So I've learnt! It's funny, as a kid I had no interest, well actually a complete aversion to learning History. I guess growing up in NZ where the civilised history only went back barely 200 yrs was part of it. But as I've got older I've become far more interested. The area my house is in has some very interesting history behind it and shortly after I bought the house I read quite a bit about it. So when it comes to Europe and the UK which have centuries upon centuries of civilised history I have a new found thirst for knowledge.
Happiness is not a destination. It is a way of life.

Could be worse you could be talking to car insurance company, bike insurance company and private health care insurance companies and getting no where as all 3 seperate companies are equally as w@nk as each other
Today and yesterday has been spent on a course to understand the Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) that the powers that be have decided we need to be using at work.
It's basically an online homework tool, designed to supplement the teaching that we do for the trainees.
And ironically, the course could easily have been done online, via the VLE!
But still, 2 days out of work is 2 days out of work!
Got up at stupid o'clock to get to Ipswich for 8.30..... Great run all the way until the A12 I hate that road!!
Did a detour via lucky dip on the satnav..... Ha ha ended up down a dirt track which would have been better suited to the sherco rather than the car lol
