I've got a list a yard long - some people are course junkies and I'm one of them. I've got a certificate in accounting and I've never used it - it cost my employers nearly STG£4,000
I was looking forward to getting another recently - release the actor within but on the first night my MIL had a heart attack! I obviously didn't go and then I sort of let it slide - feel bad about it now but.... I'll do it another time

Absolutely wicked. I've been reading through all the replies this morning and there are some absolute corkers!
I must say you are a qualified (!?!) lot of people and I will be proud to call you my compatriots soon!
See - all this talent has left the UK, no wonder its in a state of decline. Theres no more trampolining, crane operating, abrasive wheel mounting, customer efficient, calm people left here any more!!!
Brill!
