I couldnt be bothered blogging.

So I did'nt. Why force yourself?

I mean, I couldnt really think of anything 'fresh' or 'relevant' to type about.

And then I thought, feck it, I'll do a twitter and just type what I've been doing.

So: for starters I started a Start Your Own Business course run by FAS and (because Im unemployed) funded by YOU Mr and Mrs Taxpayer. Which is why I shouldnt really admit that I made up an excuse and bunked the second half of my second night. Last night was first night and those arriving were pointed to a table in the canteen where they should take a seat and wait for the lecturer. Its pretty uncomfortable sitting around a table with 19 strangers, not knowing where to look, and hoping that somebody in this unintroduced group will take the iniative and say something. Once we had been led to our lecture room everyone introduced themselves. There were 19 pretty impressive people and me! 15 out of a group of 20 were unemployed. Builders,journalists,mechanics,graduates,architects. People who would never have had to consider going it on their own in better times. There were also a few who had already started or were well on the way to starting their own businesses. I felt a little sorry for our lecturer, who had never started a business himself but had carved a career at FAS after his career in management at SDS ended with its closure; Some of his students appeared to know more than he did!

Anyway, to cut a long story short, I will be going back next week for sure. I find my classmates and lecturer fascinating. But then again I dont get out much!
