One comment though - it says C on the chest, but still S on the belt...

Keeping the 'the' at the start of the name is way too formal

Piglet doesn't like me any more

I even skipped on my usual bacon sandwich this morning (though this has more to do with me sleeping in way too long as opposed to thinking of you)

But I would do it all again for you!

It's magic

Phd's at Research Centres versus Uni's
T

Even if you spend most or all of your time at the research centre, uou would still be appointed to a University (I don't know of any research centres that are degree-awarding bodies) so you shouldn't lose out in terms of facilities.

In fact these centres usually have better facilities! Some might prefer working in a much more practical and cutting edge environment than a typical University department. However the social life may differ from the Uni experience quite a lot.

Rothamsted is world-famous though, and I hear a nice place to work.

Never fear Insomniac, if you still want to observe the sun here's what to do:

Coastman's 2nd Tip of the Day: You can easily and safely observe the Sun by projecting it through a tiny hole onto a white sheet of paper.
You'll need: 2 sheets of stiff white paper, a pin and a sunny day.

Punch a hole in the centre of one the paper sheets. Go outside, hold the paper up and aim the hole at the Sun. (Don't look at the Sun through the hole!) Move the other piece of paper back and forth until the image is in focus. Or you could do the same using a pair of binoculars to project the Sun.

Being an insomniac, I was going to suggest that you could do this if you were up in the middle of the night and a bit bored. But of course it would be dark.

Coastman's Tip of the Day: Don't look directly at the sun or you could cause lasting damage to you eyes.

I would go and knock on your supervisor's door straight away. He'll be able to tell you the full story, and there may be some way around it.

Good luck.
