hmm, yes it seems odd that famous people, who trade on the fact people recognise them, want to change their face so no one does!?

I would like to point out that I was sent the article and I do not read, check websites or associate in any way with the Daily Mail! urgh!

Have to agree with bewildered here. There is nothing to prove that the person who got the funding isn't better qualified or has better experience than you. These things happen and it really isn't anyone's fault. My friend went for an RA role in a really obscure field thinking no one else would apply or get it. Another bloke got it who had a PhD in that exact subject, he came all the way from china - so you can never tell! I would concentrate my efforts in making my CV, personal statement, application as good as they can be and hope for better luck next time!

for any hills fans http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1244464/Heidi-Montag-Before-plastic-surgery.html

I will stop downgrading the forum now :$

a friend of mine aspires to being 'well read' and has therefore got a job at waterstones and has read everything of note! I think she reads about 10 books a week. I wish I had the time!

Right today I want to get done

- 5 qual analysis
- write results up for at least 1 theme from my previous analysis

GO!

Thanks Wal, I'll go straight out and get that :-s

With you with the Harry Potter thing - and I nearly went to orlando for honeymoon just for the rides, but the humidity put me off a bit - am a cold weather person (so I went to africa:p ).

The hills is addictive. My other half is always saying "but its all scripted" but even though I know that, I can't take my eyes off the screen! The english version wasn't as good though.

I think I like it because it sends me back to my point horror days, which seemed to be all about vampires and cheerleaders etc. I am also very pale and I like pale men, so part of me thinks that perhaps I am a vampire, I don't like veg (sprout) afterall! If I was a vampire then I could do my PhD superquick hmmmm, its becoming curiouser and curiouser!

:-x well done GB! :-x woooooo

ah yes, searching right move for houses £500k - no maximum and then drooling and then having the horrible feeling of eternal poorness wash over you. hmm

I also spend a large amount of time doing research, not for my PhD, but for other stuff, like "I wonder why X does y" and also A LOT of medical research about ailments I think I may have or had have at some point haha

you don't have to pay it back, well I've never heard of that, it would be like paying back your salary if you wanted to quit. In terms of qualifications if you quit half way you could probably salvage an MPhil out of it.

hmm - its warm, next to the radiator, and comfy and my other half used to do it when we worked in the same office (now he is off swanning around doing a proper job) so I have continued it. I usually go and sit on it to read and then fall asleep. It is a large flat dog bed though, about half the size of a single mattress - it isn't a basket as such haha!

I can't imagine post phd money - i can't believe such a thing exists, just a pit of moneyless despair

i've just posted about my twilight obsession. I also like to lurk on an old wedding forum I used when getting married, its full of chavvy freaks who get really stressed about napkin colours, but it can be VERY amusing and they all get into fights with each other and shout 'troll, troll'. I also like to move my dog aside and have an afternoon sleep on her dog bed occasionally :$

I am addicted to the twilight books and have just spent most of the afternoon finishng the first one. :$

I need a postgradforum intervention, but I think it may be too late :-(
