How far is it from my sofa to the kitchen (to the third cupboard on the left)and then back into my hallway?

Hmmm, is it a 2- or 3-seater sofa? Are you sat in the middle or near one of the arms?

Depends if one of your annoying housemates is sitting on the sofa and you have to go around their big feet.

What does this have to do with PhDs????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

It's a right of passage! A test of endurance!

Thats the spirit Doodles!!! Its a two seater and sat in the middle. annoying housemate has nipped to the shop to buy more fags so no annoying feet, but highlights the sense of urgency to find the answer as he'll be back in a minute and that'll mess everything up. Go go go!!!!!

12 metres. Do I win a prize?

not a bad guess Sue! I think you have misjudged the shape of the kitchen though

Before anyone answers, you first have to submit a 1,000-2,000 word proposal outlining your thesis on the socio-economic impact of moving sofas in the 1960s

Mia, Does this thesis in socio-economic impact of moving sofa's you speak of have funding? I expect at least 25,000 per year, a house with a swimming pool and a company car. Thanking you.

SIR, I AM MASTERS STUDENT AND WANT PHD ON SOFA SOCIOLOGY. PLEASE HELP REPLY TO BLABLABLA@HOTMAIL ETC.

(sorry couldnt help that!)

3 km

amui- exactly how big do you think my house is? perhaps you are not taking this "changing the ideology of fundamental research as we know it" question seriously enough?

How about 9 m?
