I finished my PhD thesis (and passed the viva!)

[BingoBango]

Okay, I still have to write a conclusion, but to all intents and purposes it's finished, all 107,000 words of the bastard. All being well, I can hand it in as planned at the end of September unless my supervisors rip it to shreds.

Not particularly interesting to most, but it's one of those things which you want to shout from the rooftops! I cannot put my relief at getting to this point, and I don't want to see it again for several weeks. Now I can look forward to enjoying the Wolves match with a big weight off my shoulders.

*goes for a lie down*

Oh, I'm just a boring old historian Ronnie - my speciality is Australian colonial history, specifically the period when convicts were shipped out there.

Thanks folks, it really is an astonishing relief to get it done. Still have to wait for my oral exam (fnar, fnar) in December/January before I can call myself Dr. I'm still plain old Bingo!

Phillip's about 40 years before my topic Zin, but nice to see you know your stuff!

I must admit, I like reading about the Peninsular Wars myself.
