First Meeeting with Supervisor!
A

Ah, I see, when I read "I have to put my 100K thesis into a one page" I thought you had been asked to precis an existing thesis that you had produced (perhaps from a Masters, although I did think it impressively large!!).

In the case of a future thesis, well I would start by drawing up a very general plan for your 3 years (what you expect to achieve in each year) and then write a few sentences about the studies you plan to undertake. Obviously, you are not in a position (unless you have a crystal ball? ) to predict your results! Good luck with your PhD!

So how are these FOM people involved in your studentship? (Apart from being age-discriminating fiends! )

Perhaps the university can intervene on your behalf? Are these people (FOM) providing funding for your research (or not, as the case may be)?

Does anybody watch television through the internet or without an arial

dee2005, please forgive me but I can't take the multiple spellings on this thread any longer

arial = a font
ariel = a UK brand of clothes washing products, the satellite of Uranus, name of Disney's Little Mermaid
aerial = existing or living in the air, a radio antenna

I'm afraid to say that if you are having difficult picking up TV signals with a normal aerial, you are likely to have similar problems with a PC TV card/aerial combo.

Have you considered Sky tv?

What's with the aerial obsession?

A

This is ridiculous! Plenty of people your age and older do PhDs. Is this in the UK? It is illegal to discriminate on the grounds of age.

The TV card for the computer usually comes with it's own aerial.
