New thread as people are starting to discuss football and it's annoying.
Gilbert hasn't turned up for his dinner which is like Jeff not turning up for free zider.

Should I worry?

mmm nuts
i imagine this trap to be a disguised hole, perhaps with some kind of bait like boobs and computer bits and games(to ensure geekiness of prey). While down there they'd be forced to look at naked pictures of ann widdecome. By the time they get out, they will consider even me hot and will be like putty in my hands

i may have overthought this

Make the hole really cold and then they'll want a big hug to stay warm when we get them out.

Go to hospital
Find attractive man who has recently emerged from a coma and remembers nothing of his past life. Lie convincingly. It may be possible to create the perfect man this way: "No, you never used to like football before the coma" and so on.

Probably much the same as the female criteria for liking a bloke.

Personality, looks and all the other usual traits, the sliding scale as to how important all these things are is the length of time since the last bit of action.

The longer its been, the less important all these things become.

I have heard Not Good things about Oxford interviews. I'm expecting it to be horrendous and it is truly inducing some quite mighty fear. I'm trying to rationalise it by thinking that the worst that can happen is I won't get the PhD - I still have a job after all - but I'm still shitting myself.

Cake and cancer both begin with the letter C.

Correct answer Blousie.
Have yourself a PhD - If anyone questions where you got it from, say Jeff gave it to you.

Thanks!
Is that like having an ology?
(I helped save b3ta! girlinthehole, Mon 6 Dec 2010, 21:59, Reply)
No.
It can't be that good, can it Maureen? Nothing is as good as an ology.

that's worried me, I thought corrie was an old people soap.

keep up Blousie
I'm away on secondment 3 days a week and as such am currently at the massive house in the country with its own indoor pool where I live for part of the week.

None of the mental family are around to keep me entertained so I'm sat on the floor by one of the fires watching grand designs.

I wasn't sure how long you were away for beardy.
If B3ta wasn't so slow I'd stay up a bit longer myself.
(I helped save b3ta! girlinthehole, Mon 6 Dec 2010, 21:37, Reply)

the slowness isn't helping my cause here.

I'm on secondment until the end of March. I've settled in nicely. Only trouble at the moment is the weather.

Is Gilbert a dog or a cat?
Or a wunny babbit?

I hope it comes back and has a frank discussion about the problems he's having with you rather than bottling everything up and going to the pub to drool over the fit Welsh barmaid. That's just a slippery slope.

Reading journals / papers
was one of the bits about research I really hated. Once I'd finally understood the point the authors were trying to make I wanted to hurt them for their poor communication skills. That's computer science for you. Too busy watching Star Trek: The Next Generation and not enough talking to girls.

You'll be ace I'm sure. They'll let anyone do a PhD. And if they don't think you're posh enough to join Oxford, threaten to cut them. They'll totally buy it.

We'll see about the PhD - I don't expect to get it in all honesty but at least I'll have given it a shot. And bioscience PhD's are actually quite difficult to get on to, particularly at Russell Group universities! (my 2:2 may be a contributing factor to this)

EDIT - and don't talk to me about bloody journals. I'd forgotten how much I hate reading the fucking things, especially since they use so many damn acronyms it's incredibly frigging hard to follow.

According to him, every new setup/system or whatever, I'm not a physicist used to have the most convoluted acronyms just to spell out some stupid word e.g. one paper had something that spelled out TOAD so later research from another group shoe-horned in the definition FROG.

Some scientists should be smacked round the head until, well, just for their own good for a bit.

I've just remembered how lame I was. One of the first workshop papers I had published featured an implementation of my supervisor's already popular system with several usability improvements. I prefixed the name of his system with Nu (I was listening to lots of Korn, Staind and Deftones at the time - very little has changed).
