It's really counterproductive to making progress towards the rehabilitation of ex-offenders

Yes, that is an occasion!

Somebody suggested applying for a small pot of money to fund a preparatory phase before applying for the main grant/fellowship but how do you ensure you can line those up back to back?

There's no chance of it spreading to the main house?

I always feel that choosing what to buy and eat and making the food is my responsibility even when Tom offers to help

Yeah, you're probably right. I also often think of giving tissues to people who are sniffing a lot on public transport

Haigh received a conditional discharge - the court found that her offending was not of sufficient seriousness to even warrant a fine. Do we punish people forever for such minor offending? This approach seems completely at odds with bringing in Lord Timpson and Prison and Probation minister 3/3

Should they all be barred from high office? Do people deserve second chances? There is a clear difference if someone commits an offence that is related to their current work (say, breaking laws on Covid while in office...) but past convictions are a different matter 2/3

Curses! Miss C is curled up on my winter coat fast asleep and liberally shedding hairs

She deserves all the snuggles

Clever, diligent girl!

Breakfast of champions!

Well done for getting out. How do you feel now?

But "the system" requires that you identify research priorities and questions *before* you are given the funding to go into the field. In light of this, I don't feel I can put my hand on my heart and say that my research proposal is true PAR - action research, more probably #AcademicSky #PhDSky
