Had to pay this year's fees today...haven't recovered (neither has my bank balance)

Deepest sympathies artist formally known as Maya the ESRC & AHRC absolutely suck, infact they mother-suck [can I get away with saying that?].

Read a stoooopid article this morning in The Guardian online by a student reporter bemoaning the lack of funding for post-grad courses ( which is correct). But he had lumped PGCE's, his journalism certificate and PhD's all in together and said something really anoying about PhD being a fashionable way to upgrade your CV. Doesn't really help the cause.

Maya?

I remember Maya, she went around saying "what's she gonna look like with a chimney on her".

LOL! Featuring the Tamperer!

Obiviously meant artist formally known as mia.
It wouldn't be the same if I didn't make some sort of typo.

Good to see that the PhDForum Smashie and Nicie are back.
