Great that you are doing a degree. In my opinion you have precisely the right experience and background to complete your degree and see success So many of the product from our Universities have no comprehension of the process of manufacture having zero practical skills. I have seen this and been frustrated by it throughout my working life.
May your Christmas be as orderly as a perfectly stacked pile of firewood, as delightful as a cup of Earl Grey, and as merry as a round of polite applause after a stirring rendition of 'God Save the Queen.' Wishing you a most spiffing and splendid holiday season, old chap!"
It's nice to hear that someone who knows machining, mechanics and fabrication will be a mechanical engineer. I've seen people who don't know which end of a screwdriver goes in the hand get an engineering degree.
Good luck with your degree, Mr Crispin - you have chosen the path that I trod; four years of one day and two nights, whilst holding down my day job ! Year three was the doldrums - we had come so far and the end still seemed to be so far away . . . . But never give up hope - You are Rolls Royce trained and you will fly it ! From your present knowledge and demeanour, I see a first ! Seasonal felicitations ! Steve A.
That hat retreval was great. Because, I was bewildered as to why there was no hat parking at the introduction. I shure didnt see that twist comming. Happy Christmas & new Year.
As a recently retired Rolls-Royce employee (Hucknall, OGV Cell) my only regret is not joining the company sooner. I had reached the level of HND before I joined RR, with a majority of my qualifications being undertaken in my own time (and cost) as my previous employer always maintained a theory that if you educate members of the workforce then they always leave for a better job. This is exactly what I did when leaving to join RR. If I’d been a bit younger I would have loved the challenge of undertaking a degree course. Good luck with the course and a happy and prosperous New Year.
I've always respected RR and they are showing respect for you. Educating and promoting within the company is an excellent way to retain the good employees. The loco is a great project but less important than your education opportunity. Prioritize appropriately.
Well done Mr.Crispin congratulations on your opportunity to further yourself RR must think of you very highly. I'm really looking forward to you showing more content of your Springbok locomotive build as I'm in the early stages of the same quest on the same locomotive.
Thanks for sharing your expertise with inspirational and entertaining videos. When I get into a jam, I always think "What would MrCrispin do ?" Merry Chrimbo !
Merry Christmas Mr C, thanks for the engineering and music videos all of which amuse, entertain and inform. Hmmm, that might become the Mr C BSc charter. Good luck with your degree and I hope you have an excellent 2024.
Happy Christmas and NewYear Mr Crispin, thank you for the videos through the year. Hope you find the new role in academia satisfying and look forward to more interesting videos next year.🎄🎄🎉🎉🍾🍾👍👍
Merry Christmas and Happy New from Michigan USA. You better go put your brother's toothbrush somewhere he can find it, so he can use it for the holidays. I'm very much looking forward to seeing some work getting done on the locomotive. And thank you for bringing us these videos.
Merry Christmas Mr C to you and yours, good luck with the degree, really looking forward to the 2024 progress on the Loco, hope you got your brother a new toothbrush for Xmas
All the very best for your future education. I'm sure you will excel even if you only apply half the energy you do into educating others. In fact I think you will spreed your already learnt skills into others learning with you (and possible teaching you). Been following you since Mr Pete recommended, what a man Mr. Pete is. Chris. Engineer (Petroleum). England.
Excellent stuff that Rolls are sponsoring you through a degree course. Something that must not be turned down. Having done 1/2 an OU course I can understand why you may not be posting quite as much as we would like. Have a very merry Christmas and have a very, very happy New Year.
Great to hear about the Engineering Degree. I have one and it’s the best thing I have done. It’s a shame I didn’t do any machining, but at work I got to watch and learn from the best of them.
