I do enjoy the vagaries of academia sometimes: today's random snippet:
Conversation with academic supervisor:
She, searching for gaps in the thesis plan: 'hmmm, where's the hole in the polo?'
...to which I responded:
'Ah, I grew up calling them "lifesavers!"
Later, as I was sending my supervision memo off, I recalled lifesavers, so idly google-imaged. Behold: butterscotch lifesavers. The cross-cultural image straight from 1950's non-decimalised Oz [before my time, I hasten to add!!].
The ad tag-line I remember, however, was 'get a hole lot more out of life'
Re. previous blog-post: vision now restored and copious thanks to several techie pals. And given I was fiddling aboot, thought a change of template might also be a good thing.

Of course, finding the Polo hole in the thesis just now, might be a Lifesaver later on...
