I really enjoyed the Shakespeare FL Course, - I did it a while back now.

I'm signed up for 'Exercise on Prescription',  ;) and 'Introduction to Italian'. (I like a bit of variety:-)

I haven't found the Genealogy one nearly as good as I was hoping for... ???

I've completed the survey, linked to my email address. I'm hoping they'll take more notice of that.

I could probably do with a course that took me off the computer for a while as i spend all day in front of one in work and all evening (and much of the weekend!) online either working on my own tree, browsing rootschat or teaching myself how to use the new FH software i've just bought  :D

But that might be difficult if it's an online course  ::)

Working my way through this week ....

Um ... Nancy and Biff?  ::) I might be doing them a disservice but I can't take a couple of Americans stuck in the 80s very seriously. Poor Biff - looks like he's a bit the worse for wear after spending the afternoon at the pub.

(I have no sound on my PC so am relying on the transcript so my impression may be different from others)

Fin-ished! The last few "activities" were pushing the paid courses.

I found this week more useful until we got to Nancy and Biff, then it went downhill from there. Chris meeting up with her family was a complete non event. She seems a nice lady, and her dog is cute, but all that I got out of it is that she wants to go to Germany.

This course did not go out with a bang, but still everyone claims that they learned so much and they are so grateful to all the staff for their hard work. I have to hold back so as to not say anything ...  >:(

Oh yes. (Good expression - I haven't heard that one before.)

I feel I can let it all hang out here a bit more as I think some of us are thinking along similar lines .....
