I have, for a long time, been fascinated by the NHM's mineralogy collection.

Is it about kangaroos?

Mackeith buys a PhD
Salamanders inspire Rolinski
Martin Amis gets a free Degree
and Walminski sucks on a pea

Robots 'ask' but don't say 'please'
People feel the credit squeeze
Meanwhile..
Aloha struggles with The Conclusion
Near dead from mental confusion.

Good News!

4 years ago was begun
By Dj Wikid just for fun,

"Last 'on' to post this thread wins" he claimed
Not spotting grammatical error - ashamed,

Now have we, happy blah blah
Rolinski, Coastman, Peasucker, and Aloha,

Distraction from our PhD
to Postgrad Forum we flee

(Walminski bended on one knee)

collapse to your knee?

Urgh! Mouth puckering stuff
Sure enough

For a PhD student
who's had enuff..

Rolinski skis
Coastman hates toast
Legumes get sucked
And Walminski boasts

The French Alps is another location
For Chris Rolinski to practice his/her formation
Not that I would know
Perhaps we should ask Golf Pro?

Walminski sucks peas...

Si, Chris Rolinski skis
In the Pyrenees
With great expertise
Speaking Portuguese...

It is not as simple as whether you are writing up a science or a humanities PhD - it is a hugely complex undertaking and as such requires determination, attention to detail and a pragmatic approach.

Yes, that's realistic. The closer you get to completing and the more scrupulous your supervisors are, the more you realise you have to do. The last thing you want to do is to re-write sections after examination.

It simply won't be up to scratch with 3 months spent on it.

3-4 months to write up is a naive expectation. It takes much longer. Allow for endless supervisor comments, restructuring, corrections, re-casting etc... 9 months-1 year is realistic.
