I've noticed that.

In a department not 100 miles from me.



Though one or two really do have hair.

fixed that for you.

you see that a lot in your students then?

i do wonder if the idea is to show the paucity of design and the restrictive nature of design education in britain.

People concerned with the outer 1mm of something whilst leaving the real gubbins to some other poor sod.

That sums up architects too, now I think about it.

All the pretty flash stuff while the structural engineer does the real design work.

Oh Yessssssssssssssss.

Once or twice per decade at a guess.

There's a bottle of Domestos in the loo. It says:

Kills all known germs - Dead

What are the other degrees of killing other than the 'dead' one?

Does Aldi own brand bleach kill all known germs poorly?

Does Lidl bleach kill them disabled?

In fact these things are a major problem for sewage treatment works coz they tend to kill the sludge blanket in the digesters.

but that requires maths and calculus and stuff doesn't it?

They don't know anything about the substance.

One of my most memorable was the student who wanted me to design & build a pulse oximeter for her baby alarm.

She seemed a bit nonplussed when I said "Ok, it'll take 6 months & £30k".
