Who is that chap you stood behind in the queue for your train ticket this morning? He looks just like another commuter, but do you really know? And what about that woman who's just used the pedestrian crossing in front of your car? They may just be people who are living quiet lives and not greatly effecting others ... but you can find some massive surprises!

I've got a couple of delegates this week from a company concerned with mobile phones. Great blokes, and being World cup time, talk naturally turns to soccer and some of the other more regular subjects that come up during social breaks. But then ... there's an off-topic interest in web sites and design (this is a Perl data manipulation course!) and it turns out that Ollie is planning to drive a landrover all the way from the UK to Australia in 2009. See Jenny and Ollie's web site for more ...

Listening to Ollie talk, it's great to hear his enthusiasm - and his enthusiasm for the VSO (Voluntary Service Overseas) cause that he and Jenny are hoping to raise the profile for. "It's a charity that helps set people up for the future" he tells me. "Not one that just feeds people when they're starving, but one that gives them the tools and the seeds with which they can go on feeding themselves into the future".
