Seems you only posted to have a dig for Spaw! I thought that I had acknowledged the achievement in the first sentence - even if I can't spell achieved properly (I don't have a PhD in spelling). For the record: Well done Richard! DC |

The world is full of complete jackoffs, all of whom are master cod fiddlers!" Or sad old commentators ( complete jackoffs) on threads that meant to praise achievement. Didn't your momma tell you if you can't say something nice, don't say it at all? Dr Cod is a bloody good fiddler and all round nice guy. And Spaw, he wouldn't have said similar about you.

Subject: RE: BS: Cod fiddler gets Ph D (Dr Cod at last) From: wysiwyg Date: 24 Feb 07 - 01:25 PM I once mistook a Spaw humorous comment, myself. But really, he's just being silly. I know it looks different from the UK. US humor is different, and Spawhumor is even more different. SOme of the UK humor hits us wrong, sometimes, too.

Subject: RE: BS: Cod fiddler gets Ph D (Dr Cod at last) From: Les from Hull Date: 24 Feb 07 - 04:15 PM Well done Richard! All that hard work and staying away from sessions paid off then! Hope to see you a bit more of you now and good luck on the job search. Les and Maggie |
Subject: RE: BS: Cod fiddler gets Ph D (Dr Cod at last) From: catspaw49 Date: 24 Feb 07 - 10:17 PM Geeziz........Talk about humor impaired fanooks.............Seems our language and customs are once again the same but incredibly different. Dear Cod, Allow me to congratulate you on now being piled both higher and deeper. Forget what I said about fiddling with your cod (as a joke) since a couple of jadrools on this thread have it down to a science in reality! Your hard work and diligence are to be applauded and will provide a source of pride you will have in yourself forever. Spaw |
Subject: RE: BS: Cod fiddler gets Ph D (Dr Cod at last) From: ossonflags Date: 25 Feb 07 - 09:11 AM Well done Richard, all who know you did not have any doubts you would get there in the end. Like les and Maggie hope to see a bit more of you at sessions in the future and a warm welcome always awaits you at the "Monks Walk" Mick and Mary |

Subject: RE: BS: Cod fiddler gets Ph D (Dr Cod at last) From: Linda Kelly Date: 25 Feb 07 - 07:19 PM I am presuming a jadrool is a form of haddock but who knows-well done and about time too - at one stage I thought the whole species may have become extinct before you fininshed your thesis! |

Subject: RE: BS: Cod fiddler gets Ph D (Dr Cod at last) From: Les from Hull Date: 26 Feb 07 - 02:12 PM gnu - Richard's doctorate (of philosophy) was awarded for his research into cod (the fish) and methods to preserve it through the intense overfishing it has had in the North Sea. So it's very important scientific work to us here in Hull, as we used to be a very flourishing fishing port until this overfishing, which lead us to send trawlers many miles away to overfish elsewhere. |
Subject: RE: BS: Cod fiddler gets Ph D (Dr Cod at last) From: Eric the Viking Date: 26 Feb 07 - 04:48 PM So Spaw ifn you'll want to fiddle wi is cod, you'll need a deep sea trawler at least. As for the fanooks & jadrools I'll fergive yah harsh words.But it is important research an the boy dun good. |

Subject: RE: BS: Cod fiddler gets Ph D (Dr Cod at last) From: Mrrzy Date: 01 Mar 07 - 05:05 PM Congrats and cod is way cool, especially if you know the Basques... right, Doc? I kinda like the Doc coD as a lovely palindrome - and isn't fiddling for crabs, anyway, of whom we seem to have a couple on this thread? (Spaw, I thought you were funny meself... but I've been here awhile *BG*!) |

Subject: RE: BS: Cod fiddler gets Ph D (Dr Cod at last) From: GUEST,Janine Date: 19 May 07 - 06:33 AM Doctor God? At last! What's the difference between a doctor (medical, that is not PhD or DSc) and God? God doesn't think he's a doctor. Too much lunchtime wine: I missread it! Anyway well done Doctor (real) Cod on your doctorate - it takes a lot of hard work. Jan |
Subject: RE: BS: Cod fiddler gets Ph D (Dr Cod at last) From: GUEST,Cod Fiddler Date: 21 May 07 - 04:52 AM Hello All. This is the first time I've seen this thread. Thank you everybody for your kind words - even Spaw who may have actually hit the nail on the head! It is such a relief to finish, but I have to say I'm really glad that I'm not going to be an academic, but that's another rant. I'm now living in Wellingborough, which is a good deal worse than Hull. However, I am very happy and currently gainfully employed by Greg Dunn. I'll look forward to seeing you all at the Beverley Festival! Richard. |
Subject: RE: BS: Cod fiddler gets Ph D (Dr Cod at last) From: Pistachio Date: 21 May 07 - 03:04 PM Good to know you'll be back in Beverley for a visit next month Richard. Hope to catch up then. H. |
