Hello All,
I would hate to send the cat amongst the pigeons - however, I think if the diagnostic tests for the old rating of Asperger's syndrome (299.80 DSM-IV) was attached to this website there would be a damn good strike rate. You know - Land Rovers are pretty quirky and eccentric sort of vehicle, especially the Series ones, that attracts a particular sort of person. Just saying....
Kind regards
Lionel

Perhaps as we are cooking sand crabs on the beach, after netting them , Sth. Aus. style. Always wanted to do that. If you haven't eaten mud crab cooked in the coals, you haven't lived. Only one rule, no mention of COVID , or politics. Or is that two? :unsure:Quote:

As there is no point intending to submit a thesis which has the incorrect title.
Waiting - waiting - waiting. I checked the email today and bingo. Thesis title changes approved. Five minutes later I was filling in the Intention to Submit Thesis form and pressing "send". When the ball enters my court I do not hesitate to lob it back into their court.
The university is shutting down on the 24th of December and will not re-open until the 6th of January. I cannot submit something that my Principal supervisor has not approved .... waiting .... waiting ... check emails.... waiting .... waiting ... Check emails ... waiting... waiting ...

Hello All,
After sending the proof-read version of my thesis to my supervisors back in November I waited patiently - well not very patiently - until I received the feedback yesterday morning - Monday the 24th of January. After a 2:00 am stint that finished Monday's work off - I grabbed some sleep and got stuck into the task again today. About 15 minutes ago I wrote an email and attached what I hope will be the last 'tracked changes' draft of the thesis.
Once the ball bounces into my court I do not muck around in getting the ball lobbed back into their court again.
Now, I just have to wait patiently again to see if I can proceed to making a final draft without any tracked changes so the document can be sent for examination. Fingers crossed!
Meanwhile .... waiting .... waiting ....waiting .... sigh! Tomorrow - Australia Day I will occupy myself by mowing the paddock.
Kind regards
Lionel
Good Luck, Lionel. Perhaps you should use the forum sobriquet 'Gwen Meredith'?[smilebigeye]

I am now numbing my brain with YouTube viewing. Damn Word and its hidden codes. It took me the better part of this morning working out glitches. The air turned blue only a couple of times. I also learnt a new Word trick. If you go into Find/Replace click on the Find box and tap the spacebar twice. Then click on the Replace box and tap the spacebar once and go to Find next it locates all the places where there are double instead of single spaces between words. There is an option to "Replace All" automatically. However, I have used Replace All before and then had to repair documents when the automatic changes ripped things apart and required patching up. Find Next moves to the next occurrence and you can see what will happen when things in that location get changed. It allows more control and less unpleasant surprises.
There are still a couple of gremlins lurking in the document waiting to spring out. I have them isolated and contained. Just as long as no one decides to update the Table of Contents, after midnight and spray their computer with water! Oh and the first page that suddenly changes its margin format... The last two sections of the Table of Contents - the List of References and the Appendices that decide to lose their page numbering. Oh and an indented quote on page 6 that frequently refused to hold its formatting. All of these are battened down and hopefully hobbled.
Kind regards
Lionel
