My marked topology TMA arrived today. I was at work, my wife phoned me. She'd been watching the [recorded] last ever Morse and had been crying.
"You, OK babes?", I asked, actually worried by the sound in her voice. She explained. I don't remember seeing that episode and, now I don't suppose I ever will.
"Your big envelope is here." That's what we call it, the TMA. We made chit-chat whilst she opened it. By now Tish knows where to look on a PT3.
I was sat in my office. Danny was reclined in the chair under my 'magnoliaboard', feet on my desk. Duggie, the new guy, was sitting opposite looking mystified. Danny has heard these conversations before, Duggie despite having been warned still doesn't really get it.
Tish reeled off my mark, I said I loved her and put the phone down.
"You done good bud", Danny said.
"Indeed. Fag?", We all went for a fag, although Duggie doesn't smoke.
Before we got outside something distracted Danny, I don't know what but he came to the smoking-gate smiling.
Because Danny is a temp he'll be taken from me soon. I can make soon sometime later, but I can never make it forever.
What a shitty world we live in where things that are right get destroyed because people who don't understand life see it as untidy and have the authority to 'fix' it.

Yeah the last Morse is pretty tear jerking I have to admit Not sure if the Lewis series is a good replacement but better than nothing. The only criticism I have of the series is that it would have been better if they had made Morse a mathematician so instead of doing the Times crossword we could have had him working through some Integrals or even topology. But yeah a beer drinking Wagner lover floats my boat any time.
Anyway congrats on the Topology mark
All the best Chris

I rather like Lewis but you're right it's no Morse.
The topology TMA was a mess but an interesting mess. A couple of places I got marks for something that I didn't really understand. A couple of places my argument was invalid.
Still I nailed Q3!!
I'm going to have to go away and think about this...

Question 3 was definitely the one stretching all bondaries. Remember before we did M208 I said that understanding the continuity but non differntiablilty of the blancmange function was probably the hardest thing we would do it would be interesting to go back and see if it makes more sense now in the light of where Topology has taken us.
