Page 10 - Stan Frank Diaries

July 1st
Bartlett’s just gone on to Man’s pay. He’s older than the rest of us. He’s now on over seven
f*cking quid a week. Bastard! So far he hasn’t had the opportunity to spend his ill-gotten
gains as he’s spent most of this term in MRS.

(Researcher’s note. We think at this point Stan Frank is talking in some kind of code, or has
been drinking, since the following makes little or no sense whatsoever.)

Made a Bi-stable Multi-vibrator flip flop (thought by our researcher to be perhaps some kind
of sex aid) in Workshop Practice. We had to use two triodes, a couple of capacitors and some
resisters. I connected 240V to the Grid as well as the Anode. The result was spectacular.
Longstaffe turned out to be colour blind and couldn’t tell the difference between a 220 Meg
Ohm and a 22 Ohm resister. His caught fire too.

Divisional Cadre. Rumour has it McGuiness is up for Lance Jack.

TV room was packed for a program called Six Five Special. There was a group on called 'The
Beatles' ..... a one hit wonder if ever there was one. They interviewed a band member called
John Lennon. He was far too full of his own piss and importance …. People like that should
be shot.

Later we watched Tomorrow’s World. Raymond Baxter reckons that by the turn of the
century we would all be buzzing around with Jet Packs. I hope he’s right. It will make a
change from buzzing around with small packs.
