Thank Gawd It’s Offal? Ornamental? Probably. But no, I meant Over.Except it’s not, really.
It only took 4 years, 1 month and 4 days. Ugh. And yet, although I say it’s over – it really isn’t. There is possibly another six months of life left in the carcass. Members of family and random onlookers are confused when I point this out – but the thing is that submitting the hefty document just starts the examination process.
But soul searching and searching for employment or chasing down seed money for a startup, as someone is hilariously suggesting to me, is for the morrow. Today I am off to … err .. have a massive hot shower, kick feet up and loll around in front of the TV. Hell yes. All I need is a pipe, comfy bedroom slippers and a tartan robe and I can be that grumpy old man.
And if the planets align tomorrow (and less likely, if GNER still functions); Ed should be visiting. So we can wander around York, get beaten up by the local BNP thuggies and otherwise have a merry old time. There is also a forecast of gale force winds for this weekend, which should enliven proceedings.

1. “I can be that grumpy old man” Dude. You ARE that old man, no need for costumes. Grumpy and old. that be you.
2. Aww, pedward is so dutiful. I love that he’s the one coming all the way to see you. Perhaps you will wear matching tartan robes and he’ll rub your weary feet? He’s a keeper that one.
3. Hips like yours are not meant to be caught in gale force winds. I fear for you.

Oooh I can almost identify with the relief after my 3 month dissertation but yours was 46 months longer so I dunno. Pat Ed for me.

Well done drac, and good luck for your thesis defense if such a thing is still necessary.

Also, if you’re looking for a good time I think this babe will appreciate the custom.

Thanks all. I guess it was relief of a sort, although I think it still hasn’t sunk in yet. I’m still dodging
