It begins with 'T' and ends with the 30th September.
Sorry, it's getting to that stage. Woke up at quarter to bastard five this morning and couldn't switch off - decided if I couldn't sleep I might as well be working, and only stayed in bed for another hour because I knew I wouldn't be able to get into the department before seven.

The mighty badger's birthday?
and here was me thinking you'd forgotten...!

I realise it's no consolation but one of my students is nowhere fucking near completing by the 30th and I'm going to have his balls for a newton's cradle. So at least you aren't him.

_{Well, unless you're my supervisor - which, I have to say, would be quite a surprise to contend with given her IRL personality - in which case, what the fuck was wrong with that last chapter I gave you?}

Generally, you're supposed to submit a PhD thesis within 4 years of starting
technically, there's not much I can do to him, UK academic regs say you're allowed 10 years in total. But I can make his life unpleasant, as by association, it makes me look bad as a supervisor when people submit late.
