No Oxford man would ever deal in anything but Guineas.

No real Oxford man would ever pay his bills.

Well I'll not be doing any masters until I can pass my last diploma essay

Good luck Baz. I'm sure determination and hard work will get you through it.

[OptimisticJock]

Cheers mate

a brown envelope packed with tenners would make it a certainty

[OptimisticJock]

Not with this particular cunt.

[SerjeantWildgoose]

Have you tried offering sexual favours?

[BBD]

He did, but his right hand rejected him

This would be really apt if it wasn't a buckshee essay (and a corrupt cunt) stopping me going there (or some other shitehole).

[morepork]

Get amongst it you bastard. You should probably refrain from colloquialisms like "buckshee" and "thundercunt" in your narrative however.

[OptimisticJock]

That's the next step if the appeal fails. Although it will probably be in person I spout it so might be counter productive.

Or maybe I'll just accept I'm a mong and shut my puss

Had a mate look over it and he agrees it's shit.

Hahaha as tempting as that is I actually enjoyed doing some if the stuff I've handed in (funnily enough they all passed first time). Besides if I want to do that masters eventually I'd better get used to it.

Its like a rejected plot in which Good Will Hunting meets Casualty!

Everyone thinks the short, fat, hairy-knuckled ambulance driver is just a retard. But week by week, as the moving story unfolds, we discover that he is actually a savant who is still wearing those national health specs with the arms held on by Sellotape in an act of defiant protest at the commercialisation of disability.

Casualty meets X-Men

Optimistic Jock works by day as a paramedic, saving lives and drinking iron bru, ambitious and hungry for learning he hankers for something more.
In a moment of curiosity, mild mannered OJ turns the de-fib on himself to see if the power was switched on...

When he opens his eyes to a circle of heads above him asking
"Are ye areet Big yin?" "just relax, ye took a hell of a bang offa it" and "do ye have a poond for a cuppa tea?"

Optimistic Jock realises he has acquired special abilities, he can smell colours, see through walls and has a warm damp feeling all down one leg

Anxious to fulfil his destiny he decides the national health specs will remain as a disguise, protecting his identity and helping him read the Racing post, as he seeks to right wrongs, pursue villainy into every dark hole and tries not to spill his fish supper down his uniform.

Casualty meets Call the Midwife.

Baz is a newly qualified ethnic minority Lothian lad thrust into the austerity of post-war Tayside. His hunger for learning brings him into contact with the casual racism of Dundee's gangland as he struggles to bring succour, comfort and medical grade opiates to the poor who crowd into the city's jute-slums.

But mild-mannered NHS-spec-wearing simpleton Baz has a secret. Due to an unfortunate incident involving a not-quite charged defibrilator and a botched attempt at self-harm, Baz is able to morph into superhero OptimisticJockMan by the application of a standard Energizer 9-volt battery to his scrotum (Officionados may wish to watch the failed Casualty Meets X-Men pilot episode, which is available on Netflix).

Clad in his distinctive uniform of a 4-sizes-too-small sculpted Edinburgh jersey and a 1970's St Trinian's Schoolgirl Kilt, OptimisticJockMan prowls the night-time squallor of the Invergowrie Basin looking for damsels in distress to undress and half-drunk cans of Tennents Lager Lovelies to mine-sweep. Peering through age-dampened walls and listening to the smells of a thousand deep fat friers, OptimisticJockMan brings safety, obstetrics and halitosis to the frightened people of Dundee.

Next week: Casualty meets Homes Under the Hammer. Tune in to see Baz auctioning his auntie's kidney to pay for his FOBT habit.

That should qualify..
Needs looking in to first.
PhD was always 1 or 2.1 hons., Masters 2.2 hons.or above at my institution but sure rules were different elsewhere..now you need minimum 2.1 at Redbrick, sorry Russell Group Uni's.
It's rare to get on a Masters without a degree in a related subject ( degree is level 6, Masters lev 7, PhD 8.)
but HND was level 5 and there was a guy on ours who had this but 15 years in industry.I also know a mature Nurse who did a Research type Masters ( rather than taught ), without having a degree.I think there has to be a strong correlation in these cases.
I of course spurned the offer of PhD choosing to become a lab rat rather than just fiddling with them.

[OptimisticJock]

Cheers mate.

If I go down that route I'd probably be better served doing the degree first to get a bit more academic experience.

[OptimisticJock]

So now that I can write essays what about these CV things?

I had a day or 2s course on it when I left the regs but having had a wee look on Google there it looks feck all like what I remember.

I'm not really wanting to spend cash on anything as at the minute I'm just looking at sending it off to organisations like the Halo Trust. This might change if I decide to go down the remote medic route as a career though.
