MA in Diplomacy with Merit, courtesy of DHL and the University of Nottingham, UK. It got sent by the history dep't yesterday, with no charge to me. Who says England isn't great. I even got the hots for the Queen now. Drac (no, not the band)

Sheesh. Who's ever got a job with a diploma? Just kidding, of course. :-) Congratulations on the official end of your undergraduate career.

Well done mate! Now just get broadband and hot water and you'll be set.

I can't give you a brain scarecrow, but I can give you this diploma. Congratulations!

Congrats Dracula. Now we got a Diplomat with a Diploma. Kewl. Just kidding. Congratulations, you deserve it.

it's a postgrad degree :) and thank you all for your moral support. now all i have to do is to get my stupid gov't to accept it. m

Congrats for getting your degree! MA in diplomacy...phew.. he's one guy we ought not to mess around with. :-)

oh, no, please do. i love challenges :D

"I even got the hots for the Queen now." Youre sick man, but congrats to the diploma. :D

dude, women age like a fine wine. granted, this is more of a vinegar thing (watch phil come in here and challenge me to pistols at 50 feet for insulting the queen)... but still. drac (royal pie)

Hey, I love older women. Even married one. As for the Queen (Stand up, God bless her, sit down) it's a good job she's got a queeny job, 'cause I can't imagine her in FHM's top 50. Actually, don't want to imagine her in FHM's top 50. Now Fergie.....

Fergie? hmm.. actually... yeah, I'd... yeah. drac

See, you're thinking of the old tubby "jolly hockey sticks, where's my horse oh ya!" Fergie, not the new quieter, thinner, more thoughtful Sarah. Anyway, getting away from your great news. Threads have habbit of doing that.

yeah... you thread hijacker :P drac (i like pie)

Dont mind older women either, but when shes like 300 years older, its pushing it... :)

Her Majesty is a pretty nice girl but she doesn't have a lot to say Her Majesty is a pretty nice girl but she changes from day to day I'm gonna tell her that I love her a lot but I gotta get a belly full of wine Her Majesty is a pretty nice girl someday I'm gonna make her mine oh yeah, someday I'm gonna make her mine.

"Dear Mr. Drac, the Romanian government regrets to inform you that a diploma from any school less than one thousand years old or outside of Romania, is invalid..." Yay for Drac! Hope it helps with the bureaucrats!

Congrats on the diploma. Hope you keep yours longer than I kept mine. Ran out of toilet paper one cold January day, my diploma came in handy.

Glad you finally got it but now you're gonna get it for making remarks about her Maj (Stand up, God bless her, sit down)(Thanks, Phil) (Bombs Romaniac with sharp stakes)

Congrats Drac, I know cash is tight there...You can also make copies & turn'm over for a couple bucks. Just think, the world will be a better place with more diplom.....Oh wait, Nix that thought. ;) ICM (LYLT)

Good work Drac! i hope that you can get the government to accept your diploma. If not ever thought of being Prime Minister of Canada ;) Cheers, Pedrith (I like pie too)

i spent 4 years in canada, pedrith, trust me, i'd rather spend 1000 years in romania then be part of canadian politics. drac (too much socialism, eh?)

Yeah the Canadian social net is quite a drag. After being diagnosed with Non-hogkins lymphoma, I'm now the victim of free medical care. And don't get me started on free education with University tuitions at about $4,000 bucks a year. You'd think a country with the 7th largest economy in the world and the 2nd largest land mass could do better than that. That being said, I do believe Canada to be the most under-achieving nation on the planet.

4000 bucks a year? i paid 10500 a year as a foreign student just for tuition and housing at York University, bando :(

That's a foreign student. That tuition is up to $22,000 (not including housing) a year now. Canadian citizens pay much less. Here in Quebec, we have the lowest tuition fees in the country. They've been frozen since 1986. Ontario I believe is at around 7-8 Gs a year now. I had a basketball tournament at York back in '88. Nice campus.

york main's a concrete jungle. the original campus, over at glendon, is much much nicer :) but yeah, i guess you're right. and i shouldn't be talking since i had a full scholarship for 3/4 years i was there =D

If you compare that to the University I went to, Concordia, its in the middle of downtown Montreal. The campus is a sidewalk. On the upside, it was very close to all the downtown strip joints ;-) (inside joke about Montreal, it has more strip joints than churches, and Montreal has alot of churches)

SCHOLARSHIPS! Canada has scholarships?

Wow, my folks paid $1,000 a semester for my degree (ok, I graduated in 1980)
I've heard the official motto of Canada is, "Now let's not get excited"..;)
And if you do get hot showers, you can always use the diploma for a diplo-mat..;)
Hey, you're a Computer artist..why not a little Photoshop, some fancy fonts (there's even one out there called 'diploma'), you could have your Doctorate (PHD- piled higher and deeper) by now..;)

Great news drac, but hope it doesn't mean you won't get time to do that "Valley Of Death 2" pic.

Len (Pushing it).

WhoooHooo Drac! Congratulations, about time they sent the darn thing to you......

Great to hear this Drac.... thumbs up. 8)

Congrats, Drac. You know, for the time in took for them to send it, between Wings and Bryce, you could have probably made your own. Well, maybe a little post in photoshop, too.

Official motto of Canada (or at least this Canadian when he was living and working in Texas) I am the great northern barbarian, here to seduce your women and subvert your culture! Got that on a T-shirt. (grin) Diplomacy, the fine art of saying Nice Doggie while searching for a big stick to whack it with! Bandolin, Montreal rocks! Lots of beautiful women, great food and excellent beer. What part are you from?

Congrats Drac...I'm real happy for ya! smile

I'm not sure, but I think diplomas are good.

Lived in Beaconsfield for a time... Doesn't quite qualify as Montreal, but it was interesting.

Diploma Drac? Diplomacy digs details!! (Need more sleep)

I went to Canada once.....it was closed..............

LOL at Bryster. Our bars don't close until 3 am and there are places that never do! Must have seen you coming (grin)

Oh that's great! lets hope they'll finally accept it now :D Ray (I don't know much about canadian politics, but I do know canadian chicks are hot!)
