Rubyw is thinking nostalgically about childhood foods, after reading about Walminski's mishap. She recalls her favourites were packets of Dream Topping, spoonfuls of Marmite, empty toothpaste tubes and cold runny uncooked custard, but admits they no longer sound very appetising... :$

Thanks, Walminski! :-) (up)

Tricky wants a Curly Wurly

Sammo is glad he found the postgraduateforum and now knows he isn't the only one with Imposter Syndrome!

Tricky welcomes Sammo to the forum :)

404 can't believe it's already Friday. She also wonders who will be the first one to write here with their first name accidentally. ;-)

scienceishard is thinking that that means 404 nearly did!:p I apologise if your first name really is 404, it could happen!

:-) 404 confirms Scienceishard's suspicion; yes she nearly did that.

chrisrolinski is preparing teaching for next week.

Olivia is staring into space.

scienceishard is so tired and its only the start of the week. She should be super excited as she saw her first xmas advert on telly last night (DFS with Mariahs classic 'all I want' in the background), but alas even that was not enough to save her from this mon morn despair!

Tricky is knackered after a 4am start to travel from Durham to Norwich.. oh and he doesn't like the national express east coast train company very much.

Smoobles is celebrating having her first star! thanks admins, what a great way to start the week! ;-)

404 feels sorry for Tricky's 4 am start.

Rubyw has narrowly escaped being gored in the chest by a low-flying pigeon and feels a bit like an extra in a remake of The Birds.

Tricky is in the lab on a Saturday morning... Rock and roll!
