Just personal interest. No plans to change careers (I hesitate to claim I have a current one to change from!). I just like learning stuff.Originally posted by Pip in a Poke View PostDo you mind me asking why?
The pain of study is bad enough when there's some glimmer of getting a career out of it but I'm guessing that, like most people who study later in life (excuse that assumption), this isn't a career move?Comment

I might be spending some time near Oxford too. If anyone has any great tips for things to do round there they would be gratefully received.
@Admin, can we have a cycling smiley?
Nothing specific planned this weekend. Will be out on the bike at some point depending on the weather.
The Thames Path National Trail is not a long distance route for cyclists. However there are some sections of the Thames Path outside London which cyclists can use - the longest section being the 5.4 miles (8.7 km) through Oxford."Being nice costs nothing and sometimes gets you extra bacon" - Pondlife.Comment
