You first!

Did I ever tell you the tales of the cattle-transporter who had also transported ostriches...?

if you go for the art class route the skill specific classes tend to be better for recreation than general ones like a gcse.

print making is rather fun and very diverse in methods so whatever ones abilities a good result can be achieved.

My first job was as a printmaker. I loathed it in the end

So of my diverse qualifications one of them is a silk screen printer.
I also did A-levels in Art, Art history and Photography. I don't use any of them anymore and miss them.

There's your answer - get the camera out...

I may just have to nick BA's. Mine looked like they came from the arc. No DSLR in my day and I would miss the dark room.

My father had a full Hornby set-up on an eight-by-ten board that folded up against the living room wall when not in use. He build shelves underneath it on the wall and the track curled down so that the trains could be driven in to bed when he'd finished playing. And there was a hole in the middle of the board that you crawled in to and stood up in, to operate the controls. It was *ace*. The smell of burning dust takes me right back, even now.
