Summer courses

Was wondering if anyone knows of any cool little courses going on over the summer?

I'm a Xennial (so in my early 40s), female, bit of a tech nerd I suppose (no programming skills though). I like video games and creating digital art in different ways (music, video, graphic design), but also enjoy irl sketching

I'd love to do a course in stand up comedy or making music. Or even programming (I'm waaaay too old for the majority of programming courses, haha). I'm kind of a Tomboy I guess so not wanting to deep dive with any beauty treatment stuff…

City side would be preferable, unless it's a one day course (just because that's where I live)

MAFS Reform Ideas

I know some of you want MAFS gone. And your opinion is valid.

But many of us want it to stick around. Therefore ; here are some changes I would like to propose, please feel free to add to and/or critique :

~ no more pressure for anyone to be intimidate with their partner. That expectation needs to be dropped.

~ Intimacy week should focus SOLELY on education. The women should still be allowed to plan a day, but the men should be consenting to whatever the plan is. Mel and Luke had a non-sexual day out in the recent Aus series, and IMO that was fine.

~ it should be easier for couples to leave. This could be facilitated with having more couples of standby, and quickie Vegas-style weddings for such new couples so as to minimally disrupt the flow of the series

~ maybe the serieses could be shorter. The homestays add too much pressure (and are boring, they're the same thing every time). So maybe just cut them?

~ the couples should still meet their alternative matches

~ the couples could still share flats but have separate bedrooms.

~ Full time therapists should be hired, so if any more contestants are assaulted, but don't wish to disclose this at any given time, they can atleast avail of chat and being checked up upon. The 3 brides from Panorama, and grooms who Nathaniel alluded to, could all be invited to advise on this, and obviously propose any other changes they think would help as they would have a better clue than anyone

My vision of the show is for it to become somewhere in between what it is now and Blind Date. I know my suggestions are bold and costly. But it's a multi million £ franchise, so I'm guessing Channel 4 will be keen to save it too. Even if it does become less of a ratings juggernaut... It'll still be a popular show like
