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.

Re:

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...

Re:

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.

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.

Sad thing is, it's not so long since everyone got to vote for a co-option, in the House. Perhaps something which ought to return?

Why doesn't the terrestrial feed work on these SubTV screens?

Re:

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).
