due to nearly burning to death a few weeks back, I seem to have an abundance of spare time on my (crispy) hands.

As my stomach isn't yet strong enough to take jeremy kyle and the other assorted daytime tv crap, I need to do something to keep the good bits of my brain going.

So, suggest a short course I can do from home, hopefully one that may bring a few quid in as I shant be back to work for at least 6 months.

I did work and a quantity surveyor before being flame grilled, but any suggestions welcome.

(with the exception of a course of female hormones)

Mind you, even if you suggest something st and it makes me laugh I don't mind, I'm bored stless

Learn how to make websites. It's really not hard and you could potentially do a couple for friends and family for a couple of quid in your spare six months.

Looks like it's web design then due to the plethora of suggestions tumbling forth.

How people are happy to sit and do nothing all day is beyond me- I have been off the serious painkillers for a couple of days and I'm going mad already.

A course of antibiotics?

ETA: perfect chance to start learning a language, that's what I'd do (inbetween all the 'sperm donations').

I always wanted to learn sign language.

  • edit * Okay, that was actually a serious answer but I've just realised who started the thread and why. Maybe something that doesn't require such manual dexterity biggrin

Good idea. French, German or Spanish speakers are always in demand.

My brother in law has recently got into design software for adapting his house. He likes computers and is an engineer by trade (robotics) but said this software he has is so intuitive and easy to use he has made some highly detailed plans of modfiing his house. he also said its the sort of thing that would allow huge perspective change when it comes to moving or buying.....

I am going to have a look at this in the next 12 months as it will be nearer the time for major building works, Its just one of those things that to some people will be of huge benefit... i am sure Google has the answers.....


Failing that, World of Warcraft. i tried it once for 15 mins, its like super-crack, fortunatly i dont have a copy and i'm not allowed to THAT friends house any more......
