How exciting I'm sure you'll be brilliant at it.

 

HeyHey..what a great idea Folly !! And hat off for not just talking / thinking about it but going ahead From what I've seen here from your garden projets I reckon you'll be assistant teacher in no time
Have fun !!

 

Oh shucks....nearly forgot
:hpybtd: enjoy the day and be celebrated!!

 

Well done our kid! Hope you enjoy this new experience Nick - I'm sure you will.

So we have a 'mature' student on our hands eh.... good on you Nick

 

Nice one Nick!! With your natural talent you will sail through!!

 

You'll love it our Mon

 

I have to say I enjoyed Collage, making pictures out of bits of other pictures is afterall one of mans best and most poinient advancements.

Just joking (just me being a pedantic sod)

I say good on you, going to college often makes people feel like theyve achieved something and also learn new skills. In fact one of my class mates in uni actually went to university so he could go away and said he'd achieved something, and he did.. which is great. He never actually wanted to get a job out of it, just the satisfaction.

You'll have to show us some of the projects you build.

I'm actually constructing trellis at the moment, and I'll tell you, I'm shocking at it!

 

Good on yer, FM.
I might end up in college myself the way things are going.

Are you sure the back is going to stand up to this?
Bricklaying is hard work with lots of bending etc.As you know.

I'm looking for something less strenuous than what I've been doing up till now..

 

Good for you Nick, well done

 

Excellent Nick, good plan. I reckon you'll love it, and you'll do really well at it for 3 good reasons:

1 - You've clearly got talent for it already, I've seen your photos of some of your projects
2 - You're going by choice because you want to, not because you have to do something
3 - Being a bit older than 16, I reckon you'll have worked out your priorities by now, so probably you'll focus on the work rather than the pretty ladies from the class next door.
