Afternoon
Just a quick post about the Leverhulme Trust. Has anyone had any experience of successfully getting funds from the LT? I'm probably going to lead an International Network application and any advice would be gratefully received. Might apply for direct research funds as a separate bid as well.

And one or two of you friends have asked if my weight loss programme is continuing well. The answer is yes - I temporarily levelled off at 14 st 12 lb for the last fortnight, but the last weigh-in suggests that my metabolism has restarted as I'm now 14 st 10 lb. So that's 19 lb in 7 weeks so far. Probably on target to reach my target weight by early - mid December. Thanks for your support and to those of you are still calling me "fat _______d" - that really does help, seriously. People are too kind to fat overweight bloaters in the UK. Being told you are too fat means that you are more likely to do something about it! Calling a spade a spade is a forceful and truthful way to make a difference. One final mention to my friend William B who now works in Oxford amongst the dreaming spires - thanks for always keeping in touch William, you're a good 'un! Have a great weekend to all.

My only experience with the Leverhulme Trust is that they don't know a good proposal when they see one...grrr who said I wasn't bitter. Having said that though, I know Geoff has had quite a bit from them in the past, I will give him a push in your direction when he gets back off his hols. Anyway good luck with the applications.
Thanks Ben - it would certainly be useful to chat with you/Geoff about it. I haven't forgotten about those porphyrin materials by the way ............ well I have actually, but will send them on next week, promise!
