Moto, it sounds like you need a fake quack to help you find your mind :D

I'm sure there are loads of people with PhDs that would condemn an air guitar thesis but there are loads of PhDs on subjects that seem odd. Part of the problem is that you have to create original research and, in some areas, that is quite difficult to do. Also, if she's not getting funding...

I'm doing a PhD at the moment and it my subject (international politics) is looked down upon by some in the science environment because it's a so-called softer subject. However, I disagree with this because I'm working really hard on it and put in more hours than many scientists that I know...

Welcome Honeybee. What's Piers Morgan's autobiography like? Are you reading it because you're a fellow journalist or do you just like autobiographies?

I can't stand Ross Kemp and, because of that, nearly didn't watch last night's show but he totally won me over. I prefer him acting wimpy to all that macho stuff he normally does. I thought this show was better than last week's.

What a contrast - Ben Stiller, Samuel L Jackson, Kate Winslet...... and Ross Kemp and Les Dennis! I thought it was pretty good last night but it always takes me a while to warm into new series.

The Lake District is absolutely beautiful, although it will probably be busy in the school holiday season. It's also romantic - all those lovely views!

I loved all three of them and wanted to keep reading when I'd finished. I really got caught up in the imagination of it all and it was thought provoking at the same time.

I don't know if it's me being stupid, but I can't seem to get it to recognise my place. Does it only work for North American addresses?

The Outsider by Albert Camus. It's easy to read yet has so much within that encourages thought about the values around us.

Hi and welcome geneviv

Juliette Binoche?

Welcome to the forum Prolific.

Hi and welcome but I can't offer any help with the book I'm afraid. Good luck with the hunt.

Hey murraymint and welcome to the forum. I'm originally from Bedfordshire (the poor neighbour of Hertfordshire) but I hope you won't hold it against me! Jenn, I'll have to get The Other Boleyn Girl and have a read. I'm into Antonia Fraser's Mary Queen of Scots at the moment so am in the...

"Girl with a Pearl Earring" was very surprising to me. I know a few people who complained it was boring and that nothing much happened and so I hadn't expected to like it. However, I was completely entranced and thought that Tracy Chevalier created a totally believable world where I empathised...

Welcome Mark.

I was in the US for three and a half months recently and I missed British TV, sandwiches without cheese, non-biological washing powder and drains by the side of the road. I know the last one sounds a bit strange and maybe it was peculiar to where I was staying (Maryland) but the roads and...

I've never heard of any of these people. That's what you get for living out in the sticks.

Hi and welcome. Hope you enjoy hanging around :D
