i'm interested to know why they thought water was radioactive? hehe

A cream kitchen cleaner should do the trick!

you could probably quite easily find somwhere that would allow you to do your GCSE in maths - probably for free. It's worth thinking aobut if teachining is sometihng that interests you

I have often wondered the same thing myself - but not deared to ask. However I have a great post-doc on my committe who takes really good notes -so i always ask to borrow them after a meeting

thank you Verdy - seems obvious now you've said it - bit of a technophobe! thanks

I think it best to address the problem and take appropriate action rather than sit on it and wait for it to get worse. PhD's aren't for everyone, and sometimes other issues and politics get in the way. I think it's brave to make the decision that is right for you - better than suffering for 3 years (assuming it really isn't going well) Life's too short.

How did they take it? Sounds as though it was the right thing to do, well done it takes courage to make a decision and following it through any thoughts about what you'll do next?

vegetarians and mooncup lovers! I thought i was the only one! How nice it is to "meet" like minded people!

hi
does anyone know if it is possible to transfer endnote files from one computer to another. I have endnote on my home computer but don't know how to transfer all of my references to it - any ideas?
thanks

i know exactly how you feel - i hate January it sucks. To make matters worse my boyfriend and housemates are all away at the moment so i'm all alone - well except for the cats.

hi
i'm 24, getting married in 8 months (will be at the end of my 2nd year) I started my PhD straight after uni. It's an exciting time!

hi
i would say it's worth an application. If nothing else, if you get an interview it'll be good experience. You can make a final decision if you are offered it, but it sounds like it has some really good positives, and it won't hurt to apply. You can always pull out if the other PhD comes through. GOod luck

i found the lovely bones very disturbing. It's compelling and impossible to put down but so upsetting and sad. I think particularly when you think about the fact that it's based loosly on the author's experiences. I've also read her other on "Lucky" and find it even worse, with regard to the subject matter, prehaps that is because it a true story. So not one for a bit of light reading!

Our book club read the Time Travellers Wife - we all loved it, think i'd go as far as to say it is my favourite book! Did make me cry though!
