Nice people thread part 8 - worth the wait

I've rediscovered why I don't go to ebay. I've bought a typewriter. I don't know what the frack I will use the typewriter *for* but it cost £1 plus postage.

This is why it is not safe for me to go to the site...

Ah, I have the perfect thing for that...go on there when you have no money.

Obvious thing is to resell it .....

If it's an old one with old round letters, strip those off and you can sell those to crafts people, then put the rest back onto ebay as "for spares or repair"

You could tape down one of the letters and write a strange novel like this one!

I like the first one, the second one looks like the kind of cleaning lady apron/ bib that PN suggested female office workers should wear to preserve their modesty!

PN - I might have completely misremembered, but when you were last job-hunting did you say that you saw a few ads specifying experience of PRINCE?
Been meaning to tell you, there is a groupon available at the moment:
http://www.groupon.co.uk/deals/coventry-and-warks/e-Careerscom/21092799?nlp=&CID=UK_CRM_1_0_0_125&a=23

Not exactly free, but cheaper than the (probably inflated) 'full' price too.

So, Woolacombe.
Is it nice? Picturesque? Boring?
Is there much to do?
Hilly or flat?
I see it is near to Lynmouth where Viva is a fan of.

I've got the bit of paper.... although it does expire after 5 years, so technically I am expired.

I paid over £1000 in 2006 to do mine.

To be honest, I found that nobody ever actually wanted/used it, they just wanted to use the words in adverts

It's like MS Project. I used to use that - but then I found that company budgets only enabled a PM to have a copy, meaning it was useless as files couldn't be shared - so most places didn't use it as they didn't have the budget for everybody to have a copy.... but still it appeared in adverts.

The link you provided: "Foundation" is the lesser one, which is achievable by most people. Practitioner is the harder/longer course - and people complain it's really difficult, but I sat down in a classroom read the book, took the exam and passed first time, so it's not impossible obviously.

It is at sea level behind hills.


Gets packed in summer. Around 45 minutes drive from Lynmouth.
Woolacombe itself is all about the beach but there's plenty to do in the area. What sort of thing do you like?

It's supposed to be a posh person's surfing destination. That's all I know really. Difficult to get to without your own transport..... probably little else to do in the area except hiking and drinking local ales.
