At least for me. I know it's easy for some people, but fuck's sake.

Knobwrench city I swear to Thor...


Modi  said about 3 years ago:

Funding for what?


shaun  said about 3 years ago:

sorry BA.


henry fellows  said about 3 years ago:

The God of Thunder?


BADALEX  said about 3 years ago:

Modi- Hypothetically speaking, a 15 terrawatt laser canon.

shaun- Eh, don't be.

henry - Yes my thrall?


Modi  said about 3 years ago:

Research funding?

Yeah, it's tough. It helps if you a a little bit more advanced than an undergraduate, and have papers published in high ranking journals in your field, as well as the collaboration of others who have done the same, and can demonstrate benefit beyond your specific field of research.


BADALEX  said about 3 years ago:

Er, no.


Modi  said about 3 years ago:

Er, yes.

babysteps  said about 3 years ago:

funding application writing is an artform, even if everything else is going for you

best to get help from someone who has been successful a number of times before, someone who's sat on the assessment panel or worked for the funding body


toadphoney  said about 3 years ago:

Or use the ugly tie contest idea.


Modi  said about 3 years ago:

I'd concentrate on getting a degree first. Seriously. No one's giving funding out to undergrads for research.


nyx  said about 3 years ago:

There is an art to this which only a few possess. You should find one of these people and try and convince them of your plight. Good Luck

P.S You will find them in the Arts and/or Business departments.


Angelic  said about 3 years ago:

can't ya just fuck for favours?


BADALEX  said about 3 years ago:

Modi you complete snapper head. It's not for research.

toadphoney- Nice idea, except for a few small problems. Those are all really fucking gay ideas.

babysteps- Exactly. I am NDG at funding application.

nyx- Hey, I noticed. The process is completely removed from the quality involved.


Modi  said about 3 years ago:

It's arts funding?

Oh, good luck with that.


Angelic  said about 3 years ago:

fuck funding fuck funding fuck funding!


Angelic  said about 3 years ago:

funding for fucking!

charlesincharge  said about 3 years ago:

talk to a venture capitalist. part of their job description is listening to wacko's ring up and ask for money for a 15 terawatt canon. its why they earn the big bucks.


BADALEX  said about 3 years ago:

Modi- Er, no. Look. Just shut up alright? You're only making yourself look even fucking dumber, and you didn't start off looking all that clever to begin with.

Bugsy- Awesome idea.

Food- Er....holy fucking shit. You're crazy in the goddamn face. Now I know this is awesome, because I find crazy people like yourself no end of funny.

But try and follow.

If modi follows me around posting in my threads....that's actually him following me around.

Wait, food...are you modi as well? Because he does that multiple account shit.

Helps him keep tabs on his schizophrenia and so on.

goingblank- Excellent. You also win the ''fucking retard'' prize. Good work dicksplicer.


kickcat  said about 3 years ago:

i am currently applied for the trifecta of grants .. if i get this one that makes three in a row... fingers crossed...


goingblank  said about 3 years ago:

Still waiting for the '''Fucking Retard'' Prize'. I was told I'd recieve it in three to five working days...


Modi  said about 3 years ago:

I don't have time for multiple accounts.

I think you have the impression I am someone I'm not.


BADALEX  said about 3 years ago:

goingblank- Hilarious.


goingblank  said about 3 years ago:

Is there a prize for that too?


BADALEX  said about 3 years ago:

Seven at least.


paulie  said about 3 years ago:

my godfather's name is grant.


BADALEX  said about 3 years ago:

Hey, good for you.

Now, gimme like, money.

At least seven.



basil seal  said about 2 years ago:

Got my first funding knock back today.

It hurts.

I had totally planned a weekend on the west coast of Sumatra.


BADALEX  said about 2 years ago:

Modi- Maybe if you understood, you wouldn't say such things.

basil seal- Yeah. Sucks indeed.


Modi  said about 2 years ago:

I understand perfectly. No one will give funding to an undergrad. It's a pretty ordinary situation.


BADALEX  said about 2 years ago:

No modi, you don't understand a goddamn fucking thing.

That's why you say such amazingly stupid fucking crap.


outerspacextrapnel  said about 2 years ago:

That site is great Modi.


basil seal  said about 2 years ago:

yes!

i gets a macbook pro, two trips to asia and two to the pacific.


basil seal  said about 2 years ago:

gloating to the internet is not as fun as gloating to their faces.


luke  said about 2 years ago:

I DON'T THINK BADALEX POSTS ON MESS AND NOISE ANYMORE


Modi  said about 2 years ago:

He did when I posted the link above. I think that's what made him cry and run away.


QueenElizabeth  said about 2 years ago:

Come back BADSPANDEX.
