I would like to thank those who have put up with my incessant question asking and worrying. In particular I would like to thank Michael Pincombe, Jennifer Richards, and Tom Cain for their patience and understanding over the past year. I would also like to express my joy in having studied here and met some wonderful people who have shared in my misery in writing this dissertation.
For personal thanks I would like to thank my father and sister for constantly listening to me complain and voice ideas for this project. I would also like to thank them and my brother for the family support they have shown while I have been so far from home. I would like to chastise my cat for shrugging me off when I went home. To Jill-Marie McCormack I would like to thank her for her kindness and understanding over the year. And short of thanking the whole world I will end here!
