At Cosmos. I'm well and truly stuffed. Dave is seemingly picking at his food. Ed on the other hand is pacing himself. I'm not sure what Gareth is thinking. Probably where's Craig? Come to think of it, where is Craig?

After a few 24 hour shifts, Ed seems to be the perkiest of them all! Oh, Craig is back.

Ramprasad stops eating after 3 full plates. Well done Ramprasad, you have passed the minimum requirement for eating out with Team Stavros. 3 plate-fulls. Craig is contemplating desert. I'm not entirely sure what Dave is thinking about-possibly why he has to be constantly interrupted whilst eating to take pictures. Ed on the other hand is definitely contemplating another trip to fill his plate. Gareth just looks content. I'm also guessing he's thinking about how we are going to deconvolve the transients we obtained in PACO. Maybe everyone is thinking the same?

I made a mistake, Craig is actually contemplating two visits to the desert counter.

Pictures from our recent visit to the SDG conference at Heriot-Watt (5th-7th Jan)

Dr Jan Verlet gives Dave the thumbs up for his poster

A serious looking Gareth in front of his master piece

There you go, a little more relaxed!

Adam in action-explaining Coulomb Imaging

I know what Ed is thinking......

Ed looks satisfied with the response his poster gets at SDG

The three PhDs do Zeenats!

The Dynamite Duo. Dr Kym Wells PhD and Dr Azhar Iqbal PhD

No fish tikka today so I opt for the fish massala. Bit spicy but I still devour it!

A Kevin Spacey type stare from Kym Wells PhD

On the other hand, Azhar Iqbal PhD is just happy

A proud supervisor with an empty plate unlike some! (see below)

Kym's almost empty plate!

A piece of naan fit for a doctor!

Group visit to Zeenats following Azhar's PhD submission

 

An empty plate and two drinks!

A very happy Ed

An even happier Craig

 

Jeremy in deep thought on what to get

 

 

Another DIY photo accidentally capturing two blokes in a white van

Ahhh, my fish tikka has arrived!

Eds portion seems bigger than mine. Need to have words with the chef!

An Afghani naan in the capable hands of Kym

Dave's having non of this. He too wants a piece of that naan

And he's loving it too!

Craig is smiling at something, not sure what.

And here is my dish. Plain rice and fish tikka. Oh yeah!

And the man of the moment. Azhar submitting his thesis enjoys his meal without

the worry of having to go home and continue writing!

Check out that naan

 

Kym doesn't seem to happy

A close up of Ed tucking into his meal

And a close up of Jeremy's meal

Dave's had enough

 

And Ed hits the Afgani tea to help digestion!

Jeremy's empty plate

That tea doesn't appear to be helping Ed

Jeremy doesn't know what all the fuss is about

 

Some tea boss? Yes please

Kym appears to be camera shy. I'm guessing his new group at NTU won't be invading his space!

Azhars empty plate. Well done for completing both your PhD and your meal!

 

An artistic photo of Kym.

Group visit to Zeenats following Kym's PhD submission

Dave's hands, his kebab and empty glass.

 

 

An artistic view of my Fish Tikka. Azhar in the background concentrating on the job at hand

 

 

At least Lydia has time for a pose (unlike.....)

 

 

Craig ponders the sheer size of that Naan.

 

 

The group before starting the meal but after Kym submitting his Thesis

 

 

If I recall correctly, words along the lines 'ohhhh, thats delicious' from Kym.

 

 

Craig's initiation to Zeenat's is starting to look bright

 

 

Me attempting a DIY photo of my meal.

 

 

A more successful one.

 

 

Not sure what Kym has in his hand but its probably not pleasant juding by Azhar's reaction

 

 

Dave very content.

 

 

My empty plate. Mum would be proud!

Group visit to Zeenats. October 2009

 

 

A slightly more modern picture of Ed and Jeremy. Check out that steamy pilau rice!

 

 

Dave and Kym. Dave takes the time to pose. Kym, well some things are just more important.....

 

 

Azhar seems very happy with his pilau rice. And so he should be, delicious!

 

 

Denise is content with her salad (she also had fish tikka which is out of the picture).

 

 

The group. Happy and slightly bloated faces. Note the size of that naan!

 

 

Group photo from a different angle. I feel left out.

 

 

Denise, me and Azhar.
