Algae, you are a Tom Selleck fan! One of my best friends waxes lyrical about his amazingly manly moustache, but I just don't get it.

I love Robert Redford: The Way We Were..... aaaahhhhhhh, now there's a movie.

is there a strange ratio between thesis length and nail length?
Avatar for Eska

My nails are growing pretty quickly and are long, but seem to be forming, naturally, a kind of spoony shape, which I file down. I read the spooniness is down to iron deficiency, so that'll also be why I'm working at a snail's pace at the moment.

I really like Slumdog Millionaire, probably best seen on the big screen though, I think.

I reckon four lions looks good.

No, I've never been hurt by a post it note, although Carrie Bradshaw from Sex and the City once was... and she was a journalist, spooky!

I doubt La Bradshaw would accept a mouse mat for her hard earned skills.

Have you ever been to your supervisor's house?

Just one more year, surely, and then you'd be home free.

I'm sure the Guardian would pay better, I may try them instead. Just saying!

Do you really have to go? Can't you say you have severe hay fever or something.

Yeah maybe they don't like my revolutionary talk on the other thread: 'let them eat stars' and all that

Oh dear Sneaks, that sounds like hell. Can't she do the decent thing and invite you when they're not there?

I know my supervisor has a wife and kids, and a father who died, just because he acknowledged them in his books, but our relationship is very professionally based, we discuss work or small talk like weather and the wldlife around campus.

I imagine him only in his work capacity, like he floats down to he departent every moring on a cloud of super sorted achievement in order to bestow wisdom and tell people off when they're being crap. And that's the way I like it. My old sup, who was awful, invited me round for dinner, introduced me to her partner down the pub and got really, really pally. But this personal aspect made the relationship difficult, especially when I tried to discuss my concerns with her, she took it as a personal, emotional thing, rather than a professional one.

Errmmm, we post our musings on getting a phD and Master for the purposes of advising others quite a lot already. Sounds like an excuse to not pay someone as a professional to me, and I get quite enough of that already thank you, without PGF doing it too.

What? We write content all the time! And if it's proper published type stuff, I, for one, would want paying properly, not with a crackerjack pen.

No prob about the double review, good to read your point of view.
