Jedi / Gas Safety Engineering Training with Jon Jenkins and Peter Lansdown
I'm nearly at the end of a two week practical gas engineering course at Access Training, Cardiff, and I can honestly say I've never been through anything like it. Most of our time has been spent under the tutelage of Jon Jenkins Esq. Not only were we shown the varied and intricate elements of the tools of our future craft but also a tremendously good time was had by all in class. Much was asked of us and a high bar was set, but by testing came triumph. Flame blowing torches were ignited. Mysterious pellets were waved and their smoke traced through darkened shafts of steel. In turn, furious fires of blue and orange were stoked, studied, and solemnly extinguished. Metal rods of strange shapes were brandished above, around, and below (at 100mm distance) machines that, we were reliably informed, have the capability of heating SPACE. Questions were asked, enigmas were solved, and, yes, screwdrivers were turned. Indeed, through the fumes of challenge our sensei forged champions. And a lot of other stuff happened too - imagine Jedi training, on steroids, but crossed with quantum mechanics, rocket science, AND maths. We even got some stories about waterfalls and hippopotamuses. So in short, you'll have to try it yourself because I've got another couple of days left and I'm too shattered to write more. Tomorrow I have to service a boiler and fill in a CP12 form about it. Thanks again to Jon Jenkins and Peter Lansdown.
