Finished the jar of 5.2 out of a need to feel like I didn't waste money a month or so ago. I've been haphazard with water ever since, but out of sheer desperate procrastination I did some reading this week (after being encouraged by a couple of BAR guys to get into it); just mashed in and actually put some thought into what I added to my water (given that the grist included 200gms combined of black and choc malt), ph strip looks friggin perfect...a gnat's crotchet darker than 5 on the comparison sheet and no where as dark as 6. HUZZAH FOR WATER TREATMENTS!

Graduated from my MA yesterday.

Long, boring ceremony with hard seats, sore arse and pompous ritual but **** it still felt good. 5 years of my life I never have to think about again.

Good for you
MA is masters is what?

How funny are the hats on the guys getting doctorate's and the higher levels.

 

[manticle]

Hats are pretty spiffy in a non spiffy way.

Master of arts (Cultural Materials Conservation).

Coursework and minor thesis. I think they must have changed the award because what I have is now thesis only and many of the students that finished at the same time as I did were awarded a Masters of Cultural Material conservation. This led me to panic slightly when my name didn't appear in the ceremonial booklet alongside fellow students.

However it appeared elsewhere so it was all good.

Nice work, Manticle. Did you go commando under your gown? Please tell me you wore a gown...and no undies.

I feel your pain on the moronic relative side of things. One of my family members has been in hospital with a gangrene toe and possible amputation. And has continued to smoke ciggies. **** me!

 

[manticle]

Unfortunately the gowns don't make clothing invisible, except from the back. I say unfortunately but there was actually a large number of nice looking ladies whose formal skirts/dresses were of a minimal length so every cloud has a silver lining and some of those silver linings are lining some very nice, young, smooth, legs.

I wore a tie and uncomfortable shoes that I had to stuff with wet newspaper the night before.

I was naked under my undies though. I also farted twice and silently blamed the person two seats down from me. Everyone glared at them, including the chancellor.

^^^ Gold!

Congrats mate, awesome work on getting extra letters after your name.

 

[manticle]

Cheers all for the well wishes.

Hope all the effort manifests itself as some regular work in the field. I currently regularly work in a related but not quite as specialised field and occasionally work in the field I studied on short term contracts.

Currently listening to fairytale of new york, drinking a belgian strong (hey it's after 12) and got that small tear in my eye the song always brings.

Can't wait for April 4.

 

[bum]

Congrats, manticle. Nicely done.

Congrats tickleman. Well done.

Awesome day.
Ten Pin Bowling with the kids. 3yo nugget of a son almost dropped a medium weight ball on his toes = danger x 10.
Pushing the old barrel mower with my 5yo daughter = Danger x 20
Finished off the evening watching the crappy remake of Conan = all the blood that could've spilt today was transferred to this fillum.

On the sad side, my parent's put our old dog down. RIP Maggie. 15yo. A good innings for a dog.

Firstly grats to Mants, hard work is over - time to get PAID!

Seriously tho, grats.

[manticle]

Cheers bum, cocko, PF, etc.

Can I just say, once again, how much I ******* love music?

Yeah. Beer, music, cats and ladies make my world go around and around and around again.

Congrats on the masters... Nothing quite like getting that certificate in your hands after som many years.

And by the way... music, the highest form of art, recognised by one that practices the lowest form.
