You don't sound crazy. I think the point about bureaucracies being full of holes is a valid one though. I'm pretty certain there is other intelligent life out there, but I'm also pretty certain that alien visitors either have not occured or are so infrequent to suggest that there are only a handful ...

Quoting admin from 10:09, 7th May 2006 It's to see whether people would do something for no real reason, but with a definite aim. I'm pretty sure an economist did a study of when people will do things for no reason. Considering the cost of this is very low, and the benefits are ambiguous and indivi...

Does it bother anybody else that someone could be prefered by most students as their second choice, recieving a ranking of 2 by a majority, however, because this canidate does not recieve a large amount of first votes, s/he gets redistributed early, and the majority preference is lost? The whole ide...

Quoting Lyeta from 15:55, 20th Mar 2006 As for not needing a book for months on end - if you don't need it bring it back to the library, and if you need a book that is out, recall it. If only it were that simple, though. Because people tend to hoard books, they don't return them long after they are...

Certainly, the entire point of GTA3 and its spin-offs are to run around doing illegal activities. Personally, I loved making the game more exciting by ticking the police off and getting into a huge car chase. I believe that while the prostitutes have a concern that the next generation of clients has...

Instead of getting rid of the short loan system, why don't we contemplate making normal loans a little shorter. Do we really need an entire book for three to four months? Maybe week could get it for a week or two, so that more people have opportunities to see books.

It's all nice quoting The Tempest, but Seth, Ben, could we refrain from the personal scuffles and keep this thread a constructive one? Let's look at the problems we had with the election: It seems pretty clear that everyone agrees there was a communication problem. Now we're getting into a represent...

Quoting Midget from 13:46, 20th Mar 2006 *The Rules made available and clear to candidates and public alike The rules booklet was given to all candidates, they are clear... Its up to the candidate to check with election officers before they do something stupid, its commonsense. The public could hav...

But STV sounds like something you'd catch after sleeping with one of the canidates, and allows for plenty of jokes to be made! Do you want to ruin all my fun?!

Quoting Midget from 01:04, 20th Mar 2006 There are always other commitments, essay deadlines are different for different departments. This is a bollocks argument. Surely more essays are due 24th Mar, like mine. Students have plenty of time. Its about laziness, apathy and disinterest. I sincerely do...

Quoting Ben Reilly from 23:51, 19th Mar 2006 They are supposed to be put online. But not even the election rules are online. I would expect that Tom d'Ardenne would have had trouble, then, distributing a great amount of copies of the election rules to his campaign team for them to follow. Why does ...

Doesn't the R in SRC stand for representative?

Don't tell them that. They might realise that studnets have concerns, and even worse, that getting elected might mean that they would have to do something about them (Shock Horror!!).

I think in politics, what is it that's said in Syriana? Allegation is guilt? Thankfully not in student politics here in st andrews...

Quoting exnihilo from 13:00, 19th Mar 2006
Ooh, I could come to SRC - I'm coming over on Wednesday anyway. I've not been at SRC in years.

I think Ben said Tuesday. Besides, couldn't it be suggested on exnihilo's behalf since it's obviously been read by members of the SRC?

What is also of great concern is voter turnout. Many people on the Sinner and in the Union have expressed delight that 25% of the student body went out to vote on Friday. While this is higher than in most years, it is far from being a good turnout. What I might suggest, and please criticise this if ...

Quoting exnihilo from 12:12, 19th Mar 2006 Totally random, but is there any more progress on electronic voting? I ask because here in Glasgow the SRC just held its elections and it was possible to vote by logging into the student portal and clicking on the relevant link. It just seems so much easie...

Is this it - The Strokes Landslide - Smashing Pumpkins Whats on my mind - Cranberries I remember I was once asked to list three songs from the top of my head. 'Is this it' was the third one to come to mind. I was then told that the third song was how I felt about life... So guess, there you go.

Quoting gringo from 11:22, 19th Mar 2006
Where, in the name of arse, have all my favourite characters gone?

Didn't they go and start their own Hollyoaks spin-off?

Quoting someone from 10:22, 19th Mar 2006
We'll find that out on Wednesday, I suppose.

Where is the Presidential result going to be announced anyway? And has a time been designated, or is that TBA at the discretion of the EOC?

Quoting Ben Reilly from 17:35, 15th Mar 2006
...one of my pet peeves.

What 's yours?

People trying to finish my sentences. As if anybody but me possessed the grand power of ESP!
