They have also removed a bottle of booze off my deliveroo order, so you all can have an extra for me. >:(

This is a precursor to defending your thesis, right? I don't mean to discourage, I've just been away from academia for a few too many years and my memory is getting rusty on the order of operations.
Regardless, it's a massive milestone and I commend your commitment to humanity's knowledge in the strongest possible terms.
In most places the defense is kind of just a formality. It's an important part of the ritual and the process, it's important to present your work, but nobody should be submitting unless they're definitely going to pass the defense, or else their supervisor has really failed them
My thesis is still in a next to finished draft state but I am a perfectionist who ran out of time so my boss was like, just fix it for the post defence submission.
It's good if your examiners have a few easy things to pick up, makes them feel useful and stops them from finding nonsense just to have something to criticise ;)
Haha, there's plenty to criticise, not too worry. 😂😂😂
