00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:30,560
Speaker 1: at computers to start with, in terms of courses on offer.

00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 1: one update. There's a course on that.

12
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:40,840
Speaker 2: There is so so many people are facing in October,

13
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 2: which is only two minutes away, the non updating of

14
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:49,199
Speaker 2: security patches, so lots of people are having to update

15
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 2: their computers. This is a course that just familiarizes yourself

16
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 2: with the new things in the new Windows and Office program.

17
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 1: Okay, so really good to know. Particularly for people who

18
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 1: might not be computer friendly, then certainly undertaking a course

19
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 1: like this teaches you everything you need to do to

20
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 1: stay on top of it all. That's right, alrighty Secrets

21
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 1: behind nursery rhymes. This is a new course, if you

22
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: haven't run one like this before, right, No, that's right.

23
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 2: This is an interesting one. It's an entertaining and engaging

24
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 2: discussion on the origin and history of well known nursery.

25
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 2: For example, bar Ba Black Sheet is about the taxation system.

26
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:35,039
Speaker 2: Who you bring back memories of childhood and discover that

27
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:38,320
Speaker 2: their meanings aren't all ways as pleasant as we their thoughts.

28
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:42,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, isn't ring a ring a rosy about the black plague?

29
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 1: And they all fall down? That's because they're all dead,

30
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:45,839
Speaker 1: that's right.

31
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, what are we doing to our children?

32
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 1: I know, or at least what did our parents do

33
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 1: to us? And I know that nursery rhymes like that

34
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: are all the rage these days, or maybe they are

35
00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 1: I don't know, profiling. This is interesting. Maybe Donald Trump

36
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 1: should take this wea course.

37
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 2: I'm not going to buy it. That's particular book. In

38
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 2: eighteen fifty three the Russians Nicholas One noted that we

39
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 2: can expect nothing from the West but blind, hatred and malice.

40
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 2: One hundred years later, Vladimir Putin expresses this same opinion

41
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 2: by his actions, by his own written history of Russia,

42
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 2: and by his speeches. It's great when you get to

43
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 2: write your own history, isn't it So you can make

44
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 2: yourself look whichever way you want.

45
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 1: Yep, yep, absolutely, and most people want to look good

46
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 1: in history. So yeah. Interesting developing and launching a new business,

47
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: this could be handy.

48
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 2: That's right. It's an interactive presentation. Students will be provided

49
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,080
Speaker 2: with a workbook in which to develop a business plan

50
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 2: and prepare to put it into actions. So this is

51
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 2: a really good course if you want to create your

52
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 2: own business or maybe have a bit of a side hustle,

53
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 2: which is all the rage these days.

54
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:08,799
Speaker 1: Okay, over to the craft section of the w e

55
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 1: A and patchwork quilting.

56
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 2: Four beginners indeed take the first steps into the wonderful

57
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 2: world of patchwork quilting. You complete your first lap size quilt,

58
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 2: the tutor will provide you with a kit of nine

59
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 2: fat squares. That's what coulting. In the world of coulting,

60
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 2: there the words we use of different color options and

61
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 2: you can purchase them on your day from the tutor.

62
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 2: So that's EXS One.

63
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 1: Are you a quilter? You sound like you are.

64
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 2: I have done quilting. I did stupidly some hand quilting

65
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 2: back in the day, and I kind of wonder about

66
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 2: the logic of cutting up perfectly with fabric and turning

67
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 2: it into little squares or heck sagonals and then sewing

68
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 2: them all back together, but each to their own.

69
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, that you're right, that kind of does not make

70
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 1: a lot of sense when you start off with a quilt,

71
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 1: you just make a quill. Okay, all right, let's let's

72
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 1: move on from that one. But still for beginners you

73
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 1: want to learn about it, that's the course successful self

74
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:19,160
Speaker 1: managed Superannuation. Yeah.

75
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,279
Speaker 2: So, self managed superannuation is one of the most tax

76
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 2: effective and flexible retirement structures. If you if you can

77
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 2: spend the time and the efforts, this course off of

78
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 2: significant flexibility to control and control for a retiree. The

79
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 2: tutor is an experienced financial planner who understands all the

80
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 2: facets of the topic, especially suited to those nearing retirement,

81
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 2: and wants to learn how an income be generated from

82
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 2: this structure. And I do just have to say, Matthew

83
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 2: that sometimes perhaps people should do this way earlier than

84
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 2: when they're actually planning on retiring, so they can get

85
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 2: the ducks lined up in our row.

86
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely no point doing this, you know, the week

87
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 1: before the week before you there. Yeah, I think so

88
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:09,719
Speaker 1: intermediate fermentation workshops talking about retirement.

89
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 2: That's right. So if you've done a fermentation workshop, this

90
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 2: isn't at the next level on. It's a hands on

91
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 2: process where the participants will learn how to make four

92
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:26,040
Speaker 2: different cultured foods to take away. Taste testing is included

93
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 2: always like the taste testing, and cements will cover kimchi, kombuchi,

94
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 2: and water. Students are required to provide some agreements ingredients

95
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 2: for the class.

96
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 1: Okay, and suitable for beginners too, no doubt, that's right. Excellent, Okay.

97
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,679
Speaker 1: Crafts again. Simple sandal making.

98
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 2: Now this could be for you or it could be

99
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:53,039
Speaker 2: a unique presence that you might to give away for Christmas,

100
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 2: because Christmas is two minutes away. So experience the enjoyment

101
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,839
Speaker 2: of making something you can wear yourself or as special gift.

102
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 2: And I've seen some of the sandals that people have

103
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 2: made in these classes them they are really amazing. Learn

104
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 2: the techniques to make a groovy pair of leather sandals.

105
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, and wear them out if they're I

106
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 1: always worry about doing things like that. I got to say, Leslie,

107
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:21,839
Speaker 1: and I'm sure your instructors would make it absolutely you know,

108
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:25,840
Speaker 1: be hands on and helpful, and you end up walking

109
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 1: out with something that is ridgie ditch fantastic. But do

110
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,479
Speaker 1: you remember back in art school. Back at school, in

111
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,719
Speaker 1: art class, we'd all make ash trays back in the day, right,

112
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,159
Speaker 1: and they were terrible and we'd give them to mom

113
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 1: and dad and they'd wobble when they're flat on the

114
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 1: table or whatever, and they look just horrible. In hindsight.

115
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 1: Mom and Dad cherished them, of course they did. But

116
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 1: I worry about if I was going to make sandals

117
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:52,839
Speaker 1: that you know, they would be horrendous.

118
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,599
Speaker 2: Well, the sandals i've been come out of this class

119
00:06:56,640 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 2: are amazing. One of the student sporting some standals for

120
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:03,919
Speaker 2: us to take some photos off, and they were like

121
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 2: a turk boy's blue and it was like, oh my god,

122
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 2: this is amazing. So I think you should go to

123
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 2: this one, Matthew, and you'd come away with something you'd

124
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 2: be proud of.

125
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 1: Oh well that's good, yeah, throw out the thongs. The

126

00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:26,720

Speaker 2: this one Japan's kind of high on the shopping list

132
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,760
