there will be NO PRIZE for you, for I am grumpy and sick of science and application forms.

Have some weed.

I seriously have to get this sorted by thursday though. On Friday I'm going to kick back in epic style*

*NB, this probably means drinking too many pints of cider too quickly and falling asleep on the sofa

Application deadline

How long does the application take to complete?

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Sun 14 Nov 2010, 23:12, Reply)

As long as it takes
one of them I can knock out in a few hours, but the one I really really want (at Oxford) wants a research proposal which is going to be a bitch and a ballache to put together.

Get Bob to do it.

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Sun 14 Nov 2010, 23:29, Reply)

Erm. No...
I'm sure he means well but I don't think it's appropriate to get a trainee primary school teacher to write a PhD level research proposal in gene regulation and epigenetics.
(berk, Sun 14 Nov 2010, 23:31, Reply)

gene regulation?
You should DEFINATELY get Bob to do it. He is in Wales now so he'll be able to give you whole villages of inbreds.

Apologies to any Welsh reading this

I have been saving the thc from my grinder for 3 months, I have 6 grams of it and have just compressed
it into the most lovely looking garage hash ever. It's just pure thc.

I thought you were trying to knock the weed on the head?

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Sun 14 Nov 2010, 23:07, Reply)

cut down. I doubt I'll ever quit

What was your intake before and what is it now?

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Sun 14 Nov 2010, 23:09, Reply)

About half an ounce a week,
prob knocked 4 or 5 grams off that.
I've cut out breakfast spliff for a start.

Well good luck with that.
How much would half-ounce of weed cost these days?
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Sun 14 Nov 2010, 23:14, Reply)

80 sheets, 90 if you buy from a bastard like me.

( SteveFrench Cardio is for homo's. do you even lift bro?, Sun 14 Nov 2010, 23:16, Reply)

That's quite a lot to be spending on weed.
Good luck cutting down to a level you are more comfortable with.

What you got on this week?

Get a couple of applications off for jobs that I've been invited to apply for.
Get drunk.

I do indeed
however I'm applying for PhDs.

Whereabouts are you applying? And for what kind of PhD?

What was so Oirish about that?

( Lampito rise with the moon, go to bed with the sun, Sun 14 Nov 2010, 23:09, Reply)

it's what Irish people do
when they encounter you. An endless string of questions. My grandmother was Irish and she never went back except for short visits after she came to England because she couldn't bear everyone in the village knowing what she was doing and asking her questions all the time
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Sun 14 Nov 2010, 23:11, Reply)

Hahahaha
My grandmother loves to know everything about everyone. It is quite tiring sometimes :)
( Lampito rise with the moon, go to bed with the sun, Sun 14 Nov 2010, 23:12, Reply)

All over the place
mainly Oxford, Cambridge, London (various) and Birmingham, for a four year PhD probably in Stem Cells/Cancer, 6 (5.5 if you want to be picky) and my mother is mental.
Next?
(berk, Sun 14 Nov 2010, 23:16, Reply)

Is your mother really ill
Or are you just calling her a mentalist?
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Sun 14 Nov 2010, 23:18, Reply)

Oh no, she's not mentally ill
as far as I'm aware. Well, much. She's just weird and very immature.
(berk, Sun 14 Nov 2010, 23:23, Reply)

Ooh, best of luck. Sounds pretty damn good.
I'm at the point where I've got to start thinking about the dissertation and possibly how that would fit in with an MA. I know it's a bit early but I like to be well-organised. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

Size 6 is blates where it's at, and my mother is the least mental one in the family.

The Oxford interview dates are 13th/14th December
The London ones are in late january. So fairly soon, if I get offered an interview...

I'll still be there
for a couple of days more if you fancy meeting up for a drink :)

Did you decide which college in the end?
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Sun 14 Nov 2010, 23:15, Reply)

Think I'm going to go for Green Templeton
for no other reason than it has tennis courts and the pictures look pretty...
