Journey to the Motherland

This is an online account of my three year DPhil undertaken at Oxford University from October 2006 to mid 2009. I will try to remain in email contact with people personally - this is so that I can attach large pictures, movies and anecdotes of the trip. Enjoy!

About Me

My Photo
Name:
Location: Oxford, Oxfordshire, United Kingdom

From Brisbane to Canberra, from Canberra to Oxford... the temperature is on a downhill run. I hope to be a visiting fellow in Mawson Ice Base next. The programme wouldn’t let me use the Interest categories – what a character. Interests: Cricket(I look forward to seeing the Ashes [from England] in November and [in England] in 2008); writing the great Australian play - the antipodean pinnacle... take that Barry Dickins; Music J.S. Bach - 'Mass in B Minor' without a doubt. Certainly the organ works and concertos for harpsichord form fond favourites. I finally managed to convert all of my Bach CDs to MP3s on my external hardrive (rather than lug the 170 disc set around Oxford - I'll get that money to you later Ross... when Hilary Clinton becomes President and I get a mobile phone.) Anyway, anything by Haydn (I think he cops the rough end of the stick - good symphony times.) Books Hornblower and Captain Blood (there's nothing like adventure on the high seas), Certainly anything by Matthew Riley (7 Ancient Wonders... what a rip snorter), Oh and that book by Dan Brown: Digital Fortress... I will keep people posted as to whether I meet brilliant, young, sexy female code breakers.

If you are only attending one cricketing event in 2008 make sure it is...

The 2008 ICC World Cricket League Division Five Tournament in JERSEY:

The following juggernauts (although unfortunately, they can't ALL win) will compete:

Botwsana
USA
Afghanistan
Norway
Nepal
Singapore
Jersey
Mozambique
Bahamas
Germany
Plus two extra qualifiers from the 2007 East Asia Pacific Cricket Cup: That is to say, two from the following:

Cook Islands
Indonesia
Japan
Samoa
Tonga
Vanuatu

I will be there, if anyone from home is planning a trip out here - make sure you coincide it with this tournament of tournaments. The tournament takes place in around May/June, but more details will follow.

Stay tuned for more details and hints and tips for the betting types.
