By convention, yes, the bottom button of a waistcoat is left undone - allegedly thanks to the corpulence of Edward VII (48 inch waist at coronation), who either: forget to do it up one day and was copied, was so fat it wouldn't do up, or undid it to allow him to still look good while riding a horse ...

I wasn't aware that Reiths sold anything in any colour other than beige...

I found Bassaguard to be excellent - prompt, friendly, relatively good value, and seemingly honest (they advised that something I had though needed doing didn't actually need fixing, saving me £150+)...

Universitatis Sancti Andreae Apud Scotos.

Forgive me, I was basing mine on the circumscription of the globe from the Seal of the Dean of the Faculty from 1457.

Perhaps I should spend less time looking up the heraldry, and more time studying.

I believe the full style is: John Smith MA (Hons) (Universitatis Sancti Andrae in Scotia) (Lots of Maces and Papal Bulls) (Yes Prince William went there) (No I didn't meet him) (No, its not Edinburgh) (Yes I got rejected from Oxbridge) (But we're 3rd in the rankings now so please be quiet) (Yes my b...

Given that things could get a bit heated here, I think it's about time someone posted this before it's too late...


I'm so sorry.

I'm sure some of us here have done world class scientific research, albeit mostly in the fields of "The various textile properties of Ede & Ravenscroft products" and "The metabolisation of alcohol by the undergraduate and it's effects on the consumption of battered pizza" or ...

A great loss to the worlds of wit and wisdom. I wonder if he despaired of being perpetually labelled 'grandson of Sigmund, brother of Lucien' There is the story of when he and Winston S. Churchill went on a trip to China. Churchill got the better room, and this was the first (and probably only time...

I would be most interested to find out what our Principal's stance on Fraternities, Sororities, and specifically Final Clubs at Harvard was. "Male final clubs have long been a point of controversy at Harvard because of their implicit elitism. They do not allow women as members ... have historic...

Yawn. I'm not entirely sure what will be achieved by this; the KK wasn't a recognised society by the University anyway, given that it's no affiliated. Like the CU. I wonder if they will be next in the firing line? One can only hope. Also, she's not that keen on the Lumsden club either, I think the w...

It's probably worth mentioning that there is Ballroom Dancing society, who meet most Thursdays I believe. I daresay you could find someone of a like mind there.

Auditions will be held soon; there will be posters going up about it, and an email coming round too

Waiting on who to provide said application? There's nothing to stop you making it yourself. It's not as if there is the "Facebook Application" Sab sitting around in the Union cackling to themselves as they make you wait for a shield to put on your profile. If you want it that much, make it...

We've been trying to get Steve to wear a bra for a while now, but he keeps resisiting the idea.

Perhaps this will do the trick finally.

I was under one became a graduand as soon as the last exam was done; so that the only option left for you was to graduate. You have done everything required to be a graduate, bar graduating. As for the gowns, I don't know. Is it really permissible to wear said gown without the hood, as you would hav...

An excellent and humourous, a fitting end to what has been a very good year for debates.

The beach bonfire was good fun too, despite having to manhandle Mr Haraldsen home...

Indeed a most enjoyable evening that was marred slightly by the situation with the bills at the Balaka. I think that the problem may well have arisen when people mistakenly thought that the deal that they were informed about in the link up and subsequently reminded of on the back of the order paper ...

Well done chaps and chappesses! Expect to see you all celebrating disgracefully tonight

I must say I suppressed a wee giggle myself when he told me, but at least it seems like it will get sorted.

Mines merrily running here, fully Jailbreaked and running all sorts of iffy software...

I feel compelled to bump this back up to the top to remind everyone that it is tonight, 8pm BBC2.
