HAppy birthday to your doggy piglet

They are golden Labradors.. My dog had 8 little puppies over the summer

Aww you remembered They have all gone to new homes and doing well.. One of my sisters kept one so we still see him

Hello Piglet.. How the devil are you?

Yep nice to see you back H

Ello.. Well I stopped coming on here for a while as things were getting a tad unfriendly and at the same time I was moving to start my PhD and things have been rather hectic while I have been settling in so I have not had much chance to get online.. Hope everyone is doing well

*YAWN*

I agree the forum has become rather dull. Yes the site is predominately for giving advice to current and prospective postgrad students, but doing a PhD and looking for a studentship etc. are both stressful at times and a site like this provides the opportunity to have a laugh with people in the same situation as yourself who understand what you are going through. From what I have seen the humour has been more or less censored and given way to backbiting. Plus i find it rather hypocritcal that some users are slating the actions of former users when they themselves took part in the frivolity. With this I am signing out good luck to everyone.

*YAWN*

I had a telephone interview myself for one of the positions I applied to... Just be yourself and be enthusiastic.. I imagine the supervisor will want to know about your motivation for doing a PhD, your background, why you like his project and generally just get a feel for you.. I know its easier said than done but try not to worry about it.

I can think of one former member who could have helped here.. but alas he has been bannedfrom the site..

Try looking back at some earlier threads for advice on this.

Just out of interest Golfpro.. if you hate the bumping up of old threads then why post on them?

And with these words the goat was set alight burning brightly with radiant blue flames

I missed this too.. Well done

Erm.. I am here

*Jumps up and down*

Dont forget Clara.. just incase DanB forgets to mention her

erm.. Donut came and went?
