Crazy puzzle

Count them, then wait. Where did the extra man come from?

I am a turd!

It’s true. I was told it. By a very reputable source.

Oh, by the way, for all those reading not well versed in sarcasm, I’m lying. I’ll clue you in. I get a lot of emails via my website. Most people asking me questions or saying they like the site. I get a lot of random gibberish. And then every now and then I get someone insulting me. Well today I got one such email. Normally I just look at them, smile and then file them with all the other emails. But it was a slow day at work today, so I wondered about it a bit. Anyway, here’s what I got:

From: turd
Their email: uraturd@turdmail.com
Message: u are one sad fag

So obviously there are lots of issues with this email. Firstly, the email was from uraturd@turdmail.com - i.e., YOU ARE A TURD. But then, it’s from turd. So the person who sent this to me was also a turd. And then I am accused of being a sad fag. Well, OK. I can handle that. I’ve certainly be accused of a lot worse before.

What’s a little frustrating about this, is that I have no idea which part of the site they’ve been reading to formulate this opinion of me. I feel that sort of information would help me grow and develop.

The obvious question, though, is why I’ve even bothered to post this up at all. Well, it’s simple, and really it’s for an audience of one - the turd who sent me the email in the first place. Unfortunately, all I know about this person is that they’re somewhere in Australia… and that they’ve obviously got very little to do in their life other than send pathetic insults to people they’ll never meet. So really - please, Turd, if you do read this, get in touch with me. But this time, have some balls and tell me who you are and why you think I’m a turd. I’m interested.

Missed opportunity

I can’t believe I missed the opportunity to say this:

“You might be interested to know that I have a PhD.”
“Oh really?”
“Yep… a pretty huuuuuuuge di…”

When to say I Love You

When to say I Love You. Humourous.

WHAT A GREAT IDEA!

I love spam. But the timing on this was perfect.

WHAT A GREAT IDEA!
We provide a concept that will allow anyone with sufficient work experience
to obtain a fully verifiable University Degree.
Bachelors, Masters or even a Doctorate.
Think of it, within four to six weeks, you too could be a college graduate.
Many people share the same frustration, they are all doing the work of the person
that has the degree and the person that has the degree is getting all the money.
Don’t you think that it is time you were paid fair compensation for the level
of work you are already doing?
This is your chance to finally make the right move and receive your due benefits.
If you are like most people, you are more than qualified with your experience,
but are lacking that prestigious piece of paper known as a diploma that is often
the passport to success.
CALL US TODAY AND GIVE YOUR WORK EXPERIENCE THE CHANCE TO EARN YOU THE HIGHER COMPENSATION YOU DESERVE!

4-6 weeks? If I’d known that I would never have spent 7 YEARS at University getting my first degree and Doctorate.

4 years, 4 hours and 4 letters*

I actually don’t even have the energy to write a lengthy post about it all.

But having submitted my thesis I have now also successfully completed my viva which means (subject to making a few corrections to the thesis) I have done my PhD. And you can call me Doctor.

Not bad for 10 days in to the year, eh?

And for all the doubters, sod ya

* The work took 4 years, the viva was 4 hours and I gained a 2 D’s a P and an H. (Though of course technically I lost an M. Hmm.)

It’s picking up speed

First there was one and now, barely 3 months later, and it’s 4! 4 I tell you.

Of course, hearty congrats to all of you… Kriddy, Dyso and Laura/Will.

But I feel it’s time to do something juvenile. Fart willy bumflaps.

I feel so much better.
