I'm mixed.
I'm two parts proud Dad, having spent last night watching my daughter win the "Excellent Work In English" award for her school year.

And one part utterly bored and demotivated at work.

Woo! for daughter.

Thanks, it came as something of a suprise as she's not the most confident nor a generally outstanding student.
But she has imagination and, luckily, an English teacher keen to encourage it.

Second Woo! for daughter
...she doesn't fancy putting this to good use and writing a thesis for me, does she?

Thank you.
Her writing tends to of a more "fanciful" type. I can't guarantee that a three toed sloth with a pink mohican wont turn up and eat buildings in the middle of the thesis.

Quite, it's already more exciting than any of the bollocks I've written so far...
