thanks Ann.

It is. It changes the way you think. If I had custard pie when I actually wanted plum pudding, that would stay in my mind all day, and it would affect my work. Let's demonstrate in Trafalgar Square with "right to right dessert" banners.

thanks DJWickid.

tina, I thought you would need to be postDoc in order to put research fellow. Are you a postDoc? I've sent the document to print with PhD Researcher (UK Grad seems to use that for PhD students). I hope I didn't make a mistake.

lol DJWickid. It's not a bad idea though. She is lovely. And that would mean good advice 24/7.

where's Ann when you need her :( She is great at giving good advice. Hmm nevermind, I need to send the form now.

Do you have a University business card? What is your title on it? Research Student, PhD researcher etc. I can't decide what to put. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks...

that's so true SixKitten. (so true? Am I becoming one of those people on reality TV programmes? How can something be so true?)

For a second, I thought Ed was Stu

Very 80s indeed. I remember wearing them when I was a kid. I think leggings can be hideous if worn on their own like trousers. But the 3-quarter length ones look nice under skirts and dresses with a cute pair of trainers.

haha Piglet.. The way you said that really inspired me. So here is a coastman exclusive photo, just for you http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k248/404_forum/coastman.jpg

The 3d production company who scanned an object for me last week had a newspaper called "Plastics & Rubber Weekly" on the coffe table. That's not a journal, but certainly a good(?) title.

sorry to hear all this, driven2insanity. You must be very annoyed. I know how it feels not to get support but this woman sounds like a very ignorant person. I think you need to have words with her. If you can't get anywhere, then take it to your director of studies or whoever she reports to. This is your PhD, she has no right to mess it up or waste your time.

DanB., you are grounded for today (and I don't mean the energy-related grounded). No more Postgrad Forum for you.

what if he thinks there is dust in my eye, instead of seeing it as a flirting action? Maybe I should just play with my hair, that one is easier.
