DanB., why do I sense that you are not talking about coffee?

pea, you might end up having all the postgraduate forum users over for dinner. That menu sounds delicious.

Good luck thecoastman / H, one of my cats hate Marmite, he even pulls a strange face just like on the commercials. I am secretly begining to like Marmite though, hated it all my life. / Bon appetit to you all.

haha Sylvester, no. Reading my message again, I can see it sounded like that. I've been wasting my days (this is the 4th day) waiting at home for a sculpture for my research to be delivered but it never arrives. I received a phone call this morning saying it will arrive today. Fingers crossed, it will arrive before I starve to death.

I liked DanB's topic on hope, so I wanted copy that and create a thread on "food". Mainly because I am starving at the moment. There is nothing to eat at home and I am stuck waiting for ParcelForce to deliver something. I know they would show up the minute I stepped out to the shop... So, what food are you having today?

Today's 2nd silly question - busy academics

Thank you driven2insanity. I have 3 supervisors plus an external one. This professor is someone I was put in touch with, through one of my supervisor's contact. He is quite important to a project I am currently undertaking for my research. I was furious at the time of posting to the forum but I'm calm now. I'll try him again tomorrow

Also called a prowler (or perhaps not? English is my 2nd language)

why sue? Is s/he one of those non-stop no-sense talking freaks? Doesn't he leave once he manages to enter your office?

I used to share an office with one of my supervisors. The amount of people visiting him was unbelievable; perhaps 8 per second. So in the end he built up a barrier from books and folders to hide behind. And as you said, we used to keep the lights off. I'm so glad I work from home now.

Thank you DanB. The good thing is that writing here stopped me from sending this guy a horrible email (or a dead duck through his post box)

you are right. What made me annoyed is that I called this person, but he asked me to send him an email. Now he is not responding to the email. Grrrr..... I guess that was his polite way of saying "I can then ignore your inquiry easily...".
