Got work to do!

Dalek Dave

Just signed up today for an OU Degree in Astrophysics. Gonna be about £15,000 but it is a proper degree, not 'Media studies', so well worth it. And it is a cool degree to have!

Not after a night at the pub with Nagy...

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies. -- Sarah Hoyt

Best of luck! I see no difference between Astrophysics and Wizardry.

What amazed me was when I was doing my Combined Sciences degree (part of which was Astronomy) there was one student who constantly seemed to get it mixed up with Astrology - and wasn't just trying to be funny, he seriously couldn't seem to differentiate between the two!

Well, it IS where a lot of people would really like to see Dave (not me of course!), so it's nice of him to oblige so willingly, don't you think? :laugh:

That is indeed the ultimate luxury : spending loads of money in complete uselessness.

Eh, how would you know that until you've tried? :doh: I think it's a real good idea actually. I've got something similar (albeit on a slightly smaller scale) planned for the future: When I retire, I want to get myself a doctorate in linguistics. I've always wanted to do that, but never had the chance, so why not do it when I get the time and don't need to work for a living? (Assuming that I live that long :~ )

No probs - just post a begging letter to the begging for cash site, and stick a link in your sig - money will come flooding in!
