00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 2: German descent.

21
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right. Providing reliable income in retirement. What a

22
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:10,039
Speaker 1: handy course this would be for a lot of people.

23
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 2: This is a fantastic course. I've actually done it myself

24
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 2: and it's looking at how you can create reliable income

25
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 2: in retirement, can you in fact afford to retire, and

26
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 2: how to navigate the superannuation investment and government rules. That

27
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:32,559
Speaker 2: is complete maze for those people. It's a popular course.

28
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 2: We've been running it twenty five years and it provides

29
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 2: the people who attend with the real tools to help

30
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:44,960
Speaker 2: tackle complex decisions that retire e faith. And it's for everyone.

31
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 2: And I will actually suggest people should be doing this

32
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 2: course in their dirty.

33
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 1: All right, there we go, some good advice.

34
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 2: To get their ducks lined up in a row. The

35
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 2: earlier start, the less you work you actually have to do.

36
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 1: I think that's so true. Actually, just a bit of

37
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 1: thought into it. And you know, in your thirties you

38
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 1: don't want to hear the words superannuation. That's that's for

39
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 1: another generation. But you get to the point where you

40
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 1: wish you had thought about this a lot earlier. So yeah,

41
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 1: great advice, Leslie. Now here's something else I think this

42
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 1: course it's a little bit sad, but nevertheless something we

43
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 1: all have to think about at some stage. Funeral planning

44
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,679
Speaker 1: and celebrating a life last that's right.

45
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 2: This is another must to course. Before you actually need

46
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 2: to either plan a funeral for yourself or for a

47
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 2: loved one, So don't die until you've actually enrolled in

48
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:44,119
Speaker 2: taken this course. It's if you're pre planning your funeral

49
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 2: or planning a loved one's funeral, it can be exceptionally challenging.

50
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 2: When you're distressed, you're also vulnerable emotionally and financially. The

51
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,920
Speaker 2: course will review all the mandatory components of funeral planning,

52
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 2: plus the services offered by the funeral industry and online

53
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 2: service providers, differing charges for similar services, common pitfalls, and

54
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 2: you're right. This is a frank review of the funeral

55
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 2: and disposition in disposition industries in which there is a

56
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:19,079
Speaker 2: duty of care, so must know information for those who

57
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 2: might have to play on a funeral in the future.

58
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 2: Always best if you have the information in the cold,

59
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 2: hard light of day, when you're not actually needing to

60
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 2: use it, so that when you perhaps do need to

61
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 2: use it at some point, perhaps suddenly you've actually got

62
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 2: some ideas in your mind as to the things you

63
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 2: actually have to doversus the things they try to tell

64
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 2: you you need to do.

65
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,280

Speaker 2: and evaluate sparkling wines from other French regions from Europe,

92
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 2: Australia and New Zealand, and then you can decide whether

93
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 2: any can match Champagne. The participants will also consider the

94
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 2: sparkling wine making methods that are involved, and you taste

95
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 2: least nine wines. Much guest to take public transport for

96
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:45,920

Speaker 1: Wonderful. All right, how about resin cheese board and coasters.

110
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 1: This is obviously making them.

111
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 2: It is making them, and because they take twenty four

112
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 2: hours to set, we get to see them as people

113
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 2: are coming back to pick them up and there's some

114
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:44,159

Speaker 2: techniques in prepping a demonstration will be provided first, and

120
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 2: then you create your own paddle board and forecoasters from

121
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 2: beginning to end. So then you get to take them

122
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 2: home and either use them or perhaps give them as

123
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:14,320

00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 2: A healthy garden requires good soil management, which we rarely

138
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 2: think about what goes on underground and how to concentrate

139
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 2: on the plant growth above the ground. But make sure

140
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:22,200

Speaker 1: Yeah, brilliant introduction to banjo. There's another variation on courses.

144
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 1: We've gone from food in Italy and German language and

145
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,200
Speaker 1: computer stuff and now banjo playing.

146
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 2: Banjo is originally an African instrument. It's versatile and suited

147
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 2: different styles of music, easy to learn and sounds the

148
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 2: best played with a simple finger picking technique. Learn about

149
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 2: tea centers, chord changes and melodies. And you don't have

150
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 2: to be able to read music to do this course.

151
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:02,599
Speaker 2: How good is that?

152
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 1: That is good? All right? Maybe this one's good too.

153
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 1: If you want to learn touch typing, you can do

154
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 1: it in two days at the w e A.

155
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:16,560
Speaker 2: Indeed, you can. Typing is a really important skill as

156
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:19,960
Speaker 2: somebody who had a very very high type and speed

157
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:21,959
Speaker 2: back in the day, I'm not sure it's still there now.

158
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 2: And if you can type faster than you can write,

159
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 2: then things take half the time to actually complete. So

160
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 2: this is for those who need to learn to type

164
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 2: take a piece of paper over the top of you of your

165
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 2: keyboard so you can't look.

166

Speaker 1: Oh really okay, So look.

167
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 2: People attempted to look and then they're not actually touch typing.

168
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 2: So when you're learning, you put a piece of paper

169
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 2: over the top of your hands, go between the paper

170
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 2: and the thing. Then you can't cheat.

171
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 1: Really okay. Oh you know, if I wasn't looking at

172
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:14,680
Speaker 1: what I'm typing, I just have letters, just vague random letters.

173
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,000
