[edit] hi
hi there sir, how was working at lancaster uni? i almost went there.
I would have been inclined to respond to you if you were a registered user. It is not always clear that unregistered users see changes to their IP address talk page. I reverted your edits because they were not encyclopedic material, being about yourself, and they disrupted the flow of the article. You would have enjoyed Lancaster. I did in its early days. I am sorry you did not get into Oxbridge. However I can assure you that my family, while quite bright, were working class and not well educated. I'm sure you will get a good university education somewhere else. I think you could also be a good contributor to Wikipedia. Take care. --Bduke 03:44, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for your kind comments given the circumstances. I have just read your userpage and might I say I a have great respect for your academic achievements. Just out of interest what motivated you to go and work at Bayero University? Also, Just out of interest, I was wondering what your greatest achievement as an academic has been. Sorry for all the questions but im soon off to university myself and im quite curious as it’s all a completely new and unfamiliar world to me. I didn’t even know what an academic journal was until recently!

First, please get an account and stop vandalising pages. I see you have got into all kinds of trouble while I took a break. Also sign your contributions on talk pages with ~~~~. I went to Bayero University as I was given the opportunity to start a new department. I much enjoyed it and that was probably my greatest achievement as an academic. OK, I wrote a lot of papers and still write a few, but none are anything to write home about. Which university are you going to? --Bduke 04:25, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
- Duhram hopefully but if I dont make the grade then Leicester. It was a toss up between lancaster and leicester as to my second choice. In the end leicester was a better safety net as lancaster's offer was only marginally lower than that of Duhram.88.105.20.10 08:07, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

| I award you The Working Man's Barnstar for your tireless work on Australian AfD sorting. I am much appreciative of all the work you have put in to sorting Aussie AfD debates for a long time, and it is past due that you recieve some acknowledgement for your endless work. I find the AfD box at the Aus noticeboard extremely helpful, and I'm sure others do too. Thanks for all your hard work! Daniel Bryant 07:39, 6 April 2007 (UTC) |
- Thanks. I think we also owe you thanks for working on that page. --Bduke 09:21, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
