hello bioreactor -nice to have you on the forum. I'm the minted garden variety!

I am only concerned about people’s safety & well being. I don’t think mentioning something twice constitutes bringing something “up all the time”.

I have one friend nearly in her 30's who has abstained from sex for religious reasons & another who after several crappy relationships and putting on loads of weight has totally lost confidence & hasn't had sex in years! Although I repsect both in their right to control their lives, I also can't help thinking its a bit dull & sad & they have missed out on an important part of the human existence.

I think (safe) sex is good & there is nothing wrong with having a lot of it / different partners as long as both people involved are adults and understand the level of emotional attachment that either is or is not there i.e don't confuse it with love.
A lot of people poo poo casual sex or one night stands - but I also think sex can be a lot of fun & doesn't have to be taken so seriously.
Although I am in a monogamous relationship now, I look back on my early 20's with a smile. Even the bad times were good if you know what I mean. Its all about learning, becoming comfortable & understanding life is for living and sex is one of the things humans are meant to do.

Can you be a bit more specific. Is it Soc-sci or science-science? Blue skies or an application for an already formed research project? Funded or no?

Just be careful about the amount of personal information you give - you never know who might be lurking with sociopath or cyber bully tendencies.

I am in the same boat sixkitten, catching up with my data entry after not really using endnote for ages. It sucks as a task ( up there with ironing as far as I am concerned)- but its my own fault for not doing it more regularly.
Thanks Ann - I didn't realise I could import references from other databases - just tried & it works. Yey.

The landlord has to serve you formal notice via what is called a Section 21, 'vacant possession'. By law they have to give you at least 2 months notice from the date on your tenancy agreement. So if you signed up on the 29th of the month and you receive it on say 13th Jan you still have 2 months from the 29th Jan.

Interesting.
Have a look at this website about dreams. I am not sure how seriously you can take it as they advertise seances with Princes Di - but it's quite fun!

Chris I have just had a paper excepted for a big conference later in the year & the organisation sent me a pack with guidelines for 1st timers, as it is with some big names.
It suggests allowing 2 minutes per slide & to follow a clear structure of main motivation, essentials of the method, results and conclusions with a summary slide at the end. The leaflet also said "please do not attempt to read the paper" or go through an argument in comprehensive detail, instead concentrate on a few key points.

Good luck, I'm sure you'll be great

Thanks Pgf team & everyone else for your afirmations.

Cool!

If having a laugh is always at the expense of someone else, then really they should be a little bit more discreet than posting stuff on myspace for the world to see. I have seen their photos, know what uni’s they’re at. It's lucky for them, I am not interested.

The fact that someone else who is laughing & joking away with him on one hand, on the other actually bothered to betray DanB by finding me and telling me – says it all really about the kind of devotion he inspires. All very weird.

Thank you Piglet & Juno. xx

I decided to share it with everyone, just because I think it should serve as a bit of a warning as to who is out there & us all taking care giving away too many personal details. Fortunately I don’t really care but suppose I was a crazy who took serious offence and did something silly to harm myself, or what if someone got all heavy on my behalf and decided to contact their funders to show them how their time & money is spent on forums & websites, or tracked them down to sue for defamation?

one of "my friends" alerted me to a poem of DanB's which didn't make it to the forum

Pea, pea, she smells of wee
I'd like to stick her up a tree
Leave her there until she's sick
I'll get some carpet for her to lick

Pea, pea, she munches rug
She thinks she's so bloody smug
A stupid moose, no style nor class
I'd shove a mooncup up her ass

There was a fat lezza named Pea
On rugs she did munch merrily
But when she starts talking
The rug it starts walking
To save being bored right to sleep

Since H & Tricky were able to enjoy it - I felt it was only fair everyone was given the opportunity to benefit it!
