Do you have any conditions I should know about? Are you still located in it? Can you tell me any gossip? Why? What are you wearing? Are you a student? What are you wearing? That is a very original thought. How did you hear about HAL? Where are you located?

I think it's a great idea, practically free education, provided you're willing to do research on the side, I suppose.

I guess the downside is that it doesn't give you any qualifications or anything, but if your primary goal is to learn, I suppose it's as good as actually enrolling.

Nah, you don't get any qualifications. But I have the luxury of a bit of free time, and so have managed to slot in some bonus lectures and seminars... How often do we get to learn anything we want?

I have one of those old phones without a camera & I worked out today how to receive mulitmedia messages..... I've had the same phone for 4 years & only just worked out how to set the MMS up.....
Now I can take photos with my Dads phone then send them to me..... I have a picture of Dale Thomas as my wallpaper now..... :P
