Congratulations Dr Satchi, great news. You always sound very upbeat - very well deserved I'm sure

I can get it if you still want it Lindalou - have sent you a pm

oh gosh Ailicec, so sorry I missed this - many congrats on successfully coming through the viva and gaining your doctorate, and now ever more congrats on the exciting new postdoc.

Best

Ady :)

I did a 5 minute presentation at the start of my viva. I would have preferred more but five mins was all that I was allowed. I used 'I' throughout but then mine was a solo project. I put my funding body on the title slide as per a conference presentation and let that be enough - I didn't directly refer to it.

Ailicec, I think you are studying in the same region as me although at a different uni - you come up on my LinkedIn page!). If you want to pm me I am happy to share the 'gory' details!! Actually they weren't too gory and the presentation worked in that it got me speaking at the start. Whether it really added anything extra to the viva itself I am less convinced about. My external examiner said he enjoyed it and that it was first for him to have a presentation at a viva so that was a good talking point!

Best of luck with it

Thanks Pootle, it looks quite useful :)

Thank you for the bump up Reenie although the lack of views to the thread really don't look promising! Not to worry... :)

I am hoping somebody can point me to sources (in English) about house prices in Japan. My son is looking for data or commentary on "historic Japanese house prices, average annual income and possibly some personal debt statistics" as he is doing a comparative study on the housing market in Ireland with that of Japan.

Thanks to anybody who can point me/him in the right direction :)

I can send this to you if you pm an email - sorry, I don't know how to do it any other way :)

on its way to you :)

sure, I can get it for you - can you pm me your email as I had to change email providers and lost a lot of my old addresses :(

PhD success indeed Dr Beth - many congratulations :)

WooHoo Dr HuHu, many congratulations on your brilliant achievement, I am thrilled for you and my best wishes with the new job :)

I should be able to get them for you if you want to pm me which ones you want and where to send them

Have emailed it to you Podge :)
