There's a bird on it.

Please explain

Why is it useful (or indeed, 'cool') to duplicate this on another site?

Matthew

Posted from 210.13.118.10

I'll look at it once Twitter fix their site/API, its pretty unstable at the moment!

R

Posted from 90.211.235.137

useful is a stretch, since when did something have to be useful? it would be 'cool'

Matthew

Posted from 210.13.118.10

Exciting new logo added. No, you can't reply on twitter. If you can persuade me its useful i might add it...

If you'd said 'yes, I'd really like to go and put the tent up first thing in the morning because I like putting up tents' I would have said 'are you going to Crawley before the festival?'

I have counted hundreds of birds. Most of them are alive to this day. Ten of them wear rings that I put on. One of them looks like it's about to explode.

I have also found a perfect Christmas present for both of you. Isn't that exciting!

Re: Talker - 'Leverage your work to go to the next level and achieve synergies... I'm passionate about this..lets touch base' you can't be serious, surely?

And how would I put up a tent I don't have?

Matthew

Posted from 210.13.118.10

Andy, how many birds have you counted so far?

I won't be able to do much of anything on Thursday morning, its far too costly to take a day off. I'll be able to leave reasonably early Thursday afternoon in all probability. I may go to work on Friday morning...


I think the paper I'm writing may qualify as one of the best examples of how to use a sledgehammer to crack a nut. Mile after mile of inpenetrability, essentially to get the same result as someone else.

At how infrequently I can reply to your interesting messages.

Cambridge never used to have an Apple store. On a similar note, Weymouth never used to have a Starbucks - it does now!

Will you be able to put the tent up on site at the festival in a good spot first thing Thursday morning, or will you be working?

Hello Matt. As I type to you on the computer, my radio is tuned to National Public Radio encouraging more Americans to travel and greet the world. My first step is to use my computer as a portal to the wonders of planet earth and meet people just like you Matt! Fantastic website!

I can't help feeling like I'm talking to myself here most of the time...

Talking with David yesterday we were discussing when he got a job: '
straight after Istanbul...'
'but I meant after you graduated...'
'thats when I graduated...'
'...oh god.'
:-(

Why did noone ever tell me that Cambridge has an apple store?

R

Posted from 213.199.128.148

Argh! The talker is holding a long phone call about a tooth whitening appointment

Never a truer statement. Bedford's one moment of glory passed roughly 25.5 years ago...

Note

All of Bedfordshire is godforsaken

R

Posted from 213.199.128.148

Actually that was a little unfair, it was perfectly good when not driving round god-forsaken stretches of Bedfordshire in the middle of the night

[open with a blood curdling scream of frustration]

After 2 years of telling me everything is great, after reading my transfer report and ok-ing it multiple times, and after providing absolutely no useful advice of any kind, my supervisor brazenly sits in my viva and asks why it isn't up to scratch and asks why I haven't used previous research that he had amble time to mention was available rather than letting me invent substandard versions of the same thing

The contrast between University and Microsoft is glaring and not in Oxfords favour.

Hmm. Looks like I've been missing out in PhD land...they have printers here that do your stapling for you!
