What an excellent result your son got Hugh, you must be so very proud of him.
Enjoy the summer months Hugh, you deserve some time off after working 60 hours for the last 18 months.

Glad to hear that your son has his 2.1. Being able to take up his job offer will be the 'icing on the cake' for him.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
Well done Stuart - exams are always good to see the back of.
Great news for you too Hugh - we need more mathematicians so very well done to him.
Now you'll be having a well deserved rest, do we take it you'll be keeping an eye on us a bit more?

As Hugh will no longer be sat at his desk for 60 hrs a week twiddling his thumbs we shall probably see a lot less of him over the next couple of months.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
Well my partner and l are going up to our parents place in Hampshire a week on Saturday to be with them and my brother and sister so we are looking forward to that and one of my other brothers is staying at our place to keep a eye on things as well so all in all we are pretty happy as we will be away for 3 weeks.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
l have just looked at the map dilli and l cannot believe you are over 100 miles further up the line as l thought the two were much closer actually.
