I know it's not a huge help - but I am sending you a big hug. I am always advocate of meds as a last resort, but this is someting I know nothing about. I think its good and very brave you have asked advice & told people on the forum. & I think you should go and speak to your GP. xxx

Try not to worry FM - I'm sure you'll rock.

very best of luck.

lol @DJW. Do you remember Global hyper colour T-Shirts that changed colour with your body heat? Aciiiiiiiiiiiiiiid.

Re: the dancing, I remember the 1st time someone took me to a dnb gig and I was - good lordie I can't dance to this & my mate said just do a shakin stevens / chicken dance & I looked around me and everyone was! Don't worry noone actually dances to trance they either nod their heads or whirl around...unless of course you can do poi or fire juggling?

just have a look at" full moon party" on google images & you'll get the idea.
Seriously anything day glow, psychedelic, hindu imagery,anthing to do with UFO's, aliens etc on t-shirts & some hippie beads.

Jeans, a tied dyed vest top, flipflops & some beads would be enough. Dayglow face paints are pretty easy to get hold of too - paint something pretty on your 3rd eye! But I strongly believe fancy dress should be the only cirumstances that one dons anything tie-dye, so make sure it REALLY IS fancy dress, otherwise you'll just be a crime against taste.

Trance now that takes me back a decade -tee hee. I used to date a trance DJ when I lived in Tokyo and went along to a few full moon parties in Koh Phan Yang & a beach do in Goa , to sit wearily in the booth in my role as DJWAG. I remember glow in the dark bindis, anYthing with an Om on it & flarey PJ style tie-dye trousers were the rage. Tie dye is so wrong, it will never be right -but think hippy on acid.

that should have been a

I am soc-sci.
;-$ Although I have a vague idea I'm not really 100 % sure what a post-doc involves.
I have a had a few people say to me after I've presented at a conference that thay think the thesis has book potential & and one of my supers has said a couple of times I could get a good post-doc out of it- I was under the impression that it is where you spend a year or so exploiting your research, writing papers, speaking etc and the uni pay you a pittance in return. Is that right?

I heard from a friend that there has been a load of tabloid press about the wierdo family & someone who interviewed them said they really are woo woo.
Both parents have "other" kids from earlier relationships which they have abandoned.

Yes you're right Piglet. I hope she is OK. Perhaps she is just v.busy working.

Sorry sylverster but Paul McCartney gets on my wick. There is something very annoying about his harmonies & that hideous wig thingie he wears. Also I heard that at Live8 he was a complete nob and insisted on his own dressing room with a faux garden.

Today I shall be listening to Selector/Specials/The Beat/ Bad Manners

Here is a nice story to cheer all you singletons up.

My bf took me out for a meal last night and there was a a huge row in the restaurant. This woman complained about her food, but she was so drunk slurring, contradicting herself and everything. Basically she ended up being really personal & abusive to the waiter & they entertained her for about 20 minutes instead of throwing her out, by which time she had the attension of everyone in the room with her fishwife wailing. Everyone was very polite and british about it, trying not to stare but her poor fella looked mortified and could not calm her down.

Although UCL is a fantatsic university, I would go for LSE -its the best & will openmany doors for you. You'll make the money back when you graduate and get a job. Speculate to accumilate.

when you said dodgy I was expecting something like you'd sleapt with the supervisor after a drunken night out.

I wouldn't worry too much, if you are a good candidate they will half expect you to be looking at other options. If they bring it up just say you will be considering each project carefully.

Ah ha. I just logged on to post about the very same thing Ann!
I have just had a coffee and read the guardian & couldn't wait to hear what people thought.
