Hey thanks so much to you all for your input.
I will be reading through what you posted, I have already enrolled on the
edx course that starts in January - free to do so might be worthwhile to
share that...
I just received a copy of Linux Foundation for Beginners By Ahmed Ali
Shlule, it looks great and I have seen that a college in the UK is
following his exact, and I do mean exact content on their courses and
charging ?999 for the privilege, not bad for a book that costs ?12.99.
Still that is the slashed price - they claim to have reduced it from ?1500
originally.
I'm intrigued about your meetings in Bristol... What happens? I'm in Frome
so it'd be a real trip to the big city for me..

If online study works for you you could look at Linux Academy (https://linuxacademy.com)
It is ~$200/year and works well for some people.
Much of their material specifically targets the LPI certifications.

Oops, the reason that the course I mentioned has the exact same content as
the book is that the author owns the training company.

In VLC http://git.videolan.org/?p=vlc.git;a=blob;f=modules/misc/inhibit/dbus.c
On my system I can get the same behaviour (temporarily) using
qdbusviewer and calling the org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver interface's
Inhibit() method. (the application has to remain connected to dbus)
Both files in the directory are useful for other Desktop environments.

.. or tree decorations, if you drill a small hole and attach a string.
I've also seen more ambitious people with a lot of time to spare making
curtains/wall covers out of old CDs and DVDs by drilling in four small
holes and using jewellery pliers to wire them together.
