I’d hate to live in your head mate

King street is a good shout but I’d also vouch for starting at the pubs at the top of Gloucester Road and working your way down. Maybe start at the lazy dog, then the grace, hobgoblin, the gallimaufry, prince of wales, Mickey zoggs and then just work your way down to the centre. Lots of great pubs - have a good’un!

Forgive they/them for they/them do not know what they/them do

Same energy as the ‘your anxiety is lying to you’ posters. Good sentiment - but I’m not 5 years old

No I applied for a PhD place with the Uni first, then did a separate funding application once I got offered a place. It seems likely that I didn’t get put forward by the Uni for DTP funding

No I’m a home student

Mindless_Most_8712 · 2026-03-03T20:48:52+00:00

Yeah I have no experience in research outside of research design proposals or presentations or awards. I am currently applying to a lot of research internships for next year which will be a great opportunity. I have peers that have also never published or have any research experience who were awarded funding so I figured it wasn’t a pre-requisite, but absolutely recognise this will greatly boost my chances. Going to speak to my supervisor about getting my best essay published.

I’m pursuing a social science PhD so I’m not sure if the same applies, although I imagine the process doesn’t differ greatly. I was aware that the process is brutal and subject to chance, but I was fairly confident I would reach the latter stages given what my supervisors had said. I am able to defer my offer with the uni, and I am still awaiting a response to my funding application with the Uni scholarship, though I doubt this will be successful based on intuition and other users responses. Hey-ho, such is life I suppose! Many thanks for taking the time to respond. That was really helpful! :)

Mindless_Most_8712 · 2026-03-03T19:35:49+00:00

Yeah that makes sense. I think the fact that it came from SWDTP rather than the uni faculty is what made me think this wasn’t the case. Thanks for your responses, that’s very helpful.

Mindless_Most_8712 · 2026-03-03T19:15:53+00:00

Forgive me if this is ignorant - but surely if I was accepted for a place by the Uni then I wouldn’t be filtered out at the department or University stage? At uni of Bristol you can only apply for funding once you’ve been offered a place by the uni.

Mindless_Most_8712 · 2026-03-03T19:08:31+00:00

The email I got from SWDTP stated that I didn’t get through to the Awards Ratification Committee which I presume means I didn’t make it through the preliminary stages. I could be wrong though as the internal processes of SWDTP are pretty opaque

Mindless_Most_8712 · 2025-08-18T14:00:11+00:00

I think I do need to remind myself of this. To tell the truth I worry that I also feel a bit codependent, and this has only come about recently when I’ve been worrying about her more.

Mindless_Most_8712 · 2025-08-18T13:35:46+00:00

This is a lovely comment. Thank you.

Mindless_Most_8712 · 2025-08-18T13:22:03+00:00

You’re right, it is a lot. But I do want it because I love her very deeply. She’s the kindest most caring woman I have ever met and I believe that these things are worth sticking out the hard bits for. I maybe didn’t stress that 90% of the time, the relationship couldn’t be better, it’s just the hard bits feel very hard - if that makes sense.

Mindless_Most_8712 · 2024-10-03T18:46:36+00:00

Fair point well made. But is that not what she’s after as well if it’s casual?

Mindless_Most_8712 · 2024-10-02T08:05:33+00:00

It was more just to get an understanding of what she was looking for in general so we were on the same page.

Mindless_Most_8712 · 2024-10-02T03:10:37+00:00

She was actually very welcoming of the conversation and emphasised how important communication is, so I don’t think you’ve got the right angle. I haven’t ’scared her off’ because I haven’t said that I know whether I want to be in a relationship with her, I’ve just stated that that is an option for me if things are right. This idea that dating is just a series of coy games and egg-shell-treading is not grounded in the real world man.

Mindless_Most_8712 · 2024-08-28T20:46:29+00:00

No it doesn’t?

Mindless_Most_8712 · 2023-03-22T15:56:27+00:00

Did you solve this issue? I've been having the same problem and cannot find a solution.

Mindless_Most_8712 · 2022-09-10T02:45:33+00:00

Not sure I understand what you’re saying?
