I often thought, "Who reads those fucking things?"
Then I saw an advert for Robbie "So fucking smug I'm like a Northern version of University Challenge" Williams' most recent "book" with the subtitle "Exclusive to Tesco."

That pretty much answered it for me.

Who, as I'm sure you'll agree, all look like paragons of good taste and intellect.

I honestly don't know if we ever can
The money/gossip making formula works. The only thing I can think of would be the total, unanimous slating of all talentless celebrities by the media as a whole. If every paper, blog and tv show lambasts everybody on reality tv and talent shows, maybe it'd sway public opinion over to also seeing these wannabe celebs as being vacuous and attention-seeking.

The simultaneous deaths of Piers Morgan, Rebekah Wade and Simon Cowell
would help this cause a great deal.

There'll always be more waiting to take up their places.

And I suppose we're all guilty of it to some extent.
I, for example, have never actually seen any of Christina Hendricks' work, and can therefore not assess the quality of her acting, but that doesn't stop me occasionally doing a google image search and wishing could I have just one squeeze of those magnificent breasts.

She's superb in Firefly, even if she was a little smaller then

I am using my psychic powers to see into the future...
...the mists are clearing, it is not a good year for Jimmys...I see names and causes of death...I can't match them up though...

Celebrities:
Jimmy Savile
Jimmy Sommerville
Jimmy Krankie (real name Morag McHaggis)

Cause of death:
Bummed to death
Child snatcher
Old age

It's impossible to guess which cause of death will befall the above celebrities.

I'm sure we can arrange Cause no.1 for all three
Give me time to team up with Darth and draw up a plan and we'll have DA'ed the lot of 'em to breaking point in time for christmas.

You can't bum Jimmy to death, he's a Knight of the british empire
KBE doesnt stand for "(K)nightly Bumming Entertainment"

Or does it?

I have to write a thesis
when all my research proves that the amount of the work in the field is not adequete enough to provide suitable references.
(, Tue 11 Jan 2011, 17:26, Reply)
Oof.
If it's any consolation, I do know somebody who insists that she managed to write an entire PhD thesis despite having none of the data she had initially set out to collect. Any good scientist will tell you (as will I, haha) that even if your research disproves or invalidates your original hypothesis, it's still a discovery and therefore worth writing up. (Different field, I realise, but the principles overlap somewhat)

Can your supervisor/tutor provide any useful advice?

Well it's my own stupid fault
If I'd done the research over the summer/autumn like I was meant to then I'd have known and been able to change. I'm just going to have to blag my way through now. Thanks anyway
