I caught Brian chatting about his PhD a few weeks ago on BBC Breakfast News. He said although he has lots of honorary doctorates, he wanted to get a 'proper' PhD.

'Respect' and 'big up' for Brian (and yes, good luck to).

Oooh - good luck! (luck) Don't you just love the sentence "a number of academics will question him about his work before any doctorate is awarded"

He he...good for him.

Patrick Moore is the man, isn't he? Try this link - very very funny (needs sound though):

What was that smiley? (crossed)

Does it says he's going to submit within two weeks? And yet he's still going out to the Canary Islands to do some last minute data collection? Tut tut Brian...

I bet he wouldn't be rushing it if he'd done a GANTT diagram like we all have to do

Just in the packing process for holiday myself but had to come back here quickly to say: LOL@Coastman. His GANTT diagram must look funny - with a time gap from 1971 to 2007!

lol coastman it must be a very long roll of paper.

Have a nice holiday o.stoll. Where are you off to?

Thanks 404. Off to mainland Europe, Switzerland, Italy, and wherever my bicycle and/or budget takes me. I got four full weeks time for this trip so enough time to forget about the "pleasures" of everyday job life.

hey o.stoll, check out www.veloland.ch for really good cycling guides for Switzerland.

Enjoy!

Brian's submitting on Friday...

Oh. Today?

Only 48000 words? And done in only a year?
I know its a continuation from work he started some years ago but seems a little suspect to me
