Stu - sweety pie - I mean this in the best possible way but i think we should club together on the Postgrad forum and send you away on some kind of de-stress spa break or at least get you some kind of action. You are soooo uptight! chill out chicken! ;-)

I'm not up-tight!!!

no f**king way!!

and breathe...................

i do breathe, i tend to find that keeps me alive

are you from the US by any chance? nothing derogatory just from some of the replies you have posted?

Ok people, i apologise if I come across angry and annoyed all the time, I really am not! If someone says something I don't agree with, then I will say so, but I'm not annoyed with that person, and if someone asks a stupid question I say so, as they sometimes deserve the piss taken out of them.

If you like, I can try and be a nicer person!

nope, I'm English

nah, its more fun your way

ok, but i really don't want people to think bad of me, thats never my intention.

blimey, its like you have some kind of conscience!!!

i do, i'm a softie really

we always knew it! must be those kitten posters and cards with babies in shoes/flower pots on them you have secretely hidden under your bed!!

pinned up all over my office actually

just thinking, we have turned this thread into some sort of chat room, how greedy of us

no, just think how much entertainment we have provided for all those lonely, fed up and pissed off PhD students there are out there. Its like some kind of public service. I know i will sleep easy tonight.
