This was of my own volition, by the way, as I'm off to do more Postgraduate.
Is that a requirement to be a post grad?
Yes, absolutely, have you seen an academic with out one?
Think you need to sew some leather/faux-leather patches onto the elbows of an old tweed jacket.
Obtain sandals and wear them with socks.
Err, ahem, 'scuse me...I don't have a beard.
That's definitely the answer. During which you can read, cycle, and grow a beard.
Is it peer pressure preventing you from growing one?
(Postgrads in Madchester these days eat ciabatta at Pret a Manger...no need to carry sandwiches to 'studies' either).
I've just finished an MA at Manchester and I can assure you I never ate pret a manger ciabatta butties. Although I did live in Chorlton so there was plenty of opportunity for right on organic, hand knitted yoghurt and the like to eat while reading the Guardian.
