    Hi guys!

    At last I have the first draft finished! HOORAY!

    The last few sections are a bit thin and my conclusion just hasnt happened just a list of key points really, due to going over the word limit (45,000 words in all), writing every day for three weeks and my father taking a very bad turn for the worst.

    All those of you who wanna read it and slag it off/praise it/wipe their arse on it/fall asleep on it, :D can you PM me an email address to send it too, but it is an academic piece so bear that in mind! I hope their aint too many mistakes...

    Thanks a lot guys, any comments will be useful, hope to use it as the basis for a book someday!

    RED :cool:

    Well done Red!
    I'll be doing my dissertation for my MA next year, so I know just how much work you've put in.
    Look forward to reading yours in the shops eventually.

    Regards,

    Gordon

    Well done Red Baron; I did my Masters about 10 years ago, so know how you feel. I hope to start my PhD in the near future; have you any plans to do so?

    Looking forward to reading your book one day.

    It was supposed to be my PhD, but lack of funds led to it being a Masters... But I dont think oi could have written the 80,000 plus for the phd... but maybe in a few years... Hmmmmm, Waffen-SS comabet effectiveness perhaps???

    AOL! (missing the :BARF: icon!)

    :mad: [​IMG] (due to lack of a :BARF: icon, but it doesn't do it justice...)
