Question What is making you happy today?

What a viva exam?

They ask you questions about Vauxhall cars.

What's a viva exam?

An oral examination for a PhD.

Often a 3 or 4 hour interview from professors who tear apart the work you've spent the last 3+ years doing.

It's my birthday tomorrow, and thanks to the generosity of my local Pizza Express and my local Ed's, I can get a free milkshake from the latter and two courses for a tenner at the former. I love free wifi...

Was down at the Houses of Parliament this morning for a select committee hearing, filed copy from the cafe in Portcullis House and then had a belting walk back to the office along the river in the sunshine. Only in the office for another hour and a half as well.

Energy and climate change, which was interesting given the developments rumoured to be happening later this week.

It's my birthday. So, in addition to the Days of Future Past Rogue Cut and Shadow of Mordor presents I got, I thought I'd go see Ant Man. And use the free milkshake voucher from Ed's. And the two courses for a tenner voucher I got from Pizza Express. And pick up the complete X Files boxset from HMV. Settling in with X-Men as I type.

Wouldn't a new seat post have been cheaper, or was it n+1 ?
