Useful website for postgrad issues

stumbled across this website today - it might be useful to some people - has lots of links to funding/research council info. some of it seems to have quite a north american slant, but the forum comments are all UK based.

it's worth a visit in itself to read some of the stories of PhD nightmares - I suddenly feel like everything is great with me compared to what other people have gone though!
