For a number of years I have been almost afraid to stand up for myself and speak my mind, a psychologist told me I should look at attending some assertiveness courses.
So I looked on line and seen there was a world renowned male assertiveness lecture being put on in Cardiff University by a Dr Shmiechel from Germany. I registered my interest and sent off my course fee of forty five pounds, and f**k me first post this morning I had a letter with a refund, telling me the course has been cancelled because Dr Schmiecel's wife insisted he take her on a shopping trip to Vienna instead.
