I found this hilarious article by Guardian's Charlie Brooker.

Caffeine might cause you to be even more distractable....water is best. Maybe some tea. I usually go to a library.

I like to have a mug of hot milk, and dip the dark chocolate in so it starts melting and then put it in my mouth......it takes away the bitterness. Sooooooooooo goood in bed with a dvd.

Try dark chocolate...I think its meant to be healthier. I eat nuts, and bombay mix.... With about 5 cups of tea a day!

A question:

When I want to input multiple references into one set of brackets e.g.

(Donaldson et al., 1999; Smith et al., 1999)

RefMan doesn't put a space between them. i.e. after the semicolon.

I can't find anywhere how to change this to how it should be....I've searched the help topics and online....

:-(

to grob, yes you can.

Two electrons were walking down the street, one starts panicking and says to the other wait I've lost a couple of electrons, we'll have to stop and look for them, lets retrace our steps. The other atom says, are you sure? 'yes I'm positive'.

Man I cracked up hearing that.

Thanks, thats a really good point. I hope it didnt seem like a silly question, but I find big decisions so hard to make! Thanks for puting it into perspective. I guess I only really want this one as I like the topic. Worst comes to worst they say they may emply me as research ast. and then try again. I suppose I won't apply for others....for now anyway.

Thanks again.

I have something bugging me. I have been offered a PhD by my current MSc supervisor at UCL. Its great and I said yes. But they asked me quite late and are only just submitting an application for a grant/funding from MRC/Wellcome. So we won't hear until possibly December whether we have the money. I'm quite confident they can get it as they're a very good research group and quite popular with lots of money. But what if I get a streak of bad luck and it doesn't work out? I'll be stuck taking a year out? Should I, this autumn, apply for other PhDs starting in 2008? Can you state in an application form the reason for the year out was because of an unfortunate circumstance regarding funding for a different PhD?

Also, isn't there a certain time by which new PhD students should register in 2007? Would that be a problem? I know nothing about this whole process and its not easy to talk to my supervisors about it because, well, they're not so talkative lol!

Eeek. I don't want to get a job for a year!

Yup. I'm there with you on the working tonight thing. I have an exam a week on monday. Eeeek.

Yeh can't sleep after drinking tea!

Mmmmmm.....

you're pet's name? A pet's name? Fluffy?

Enjoy.

Hmm chick peas you can buy ready-soaked in a can.

Cook them after sauteeing onions and spices and mustard seeds, then add a can of tomato puree.

Heres one I made earlier.....





My flatmate does the fruityogcereal thing. She cuts up some apple/pear/banana, top with yog, top with granola....et voila.

Google veggie recipes.

One time (at band camp) I was registering at a doctors surgery. And they only take on new patients between 10am and 11am. It was 2 minutes to 11am and receptionist wouldn't let me register. Cow. Then she calls me back as I walk off, changes her mind and says do you have all the documentation? I says yes. Then she says...well have you brought a urine sample with you?

!??!

Errrr no, I said. She hands me a little container to fill up for when I next come back. I went to another surgery instead.
