Hmm, the Canadians I know don't have chips on their shoulders. Is that a chip in the English or Scottish sense BTW? Do they have fish on their other shoulder then? (That's how peculiar I am.)

What's wrong with being Canadian? (Sorry, I'm peculiar.)

*ahem* The way to Weimar was the First World War, which ended in Germany with the declaration of the German Republic (twice) and after that the establishment of the Weimar Republic. Also may I point out that the Weimar Republic actually survived the major economic crisis of 1923 and the crisis of th...

What? You can have a social life as a postgrad and not just work all the time? I've been misled!

If Japan is also OK, take a look at http://www.eujapan.com/europe/vulcanus_japan.html

I'm one of this year's participants, so if you have any questions about it, feel free to ask.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't the Olympics in ancient Greece "invented" to stop the peoples from fighting each other for at least some time? How much more political can it get? That aside, carrying the flame around the whole world doesn't have *anything* to do with spreading love and peace. I...

The bindery at the union is cheaper than the official one -- I can't remember exactly how much I paid, but it was less than £2 for ~50 pages. If you have to hand in your work to the library you'll have to use the official one though, because the library doesn't accept comb bindings (at least not the...

This may be too late, but when something like this happens, you should immediately disconnect the power, take out the battery and dry it. Works best in the oven -- seriously. Put it into the oven at low heat for 1 hour or so. You should set it to a really low temperature though, if you're unsure whe...

Fastest would probably be to go to Leuchars (bus £1.90 IIRC), to Haymarket (something £10, less if you have a railcard) and take the bus just outside Haymarket station to the airport (£3ish). The bus has a separate lane, so you should be fine even during rush hour.

*ahem* the LaTeX version numbers actually converge to pi, the tetex version numbers (that's the whole TeX distribution) converge to e.

Why did the one-handed man cross the street? To go to the second hand shop.

Apparently the secondary uni nameserver (138.251.40.10) was serving the corrupted entry. The primary nameserver was working fine, but Resnet uses the secondary one as primary.

Me & usually I don't melt. In particular not at this event, it was SEATED. I'm still wondering why nobody started tossing chairs about.

Nope, Alice Cooper and Twisted Sister in Glasgow
