Surely he doesn't plan to carry his junk through the Common, though?

Oh yeah, I forgot about that. Are we playing today? Looked like we had a lucky escape yesterday.

We're doing fairly well. Collingwood made 186, and England are 495-7. There's been something of a collapse towards the end there, but we should comfortably make more than 500, which is about as good as could be expected. |

If I ever move to the UK, Bermondsey is off my list. Eek!

Cheers guys, looking forward to moving in, and I know I can put up with the guy I'm gonna move in with cos we travelled round Asia for half a year together. We've been through quite a few scrapes!
And don't let me put you or anyone else off London Mel, I was just living in one of the more skanky areas. There's plenty of nice areas too. And nowhere else on Earth has more fried chicken shops, mmmm!

Make sure that you give us plenty of warning if you plan on moving to the UK so that we can all run away as fast as possible.
I kid. Gosh, that really was remarkably unfunny. |

What exactly is your profession? I know you're a vet and currently studying for a PhD. But what does that mean? Sorry if it's a stupid question, but I really don't know.

I make a living out of avoiding the real world. No, I'm a vet and then I was in private practice for 3 years (1 year doing the James Herriot thing and then 2 years just seeing dogs and cats), then I decided I had enough of practice so I did a 3 year residency (basically specialized training) in anatomic pathology and now I'm doing the last bit with the PhD. I can work in academia, in biotech, for a pharmaceutical company. That kind of thing. I can't wait to finish - I'm tired of renting, of not having any kind of investments. I haven't done any sort of retirement savings. I'm kind of burned out but I've finally had some things in the lab work out so I'm hoping next Aug to Dec, I'll finally, finally be done. That was extremely wordy.
And Rob, you'll be the first to know so you change your name and hide. Edit: In general, a PhD in my field teaches me how to design experiments and be a problem solver when faced with a scientific question. Last edited by Melanie68; 07-14-2006 at 02:06 PM. |

My dad keeps telling me I'm his retirement and to hurry up and finish so he can stop working.

Oh, sorry, don't mind me. I'm just coming by to read up on this thread, but I always forget how far I've gotten, so I have to make a note to not have to read a lot of ekstra pages.
