how many people from the oldskool special reserve are still about?

I agree Heddy.
People should take their thinking off-road more. Y'know, Blue Sky Thinking and all that. Perhaps we should do lunch sometime, so we can square off the circle.
Have your people call my people.

Oh dear... you're still thinking so linearly.

Excellent! I don't know much about the Physics departments at those universities, but Bristol have a great repuation in most scientific disciplines and the other three aren't exactly low-runners! Good stuff!
>I want to be come a teacher and have tonnes of work experience coming up.
I'm impressed that you already have a career plan laid out, most people don't at the beginning of their degrees. What kind of level were you hoping to teach at? I've tutored undergraduate mathematics for several years now and found it very interesting, but I've never known if I could cope with teaching A-levels or below. Do you have any thoughts on it?
> PhD then, must be smarter than everyone here.
Ha! Thanks, but no, not likely. The slightly mischievious side of me wants to say that there's one exception, but I'll resist because, for all I know, Hedfix is actually one of those confused geniuses that invents magical results at night and restores balance to the world by being a raving idiot during the day.
Anyway, I really hope the Physics goes well for you. I know a few students doing maths and physics and they seem to enjoy both components, but other than that, I can't actually give any advice about the course. Good luck with it though!

I keep trying to think of something to add to this, then wiping it out.
99% of people on both forums seem to be ok with the other one.
I find different reasons to be on both, but the fact that both are so different means I'm still on them both.
um...that's it...

Well it seems some may finally, after about 3 years, picked up on what I'd actually been telling them all along. :D
However you appear to have missed most of it which is why this was mildly fun to dig out the ol' 'persona' gimmic again.
Because ultimately that's what it is. Perhaps if you took the time to consider that what you (and indeed many on PM as I've glanced over the IB thread) still see as a person and not an account/persona or indeed a collection of posters who post through the same account.
Open you minds.
Oh and try to take things less seriously, I know I say it every time but judging from the IB thread a lot of PM still doesn't get it despite the fact i've spelt it out a billion times. :D

Not yet, well, not this one. My first degree was finished almost three years ago, but I have almost a year left of a PhD before I can finish student life. Thanks for asking though!

Excellent! Do you have a place or is the application in progress? Any ideas which uni? Good luck with the whole thing!

Howdy hippyman! How goes it all? Apologies for the mess in this topic, I was just curious.

To be honest, not a lot. I was, a few minutes ago, wondering if I should stop posting in this thread, just in case you're some sort of fragile kid on the verge of giving up on everything and my post several replies down was designed to allow a way for the conversation to stop. Other than that, I think most Pocket Monkey users don't talk much about any of this stuff any more and much prefer the quiet chance to chat to the people they like. It's quite nice really. I'm not here now as some sort of crusade from the Pocket Monkey types, they couldn't care less and, I suspect, would actually prefer that I didn't stir the old Hedfix problem. I just wanted to come over and see if, all those months ago, they were right.
Sadly they were.
