit like Natlock - but that hardly ever gets used nowadays, because rate conversion is less complicated and often better as regards jitter.

They say that 'the older you get, the nearer your bladder gets to the eyes'! I always think back to when, after a very difficult pregnancy we were gifted with a son. I don't know how my wife coped in the early years. The baby never stopped screaming, we had no money in a very bare maisonnette, ate off an ironing board, and were constantly being complained at by the neighbours for the noise, because he was a taxi driver who worked nights and got no sleep in the daytime! After six months, our son was referred to Charing Cross hospital to see Dr.Jolly, the top paediatrician in the country. The diagnosis was a very rare brain tumour called 'di-encaphalic syndrome'. He was in there for several months and one day they phoned us to say that there was nothing wrong and come and take him home -'rather you than us!'. It was never easy from then on, hyper-activity was frequently mentioned, and we always had trouble with school open days! However, he is now a Marketing Manager of a large car-spares company, has two lovely daughters and a grandchild on the way!

They say that 'the older you get, the nearer your bladder gets to the eyes'! I always think back to when, after a very difficult pregnancy we were gifted with a son. I don't know how my wife coped in the early years. The baby never stopped screaming, we had no money in a very bare maisonnette, ate off an ironing board, and were constantly being complained at by the neighbours for the noise, because he was a taxi driver who worked nights and got no sleep in the daytime! After six months, our son was referred to Charing Cross hospital to see Dr.Jolly, the top paediatrician in the country. The diagnosis was a very rare brain tumour called 'di-encaphalic syndrome'. He was in there for several months and one day they phoned us to say that there was nothing wrong and come and take him home -'rather you than us!'. It was never easy from then on, hyper-activity was frequently mentioned, and we always had trouble with school open days! However, he is now a Marketing Manager of a large car-spares company, has two lovely daughters and a grandchild on the way!

In my 16 years in News at AP and TVC I'd never really talked to him, despite him (and all the other presenters and reporters) passing my door en route to N! and N2 - you knew not to pester them (like the stars in real telly). Despite that, he was always game for a laugh (like the Dougall/Baker spoof "Goodbyeee" song when we left AP) and a friend of mine who was organising a stage show for his local church asked Dickie to record all the announcements introducing the acts. He gladly agreed, and people were duly confused by this famous voice in their church hall. My favourite memory occurred after we both left News. He went on to present Omnibus (I think it was) for a bit when it was a studio bound show. Very studio bound on the day I was there - Dickie had been standing on one mark or another for most of the afternoon as the links and run-into TKs/VTs were rehearsed over and over again. Not one moan from this man despite the laboured direction. During a quiet bit for us upstairs I popped down to to studio floor and as I approached him he grinned he said "*Ah, someone else who's escaped*!" (from News).

The keyboard only has one stereo-jack output for cans or stereo system and cuts the internal speakers when used. Obviously, it would be necessary to hear what she is playing while recording.

With the ?Frost Report? ?Two Ronnies? ?Last of the Summer Wine? and ?Likely Lads? under his belt I guess he was entitled to one misjudgement.

The "new" locomotive is being back-converted from 4942 "Maindy Hall" which was in scrapyard condition: this is appropriate as the original 4900 class prototype of 1925 was converted from 2900 class engine "Saint Martin". As this is a working "fudge" and not a replica it will be? numbered 2999 as a new member of the class, with the name "lady of Legend".

I yelled "Can you free the cable Dave?" and you instantly replied "I can't, it's Stapled to the floor".

Several of you have already been kind enough to respond so thank you to Dave Mundy, Pete Fletcher, John Howell (still remembered as Hibou!) and Peter Neill. It gives me the greatest of pleasure to remember you all. John Staple who featured in the anecdote Hibou dredged from his memory bank about me was someone I knew well on a personal level and, as many others will no doubt attest, could well form the subject of a dedicated website. Or tragi-comedy come to that! How many of you still find it difficult to come to terms with the demise of TC? When I got to reminiscing a little with Pat Heigham I mentioned to him that I had a large file of the TC complex from 1958 when Higgs and Hill were bulding it. It?s BBC copyright but I used a file transfer to get a copy to him (28.7 Meg JPEG so you can zoom in to really HD detail). I could do the same again if anyone is interested. There is something about poring over it that reinforces the anger that such decisions were taken. Iconic doesn?t do it justice, it can never be replaced ? another national treasure lost for ever. High-ups who know the cost of everything and the value of nothing .... Thank you Bernard for wising me up about the vagaries of the email list ? also Peter Neill ditto.

If anyone else would like to take on this task, please let us know.? Anyone can disorganise. What you have to do - 1) Pick a venue 2) Pick a date 3) Ask if they can host us 4) Tell everyone. If you pick one of the current venues this should take about ten minutes. Obviously doing a recce at a new place and testing beer etc could take longer. If no-one else wants to do this, I propose an early new year disorganisation, which I shall sort. cheers B -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I don't know how to navigate to what I presume was the same photo posted by Hibou to which you refer. Do I gather you somehow got missed off John's list? I assure you you're on mine!

There are something like 31 missing episodes, including one by David Attenborough. The RI are hoping that some tech savvy people in the '70s may have recorded some of these episodes - and still have them!? (I'm a bit dubious about? 40+ year old VHS!!). Maybe one of us may have some of these episodes recorded, or be able to lay their hands on a recording? The RI want to digitise them all and put them on line. -- Best Regards Alec Alec Bray alec.bray.2 at gmail.com mob: 07789 561 346 home: 0118 981 7502 From tonynuttall at me.com Sat Nov 24 05:47:50 2018 From: tonynuttall at me.com (William Nuttall) Date: Sat, 24 Nov 2018 11:47:50 +0000 (GMT) Subject: [Tech1] TO COURSE PHOTO Message-ID: <03da35e0-ef71-4be5-a85e-e5dc38c6460d@me.com> Hi All.

If you want real edits, unfortunately sound only, listen to the famous Bush House tapes! Hours of night duty and a sharp razor blade can work wonders to studio talkback comments and pre-broadcast line-ups. I think Mike Jordan posted a link a few years ago. A good friend of mine added even better gun shots to the 'William Tell' segment.

Street Message-ID: <76e50acb-b08f-771f-072c-62124ce4cbcd@btinternet.com> My wife's NHS Pensioners Group organised a trip to see '42nd. Street' this afternoon, one of Pat Heigham's favourites! I did a Royal Variety show in the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, many years ago, so it was quite nice to be the other side of the prosc. arch! The show was great and as we were right at the front in the stalls (unlike Pat in the ?125 luxury seats in the circle!) I could see the radio mics, of which there were lots! I wish I could have gone upstairs to chat to the sound man to find out exactly how many channels he had working! (Amazingly, the 'Mama Mia' theatre was only a few yards away and there was no interefernce!) Anyway, the 'zit' mic capsules were very hard to see but they were placed between the top of the ear and the eyebrow! The cable went round the back of the head under the hair! You would think that the sound from the temple area was not conducive to good audio but I must admit that the sound was very good with no HF loss! If only we had had such good equipment when I was at work!
