My work put me through forklift training six years ago and a refresher course last year for a…read morecounterbalance forklift. The training consisted of watching a health and safety dvd and a short multiple choice test and the practical test on the third day and practical experience was on a three days. The practical test involved lifting and stacking pallets and going through a course made of pallets standing on their sides to form a right and left turn, the object was to drive through with pallets on the forks set them down and reverse back through then drive through and bring them back on the forks. Two people I work with failed and the examiner tried his hardest to help them but they both hadn't driven anything before not even a car and I think nerves got the better of them, in fairness to the examiner he made the right decision as you need to be safe above anything else. The forklift license covers you anywhere you work though my work being sneaky claimed it doesn't, as they paid for it they won't give me it. My advice is pay for any training you get for any job and keep hold of whatever license or qualifications you gain. The training was carried out at my work and we were unloading lorries during training which is a good thing as you'd be unloading lorries when you'd have your license, at least your getting advice as your learning.

Terrible driving school worst in N.I!!!…read more - My driving teacher smoked in the car on a break! -Like to take numerous coffee breaks -Not very friendly -Basically wasted my time and money and i shortly found a better instructor. My advice don't bother with this company. The owner does not seem to care when you call him about your issues.

I called Car College because my usual instructor could no longer make my driving test date so I…read moreasked Car College if they could take me for a lesson and I could use the car for my test on the same day. I've had lots of lessons and am ready to go. Cocky smug lad on the phone said "Nobody would let you have the car without seeing you drive first". I explained that I've had lessons and that they would see me drive before my lesson. "No No! Nobody would let you do that!". One phone call later to the next company and I was all booked in under 3 minutes. Losers. :)

The Crescent Arts Centre is a basic but contemporary looking venue…read more It functions as a community arts centre for the people of Belfast and holds a variety of dance, music, creative writing and visual art / craft classes for all. They also push the boat out by holding a artistic participatory events, exhibitions and performances. The Crescent Arts Centre are also the curators of the City Dance Festival and Belfast's longest running literary festival - Between the Lines. I was there recently for the Trans:mission night, showcasing the best Irish electronica musicians, as part of Belfast's innovative trans festival. I was itching to see Nouveau Noise, from Dublin who play deliciously glitchy and lush electronica. The set up was very relaxed. It was a mere £5 in and BYOB. Everyone in the main room was seated round tables dotted around the venue and chatting away. On stage there were electronica acts playing some really interesting and innovative stuff with some cool visuals being projected behind them. In the middle of the night, there was a drawing competition- where two massive boards were erected each side of the stage and a 'crew' of illustrators and street artists from Dublin had to freestyle a picture, with a Dj playing in the background. It made for such an interesting night. I'm all for Arts spaces opening up their doors to gigs, like Block T in Dublin. And the bring your own booze door policy is always a winner.
