I know I'm not on here much any more (I will come back I promise!), but those of you who remember me might be interested to know that I'm now finally Dr Meerkat. It's been a very long hall, but I defended my thesis last year, and have been awarded my phd.

Many congratulations, your doctorship.

I know you've worked your socks off for that meerkat. So happy for you - congratulations!

Very well done Doc. That's great news. Go celebrate. You could hold a forum party of course.

That's brilliant news, Meerkat! Congratulations! Hope you are celebrating this weekend.

Wonderful news! well done Meerkat and many many congratulations

Wow! Brilliant! I'm so impressed, well done. What was your thesis on? Are you going to try to get it published?

Well done!
What is your Ph.D in?

Well done.

Congratulations

Well done indeed. It'll be extra to speak to you now!

Well done Dr. Meerkat!!!!

Bev.

Congratulations

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!

I know from my own attempt that it's not easy so well done on all your hard work!

Oh.. and I love meerkats too - have you seen this http://www.bearsonthesquare.com/detail/SAPR/071249

You could get it as a graduation pressie

Thanks everyone. It does feel good!

Lottie, that is extremely cute. :-)

Ah - a real doctor: Congratulations - we medical types tend to forget that historically our "doctor" titles are honorary (as physicians), ours being mere graduate degrees, whereas you had to work for yours as a postgraduate degree. In consequence I am always more impressed by a PhD than an MBBS (or their equivalents).

Congratulations!!!

Congratulations!

Hopefully I'll get there myself one day....

Many congratulations!

Fantastic news, well done you!

Well done you!

Being surrounded by real Doctors, the one thing they all agree on was that actually submitting they're thesis was the thing that clinched it. So long-hall or no you did the research, actually wrote it up, did the viva and got there.

Many fall by the wayside Meerkat, but you didn't.

Congratulations.

Congratulations Dr Meerkat, you can stand very tall now !

Many congratulations!

Brilliant. Well done, you

Wow!
Congratulations!

It's been an interesting week. Some of you probably know it's been a very tough year. Well, in the last fornight, I've done my first recital, got my phd, and this morning found I've lost a total of 100lb - which is a LOT of weight! Feels like a real time for turning lives around.

What is you Ph.D in? and what was the title of your thesis?
Congratulations on the above

Congratulations

100lb ?? That's a lot for a meerkat ! Maybe you mean youve lost 10lb ????

Nope. I mean 100lb.

Wow! That's a whole small person gone. Was it intentional?

Really pleased things are going so well for you now. You deserve it meerkat.
