[Guest]

[Accio Wealth]

How do card prices compare to EBay etc?

[olly]

Not sure, as its the first show since release.

Just 50 posts!!  And my server is going down in a few hours for the weekend.  Okay I guess I chalk up another *freebie* I have no shot at.  There are so many on the web now.  **wooooooooooo**

I will just have to gain solace from the fact that it's warm and I dont need to own a winter wardrobe.  **hoots happily**

lol Abraxas since this is the first meeting I am sure we could bend the rules if you are coming. However this meeting is in the UK and please do correct me if I am wrong but I don't think you are up to flying all that way Pig. Especially if you have to carry your badge and plate back all the way to the USA.

Yes if you are coming and have less than 50 posts exceptions will be made for this fledgling meet

Now that's what I call great customer service!!

I really don't think you should be calling people 'Pig' without provokation, Roz!

[abraxas]

all the way to the USA.

Mak  *sir*!!  I aint minding the Pig as it is short for pigwidgeon - and we are a downright cute genus - but as an Aussie I protest strongly at being sent to the USA!!!  ...  'specially as summer is looming up hot and strong!!      

ps the Uni musta lied cause here I am .. flying in cyberspace  **whoo  hooo**

[Roz]

Sorry Pig, totally forgot!  

Besides no-one in their right mind would do a PhD in the USA (just kidding but it does take 5 years (though I believe they do not insist on a Masters first...))

Humblest apologies!

[MakTheYak]

I know it's short for Pigwidgeon I was just pulling Roz's leg

How do you register to get a badge? Can you get one even if you cant make Memorabila?
And are they nice enamel badges (or the round tin kind?)

[Roz]

The plan is that we will do badges for everyone who has more than 50 posts in time.

Nah they are the cool 80s stylee badges we all wore on our bags at school - frankly - THEY ROCK!

(although I haven't seen them in the flesh yet).

All you need to do is to PM me and if you have a cartoon character of Mark's that you like you have to say so or you'll have a picture of a Yak on your badge

For the moment - priority goes to people going to memorabilia but do let us know if you want one and we'll put you on our "to do" list

Generally speaking, most PhDs in the US take four years to complete (depends upon the university and program, though).  If a student does not have a master's when entering the program, he/she will usually earn one after two years, then continue working toward the doctorate.  If the student does have a master's degree, then it may take 2-3 years to earn a PhD.  At least that's how it worked for most of the people I know who earned a PhD.

lol I was taking the world of some Harvard junkie on this (explaining why he had abandoned his home of New England for the old one  

He'd done a masters I think... I think it's increasingly moving to everyone who does a PhD has to have a Masters... well it's getting there by a softly softly approach - you don't get a scholarship and funding if you don't have a masters in the UK so it's pretty much a non starter! Unless your parents are multi millionnaires of course... last time I checked mine definitely weren't
