Neither of these august institutions gives away Masters degrees unless they have been earned the hard way. Courage!

I will think about it Eamonn – but as someone who left school with 1 “O” grade and not much else, I still lack confidence in my academic abilities (and thats despite an MTheol from St Andrews and an MTh. from Edinburgh!)

Sometimes its the idea of acheiving more than was ever expected which is the scariest part – get told you’re the gormless little sister of the school brainbox for long enough, you begin to believe it. Sad how that kind of thing stays with us, regardless of what we acheive or how old we get.

I received a helpful email back from Draakull (Not his real name …), the Community Manager at Star Wars Galaxies, and some very useful links/pointers, so i may well go with the first.

Whichever one you decide on, it will be worth hearing. My own preference, for what it’s worth, would be for the first one.

As for the Ph.D. – why not? Think about it!

If He was handing handing you a drink nowadays, what would you say?

Possibly “thank you”, maybe “ta” but more likely “thanks” or “cheers” since he wasn’t one to stand on ceremony

Okay, different contexts and all that, so yes I am trying to stimulate some thought – in me as much as the poor server

Sounds even more appropriate in Greek: “Te eucharisto”:-)

Jonathan’s favourite response is “Cheers!”

Hmm! The Central Mosque in Edinburgh has a notice on the front door that basically says this but without the humour!! Now that’s scary!
