According to today's Metro. From September, you can do a GCSE in TV soaps!!

It reads.....

A ten-week basic skills course in TV soaps plus a taster course and lessons in TV criticism are being offered in September. It's all part of Council chiefs' cunning plan to improve people's literacy and numeracy while studying something that interests them.


I really don't know whether to laugh or be downright shocked by this!!



Right. Now that I've entertained you all. I'm off to bed. Had a crap shift in A&E last night and I'm knackered. I'm sure I'll dream of you all...........

I wouldn't advise it. Nothing could be worse than me and d00m and Boudicca arguing in your subconscious.

There's a stackload of ridiculous degrees you can do now...all working on the basic psychology that people doing things they like are more likely to learn. So, they're usually a weak cover for some honest work.

Talking of dreams, I had one last night where a man in a very large pub wearing a checked shirt claimed to be one of you lot and he said he travelled around Europe to the recent gigs. I didn't believe him.

It's one of those dreams where you think you've woken up, but it's still going on.

Then a giant wombat walks in or something... :urff: :lol:

Now, when the wombat walks in, does that mean you're dreaming or awake? :|

Ah ha!

And as anyone who's met me will tell you, nothing I wear has even been touched with an iron.

So thus, I'm not confused!!!!!!
