Very good. I can never bring myself to write things like 'ROFL' and 'LOL', but if I could you'd have earned them!

I dunno though, I feel a bit sorry for the people who post on here asking for help dreaming up topics. It's hard when you're 'out of the loop' one way or another - not already studying, or studying in the wrong place, and hence without people around you to give you an idea of what PhD students are working on in your area and so on. I know there's always Google, but it's sometimes surprisingly unhelpful, and certainly no substitute for networking or one-to-one advice... I remember desperately trying to find some helpful examples of research proposals and Cases for Support online while I was applying for my PhD, just so I could get some vague idea of what was expected of me, and getting absolutely nowhere.
