Dear Postgraduate forum team, I've never begged for anything in my life before, but please may I have one star, please? I think I deserve it since I maintain the Last Person to Post on the Thread Wins thread, by usually always being the last person to post on the thread (for periods of time) and I have absolutely nothing to show for my proper PhD work so far, so a star would go someway to redressing that. Further, I've been posting for over a year now, and although most of my posts are just crap and useless, there are a couple of good nuggets. Oh, and my mum's dog died a year ago and I got cramp in one of my legs today...
