@labtech666 @LabLogger_Sci My job tomorrow. I've been putting the prep room back together after some building work and tactically left the admin 'till last.

[#TECHOGNITION @TECHOGNITIONUK]

Join us and thousands of UK school & college technicians next Thursday for our 8th annual #TECHOGNITION event which showcases and celebrates their essential contribution to education. https://t.co/ObLT5CyPqT

Last year I went to Kandersteg in Switzerland. There were plenty of helicopters buzzing around. There was a hotel/ice cream parlour/cafe up high. Didn't even think about it. https://t.co/kR0PpBddaX

@DriverdDriver @SurbitonHigh @CLEAPSS A lovely way to put it. Thank you for coming and I hope you find it useful.

Perhaps none more surprised than me that they invited me back for a 2nd year of glass manipulating fun.

(Been a tech for 18 years and this is the first CLEAPSS mug I've managed to pick up myself 💜☕)

@CountBinface Will the arcade be one entry fee and then the machines are free, like in the early days of SegaWorld, or shit, like it became?

@ScietechSmith Pop a kettle on to boil with your water of choice.
Weigh out the required mass of starch and add it to your beaker.
Add a little bit of cold water to make a paste.
Add the freshly boiled water with stirring until it's clear.
Top up with cold water to the final volume.
Done!

@StillABookShelf @Taffytoons Incidentally, I had a bad experience of it once.

[Christopher Hardie @Chimbles84]

It had to be done though, didn't it?
