I was hoping it would be an ancient cast-iron <a href="http://www.e-mesh.com/members/resourcebank/vehicles/pages/delivery_bicycle.htm">Butcher's Boy bike</a> or something (especially when I scan-read the word IMPERIAL! Or was that a motorbike?).<br /> <br /> <a href="/phd/main.pdf">main.pdf</a> --- shudder! You kept under wraps matey! I'll have a look at it when I'm feeling brave. <br /> <br /> Love, Chris<br /> <br /> (avoiding marking, grrrr) Raj, how long have you been tattoed and pierced?!

main.pdf — shudder! You kept under wraps matey! I’ll have a look at it when I’m feeling brave.

Mauri ones I think would suit him best: big parallel line designs over his face, what do you think? Not sure what Sunita would say. She looked wicked at the wedding with that line of little red paisley shapes over her face. But that washes off (unlike the turmeric and oil).<br /> <br /> The bike is supplied by VSO. It was bought by the 'logistics officer' in Nairobi. Local bikes are in fact Chinese sit-up-and-beg style and one of them would have suited me fine. The beast you see above has nuts and bolts of a different thread so i am having to get the crank nut from the shop in naairobi viar the logistics officer because my local bike maintenance man tells me such parts are not available in Tala. It looks tough, but Africa has knackered it. It was bought for the first volunteer at the college in about 2001/2 I think.<br /> <br /> But its kinda fun to go bombing down the dirt track next to the main road on it -- even though it is WAY to small for me!<br /> <br /> Yeah, no big song-and-dance about the thesis. I have never really been proud of the whole process though I do have a feeling that what is contained in main.pdf is well written and the content is suitable to qualify for the award. I hope Tony Simons feels the same.<br /> <br /> (Im sort of avoiding marking as wellm but I have started it) Having fun imagining our Raj with tattoos.

This chair is way to low. but the table has a big bar underneath it so I won't be able to get my legs under properly anyway. Oh! That’s why I need.
