Best advice: visit the dental hygienist often (every six months); they are brilliant!

I'm using an AFM and its really developing in its field

Avoid anaemia - When you see it coming, cross the road!

Prepare to be broke!

End of the day, it's a title just like Mr/Ms/Mrs/Rev/Rt Hon/Lt Hon/Sir/Lady/HRH/Oi, etc.
If it makes people uncomfortable (you using your title), that's their problem. It all boils down to your personal choice: I haven't changed just because I have two new letters in front of my name (or three after it. Perhaps I'll even employ all 5: Dr Hypothesis, PhD) Personally I shall use it on government and banking forms (since they are so far up somewhere personal they can look out their own mouths) or to beat some irritating jobsworth into intellectual obscurity where they should all have stayed in the first place.

Do not place too much emphasis on grades alone - PhDs are more about the person than the grade. Brilliant students at school/BSc level may be that way because they have been taught how to learn effectively in a learning centred environment. A PhD is more focussed on the process of elucidation, you are not normally spoon-fed this qualification.
Rather, be more interested and passionate in your subject; be willing to admit you know precisely nothing and that all the lauded BSc demonstrates is...not very much.
If YOU think you can do it, go for it.

When I married my wife insisted on changing her name. Wasn't for the initial either: they're the same!

Ah, but airlines check with all "doctors" (who have it in their passports) whether or not they are medically qualified. Having said that, you never hear them calling for an doctor of engineering when the plane falls out the sky...

Ah but Olivia, law IS business... why else do we have ambulance chasing little oiks and QCs paid six figure salaries while emergency services languish. Methinks the law ceased to be about justice long ago.

The mind boggles.....

The grades help but a PhD is also about the person. You have to want it, have the commitment and be willing to do some serious graft.
And kiss goodbye to relationships, social life, money and ever seeing the sun for three years. I made that last bit up

I love Gillian McKieth! She's possibly the biggest charlatan going and I would love to hear what the psycho-bunnies on here have to say about her faecal obsession...

Ah, there you are! I was beginning to wonder if a trout recipe had backfired and randomly combusted all of Bleak Towers!

Never do it part time!

I-pod! With classical/Enya/celtic/thrash metal/etc, what ever takes your fancy!
