Thank you, Gentlemen.

With a bit of luck it will still work when I switch it on tomorrow. :eyebrow:

I just learned that my son's wingspan is 4" greater than his height. Hopefully it's just that teenage knuckle-dragging thing as his height seems to be increasing daily

I just came over the top of the hills in the snow. It was rather beautiful.
Otley is barely icy, but once you get over the Chevin there is a fine dusting everywhere. Nothing significant, but pretty at 08.00.

I just did a word count on my thesis ... which i am about to go and submit to the RSA office along with my exam form - it's at the printers right now, I can pick up in about an hour.

Final tally (for the examination copy - it might shift slightly if they pass with revisions) -

Word count, including footnotes, but excluding abstract, contents page and bibliography = 93,531
Page count for the whole document = 270

He needs to fence epee.

Yeah, but how many different words, and how many words undecipherable to anyone after the 18th century?
Just kidding you Dana, congratulations on persevering to get this done. Even if they rejected it(they certainly won't) it's a great accomplishment.
For me it would be akin to peeling my own skin off with a dull knife. :blush:


Great idea Griff, monster needs another sport, with it's associated gear and calendar notations, in the house. :haha:

Not an entirely inaccurate description of what the last few months have felt like lol

Thanks m'dear.

Oh! and on the way in to submit it, I treated myself to a hot cheese and ham pannini with a latte. Mmmm. Very nice. Felt like luxury.

Good for you, ya earned it. ;)

Bravo Dana!

Glad that's finally behind you, eh? Well done.

If my calculations are correct ... and they are never correct. that's nearly 1/4 of the words you have posted on here whinging about it !

JK ..- congrats, Doc!

ouch....

Hehehe. I think your calculations are probably right :P

Ta guys. Though - don't speak too soon on the Doc - I still have to survive the viva exam yet!

Whatever happens with that - like Bruce says even were they to fail me and I not end up doctored - I'm pretty proud of myself just for sticking the course and finishng the thesis.

NFL teams always looking for defensive backs with that physical characteristic.

So wait, do I call you Doctor, or Master Dana?
