Survived intact

Well that went pretty well I thought [and, more importantly, so did a few other people, including my supervisors]. There were a couple of the inevitable sticky questions at the end, but also some suggestions as to interesting directions to go with my work.

But obviously the first direction I’m going is pubwards. I leave you with the highlights of my talk.

Dammit, I meant to come wish you luck this morning but had to go to a meeting. So glad all went well. The slides are very impressive. Pretty pictures n stuff. ‘Course, you lost me after the word Solving. But still…

That’s fantastic. I understand every single word of it. So long, that is, as every single word is isolated and taken out of context, left on it’s own. Then I can understand them all. String them together like you have there and it just becomes meaningless nonsense. :o)

hey, wait a minute. if mathematicians start stringing together meaningless nonsense, then what will that leave for us english majors to do?

Nice. I really regret not going back and doing a Physics PHD. No, really. Honest.

Re #6: Being a pub landlord, I’m sure you’re already an expert on this, and many other things besides.

Aaargh! Equations - they burn, they burn! On the plus side, I do recognise all of the Greek letters used. You know that you’re in for a bad time if there are Greek characters in an equation that you didn’t even know existed. Glad it went well, though.
