I passed my viva at least, so I'm Dr. (subject to correcting my thesis, as is usual). Hopefully this won't make me massively overqualified for jobs :/.

Congratulations Dr Chorley

Get that 'Dr' on your chequebook tomorrow, Nicky. One needs all the help one can get with bank managers.

To that statement, I agree

Thanks all. Corrections have been a pain, but they're almost over now .
