Well you could always do a Gillian McKeith and do a correspondence course to get one :))


Edited to say: I never finished mine either, and it was a bit of a wrench the day I chucked out the filing cabinet full of raw data :)) but I hope if I had submitted it I wouldn't be sticking PhD after my name at every opportunity .......

I'm just going on my inbox over the last decade. Every damn one of them is a US resident. And it's there on every damn email they send, hundreds and hundreds of times. [i've been on some professional email lists since the year dot.] Really irks me.

(The only other place I've seen it happen is India, where a few people do it.)

People who fill entire websites with sentences that all end with exclamation marks! And even headings! And sub-headngs! All with exclamation marks! Everything! An exclamation mark! At the end! Hundreds of them! On ever page! Why!?!?!

But they are bad form


On a typographical note, my pet hate is underlining... yuck yuck yuck It only exists because typewriters couldn't really emphasise in any other way even if it was ugly. And now it's redundant. And still ugly

If I had GOT my doctorate I would have stayed in academia. But do agree that in other areas of life it is pretty nauseating.

1. the realisation that the weather in north africa can be worse than in london


2. the fact that I fall into the same old trap time and time again...



(when will I learn that looking forward to things too much just leads to disappointment??)

I did. And also that there is no proper name for the back of the knees. Now Vivien Stanshall WAS funny.

    • The tenant's business has already failed. If the landlord doesn't accept it, they can have a vacant property, stand in the queue of creditors, and get paid little or nothing. It's a gamble that the restructuring will work and the tenant will start paying rent again. Commercial properties are often hard to let. 🤷
    • An inquiry will put a huge amount of time and resource into looking at what happened in the past and why it happened and who was responsible and, in a year or two maybe more, a report will be produced and actions may or may not be taken, some of those responsible for bad decisions will already have resigned and moved on.   Given that we now already understand some of the issues that allowed this awful behaviour to continue unchallenged, my concern is less about whether there is an inquiry to examine what happened in the past but about what is being done right now to protect girls and young women from predatory and exploitative men in whatever race or identity they come in. Inquiries examine the past but don't necessarily solve problems and they certainly don't come up with conclusions quickly which is why they can often feel hollow.  I'd rather see perpetrators and those that let the perpetrators act with impunity, actually being prosecuted and an inquiry won't do that.  I suspect that's why some MPs voted against an inquiry. But do feel free to give me examples of inquiries that really made a difference and actually changed things in a timely and effective way.      
    • In recent consultation on further ED CPZ the majority of respondents were against. Fully appreciate you may not live on a road proposed for CPZ. If you are close to that area it is likely you will be affected by parking displacement if the CPZ goes in. I was just curious what James Barber's position on this is? Perhaps he'll come on here and let us know. He was always really good at visiting the forum.
