    [Misc] Electric Cars

    Bognor Motors offer the VW electric van for rent with a full charge but £20 a day more than a diesel transit. You'd think that electric vans would be easy to produce compared to cars and be better for urban air quaility, would have been worth offer a small business subsidy for this. Astonishing...

    [Misc] f***ing biggish car dents

    Yes, its was £420 and took less than a day. They said it would have been more expensive with some metalic paints. Very pleased with the work (car was only 3 weeks old) as I can't see any sign of damage, They also warned that these repairs can affect the lane following/adaptice cruise. I've had...

    A Level Results Day

    There are certainly years where the performance is lower than expected. Sometimes changes in A level syllabi or previous years in degree programmes affect specific modules. Sometimes, some year groups seem less engaged and perform worse across the year. This is the sort of thing we never have...

    A Level Results Day

    I completely get this, it feels like we are fighting a loosing battle with many fronts and no winners. Some students really don't get on well with the truth. That said there are some great young people that do make it slightly worthwhile.

    [Misc] The Official NSC Bird Spotting Thread.

    Thank you, that explains everything! I know that the wildlife trust has a couple of sites on the West Dean Estate near Chilgrove, maybe something to do with it? Great that they are spreading across the downs and sharing the joy :)

    [Misc] The Official NSC Bird Spotting Thread.

    Lots of red kites around this way. I often see them from the A27 between chi and Havant. Lots of carrion to be found I guess. Must have been around for at least 10 years but can't remeber when I first saw them. The look majestic from Harting Down.

    [Misc] Retirement

    It's the university pension scheme where we have a mix of DC and DB. You can max out tax free cash by moving money around. Essentially, if you multiply the DB by 25 and add it to your DC you can take the maximum tax free cash (or up the DB from the DC). It's not too hard to get to the limit this...

    [Misc] Retirement

    Thank you very much, most appreciated. I think it will be three or four years before I go as my PhD students will all have finished by then. Either that or I'll wake up one day and that'll be it. It would be months before anyone noticed I was absent. No worries about REF, but I definitely peaked...
