This piece in today's Guardian, The way of the PhDiva, seems to me to be (unintentionally? Help, I can't tell!) hilarious. Opening sentence: "I have been near Cannes for the film festival and reading Vanity Fair."

Hmm: "I nipped round to Tescos for a cornish pasty and have been reading Georgette Heyer."

I seem to be having tremendous difficulty with my lifestyle...

I wandered over to find sonic bananas but got sucked into the PhDiva..

We wear Manolo Blahniks but we also have doctorates

*sprays screen with tea*

Let's see:
we wear Birkenstocks but we also have MBAs
we eat mice but we also have MScs
we wear Florence and Fred but we also have GCSEs

But what was the point of the article?? Just to make people feel jealous and a tiny bit confused??
What a very strange article.

Personally, i'm a Ph.Dork, but hey.

:-D It's like one of those irregular verbs, isn't it?

Also to make its author feel better about herself, I think.
