Posted By Descarte Think yourself lucky your eligable for membership in the first place!

Posted By Robert K Lewis Everyone with an interest in H&S is entitled to membership of IOSH, the key is at what level? John If you had a problem you wished us to discuss then we needed more information. But are you saying you have left it seven weeks with no enquiry? I really cannot help if you don't help us to know the problem. Bob

Posted By Eric PD Membership a joke how long for this is taken off- john, no offence but if i was you I'd try and improve my basic knowledge of english grammer before i attempted to become an IOSH member. It probably took them 7 weeks to decifer exactly what you were on about. eric

Posted By Nick Harker 7 Weeks? What's the rush? In that time period you still know what you know & still hold your qualifications. It probably took several years to get to where you are now, so in the bigger picture is 7 weeks worth worrying over. Nick

Posted By Martin Keeler Did I read in this thread that someone has achieved Tech IOSH status without finishing their level 3? Or has it been a long week!!

Posted By Hazel Harvey It just shows its been a long week. For CPD in my previous posting read Tech IOSH !

Posted By George Wedgwood Brilliant response Eric!

Posted By gham 1. john should be John because it's a proper noun 2. i should be I 3. you abbreviate I'd should read I would 4. decifer is spelt decipher 5. Two spaces after a full stop only one after a comma 6. eric should be Eric 7. You did not place the quatation in quotation marks 8. 4. Grammer should be spelt grammar that just at a glance

Posted By EE Eric - I did not need the PC to identify the 7 faults - now numbered for you my dear. Membership a joke how long for this is taken off- (1-J)john, no offence but if i(2-I) was you I'd try and improve my basic knowledge of (3-E)english grammer (4-grammar) before i (5-I) attempted to become an IOSH member. It probably took them 7 weeks to decifer (6-decipher - according to Collins English dictionary) exactly what you were on about. (7-E)eric Hope this helps you and does not embarrass you too much and since you seem to have made more errors than the originator - based on your own criteria, I guess that good bye seems an apt response to your most recent message - or are we all in IoOSH too dumb to comprehend your grasp of the Engligh language!!!!!

Posted By Charley Farley-Trelawney Nice one Keith!

Posted By Robert (Rod) Douglas EE, I am with you on this one, nice one.... Aye Rod

Posted By Merv Newman As it is Friday, may we call a halt to this one ? I make mistakes when typing, whether spelling, grammatical or just plain finger-clumping. Normally I preview my response so as to give me a chance to "polish" my comments and correct the most obvious errors. Hey, I've got the time. But not all of us have the time, nor are we all trained up to the astonishingly fast and correct speed of Corinne, our secretary. Actually, I would doubt that many of us have had ANY keyboard training. We just pick it up as we go. If I can understand the posting (remember someone saying that if first and last characters are correct then the word will be understood ? I'm ok with that) then I will go with it. Earlier in the week someone asked about a "Rick assessment". I made a gentle joke about someone falling off a haystack. Nobody got the joke. Spoilt me day. I check my colleagues reports to clients. Corinne checks their letters. I don't check their e-mails, accepting that this is a much less formal and quick means of communicating. E-mails from clients arrive with spelling and grammatical errors. I don't complain. Linda, haven't noticed errors in YOUR e-mails. Loved the photos. Right. That's it. I'm off to cook dinner. Red onions caramelised with butter and sage, presented as a tart with melted goat's cheese on top. (Deliah's vegetarian collection. Pretty good even if you like your steaks to be still breathing) Needs a fairly tough wine. One of the lower burgendies perhaps ?
