    There is this one. Its not to become a qualified mechanic though just home maintenance. I've signed up for the beginners class which start next week. This session is booked out but will run again after Christmas.

    If you call into PHD motorcycles in Galway, you'll find he did the MMI course iirc (I think). He might enlighten you on what's involved.

    I did a full-time course in UK 20 yrs ago in Soundwell College, and there are several others (Merton, Tiverton). Not something you can go into half-hearted.

    Ode To The Motorist

    “And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”
