The eBay course is being run by the college's computer department
A college is offering an insight into the workings of a top auction website.
Wirral Metropolitan College in Cheshire is running a pilot course based entirely around the eBay website.
Pupils could earn a college certificate from the course during which they will be trained to put their unwanted goods up for sale and buy bargains.
If the three-hour introductory programme, which takes place on 23 January, is successful, the college hopes to run it once a month.
'Cultural phenomenon'
Students will also be taught basic safety rules to make sure they do not fall for one of the internet scams which can cost shoppers money.
The course, which costs students £25, is being run by the college's computer department which says many people have mastered basic computing skills, but now want to have some fun.
Mike Haxby, who runs the department, said he was sure the 15 places on the course would soon be snapped up.
He said: "eBay is so popular that everyone wants to know how to use it and everyone loves to shop.
"Some people run businesses on it and others have made a lot of money - it's a cultural phenomenon."
How things seem different when I'm tired!
How things seem different when I'm happy!
How things seem different when I'm dizzy!
And how things seem different when I love you!
Deception, no it's a nother form of love.
lovely Adil.
random thought -I remember when it was so cold in Calgary that my little brother lost a tiny piece of his ear, It froze off. he was rather happy though, he got to stay in the sick room at school and then home to heal. I still have a place on both knees that go numb if it gets the least bit bitter out from those Calgary years. Where is Johnny Chinook when you need him?
What really made the walls of Jericho crumble?
And, what was the name of the city on the hill, with walls, that the Jews locked themselves in and while 'under seige' and starving, they drew lots to see who would do the killing in order to keep everyone from being captured?
I would like to read of this, but I can't remember it's name.
- Anyone know?
Random thought- :brickwall

-Most every can of mixed nuts contain ~Brazil nuts.~
(at least the ones that I purchase)
I had never developed a taste for the oversized Brazilian nut.
But, wasting food (in my opinion) is a crime far worse than
temporarly insulting my taste buds.
Not being a finicky person,
I had come to accept the thought,
that my lack of pleasure from the Brazil nut,
was directly related to my lack of interest in the Brazilian Culture.
However,This morning boredom got the better of me;
And now I know something that I did not know yesterday...
I had been chewing them on the wrong side of my mouth.
Party on Brazil Nut.
Who is Larry?and why is he happy?
Egads, why is hardly any one saying hi to the newbies in the introductions section? Odd.
Random thought of the day... because I thought of it all day..
Writing what I think is so much easier than saying it. Also, people can't interrupt all the time. They tend to to that so much, saying that they know what I´m trying to say, that it isn't necessary to actually say it out loud ... but it is.
People don't understand half of the things I´m telling them. I think that's because in a conversation one says more or less the first thin that comes to mind. They don't wait until they see the whole picture and thus miss so many important things.
While writing I can really express what I'm feeling, I can think my arguments over. Writing is just better than talking. At least, with family around. I should probably try it. Though I know we'll end up talking again ... and arguing ..

Nae tae shabby. I mistook Mozart for Mendelssohn and Bach a couple of times, but I'm sure they won't be mad.
Sometimes life is unbearable that death is the remedy
Sometimes life is so lovely that nothing else prevails
But life without you is so unbearable that even death is a tragedy
Have you ever been in love? No that's my tragedy
Absolutly rightQuote:

(It was playing in a shop this afternoon)
:D
My lunch looks like baby poop, when in reality it's chicken and white bean chili. It's to bland, the recipe called for green chiles and I bought the mild instead of the hot on accident.
Do you have dried chili powder, papya? If you do just tip some in :D
Thanks Night, for some reason all I have is Ancho chili powder which is pretty mild. I do have 5 bottles of the Taco Bell Hot sauce.. that may spice it up.
mustard powder??
what else ??oh yes salt have you forgotten the salt by any chance? becasue salt brings out the flavour, another trick is to microwave it, for some reason thiings get spiceier in the microwave:D

The internet has played an important role in the life decisions of 60 million Americans, research shows. Whether it be career advice, helping people through an illness or finding a new house, 45% of Americans turn to the web for help, a survey by US-based Pew Internet think-tank has found.
It set out to find out whether the web and e-mail strengthen social ties.
The answer seems to be yes, especially in times of crisis when people use it to mobilise their social networks.
New community
In the past, it has been suggested that the internet and e-mail could diminish real relationships.
But the report, entitled The Strength of Internet Ties, found that e-mail supplements rather than replaces offline communications.
"The larger, the more far-flung, and the more diverse a person's network, the more important e-mail is," said Jeffrey Boase, one of the report's authors.
TURNING TO THE NET
21 million Americans use it to get additional career training
Helps 17 million when dealing with major illness
17 million use it for choosing a school for a child
16 million use it to buy a car
16 million use it for a major financial decision
10 million use it for finding new place to live
8 million use it when changing job
7 million use it to cope with family illness

"You can't make phone calls or personal visits to all your friends very often, but you can 'cc' them regularly with a couple of keystrokes. That turns out to be very important," he said.
The old cliché that times of crisis reveal who your real friends are seems to hold as true in cyberspace as it does in the offline world.
"When you need help these days, you don't need a bugle to call the cavalry, you need a big buddy list," said John Horrigan, associate director for research at the Pew Internet Project.
The internet is providing Americans with a path to resources, whether it be dealing with family crises or finding a new job.
The reliance and accessibility of the web is creating a new social phenomenon according to sociologist Barry Wellman.
Co-author of the report, he identifies what he terms as the rise of networked individualism - where users of modern technology are less tied to local groups and increasingly part of more geographically scattered networks.
"This creates a new basis for community. Rather than relying on a single community for social support, individuals often actively seek out a variety of appropriate people and resources for different situations," he said.
More I say :DQuote:

Greetings, everyone!
While having a little time off, I thought to drop a little note, saying 'hello,' and changing a few of my options. Still receiving private messages, which I had several, had not crossed my mind until I came lurking this evening, so I opted for e-mail notifications of private messages.
Anyway, despite usual business, I have still read plenty, recently finishing Finnegans Wake by James Joyce . . . at least I think I finished reading it (those who have read it will understand). Take care, everyone, and hopefully I can sign in a little more often if time permits. :)
The bad thing about sleeping 12 hours is your still tierd when you get up :yawnb:
Yay, good to hear from you, Mono! Hope your studies are coming along well.

I don't think you can ever 'finish' Finnegan's wake. I don't know how you wrestled thru that with all your many calls in life. I think it was not so very long ago that you said you were going to try to read it.
thankyou for dropping in, bringing a breath of spring air and new mown grass and the cries of baby birds in their nests into our forum dear Mono :D
I am reflecting on the beauty and wonder of the snowflake. It is incomprehensible to me that each is like a fingerprint, unique and different from it's fellows. And to see them wafting down silently in the dark icy night is otherwordly.
People will believe in anything as long as you compliment/flatter them!!!
Life is too short but we realise it till the end
The wolrd is too vast but people are fighting for a small corner
Your beauty is a shining sun that eyes can't see

Mums are usually right, Cheesecake is a faffy and dificult dish to make (espcially at half past midnight :D ) and I appreciate both more than ever :D
floppy disks are rather magical
