Birley's portrait of Principal Irvine shows him in the VC robes, in a composition very similar, though somewhat more traditional (in fact this new one could easily be of Irvine. Or anyone). It's a precedent.
Nope. St Andrews Police - 100% failure record in murder cases. They have a lot of other things to see to, in fairness... Quoting queen of scots from 20:57, 3rd Jun 2008 Quoting Paul Carey from 20:50, 3rd Jun 2008 Sandy Drummond -------------- "On the evening of the 24th of June 1991, the body of San...
Quoting from 23:09, 22nd Apr 2008 Quoting from 13:58, 21st Apr 2008 When it slandered James Potton in 2006. I'd love to know what it wrote about Jamie. The saint was shite. From what I have read here its hard to believe it was any better. Half the readers bought it to see Halo, some bought because ...

It is a shame that this detracts from what is usually an enjoyable night - the last Solatium I attended the Convenor left very early and the rest of the Board probably weren't in a fit state to run the proverbial curry dinner in the Balaka, and still it was one Hell of an evening (and certainly didn...
Actually, everyone at the table of eleven did pay, (over and above, in most cases) as Dickie saw to - though did not the Board table number eighteen? Perhaps this is where the confusion lies. I do hope someone has the bill the Balaka made out... the Steward, or whoever was in charge.
Quoting Eliot Wilson from 12:09, 28th Feb 2008 Sir Eric Anderson, unless his Eton commitment is too time-consuming? I fear if you wanted a genuinely St Andrean MP, they are in diminishing supply. [hr] Bill and Ted beat the Grim Reaper at Twister Bill: "You played very well, Death, especially with y...
The University decided to end centuries of tradition and other such nonsense, and thought it would appoint Deans rather than allow their academic peers to elect them. This is progress.
Why doesn't the terrestrial feed work on these SubTV screens? I seem to remember we were promised at the time we could show what we wanted on them, (perhaps up to a certain time-limit?), so that this would never be an issue. Maybe someone else who was on the Union board at the time could remind me w...
Quoting Count Dracula from 10:16, 12th Aug 2007 There may not have been a gibbet, but there is the tale of the ghost of the Prior Robert de Montrose who, it is said, can oft be seen atop St Rule's tower. He suddenly appears then, after an apparent struggle, can be seen toppling over the parapet and...
Dundee was targeted a few years ago - I think it was a random Scottish nationalist (SNLA?) nutter, rather than your Islamic fundamentalist nutter of today.
I suppose it made sense to attack an inner-city school full of 1100 pupils (including me).
Hopefully the standard of speakers will be high enough that the Standing Orders don't have to be suspended - the debate does not require the monarchy to be insulted, after all; just argued against! Who's speaking?
Quoting ChrisH from 19:12, 22nd Mar 2007 I must say I am shocked that I received the lowest number of RON votes for an uncontested position given my policies of evensong and tyranny. Doug presumably lost out due to his comment that he looked like Iain Kennedy... One can presume that no-one cared, o...
