I feel the culture of relationships being more common than in other universities plays a big factor. Also the small space means if you break up, have a tiff, there's a lot more incentive to fix things or get back together, or not bother breaking up. Plus, there's not a great many avenues to hang out...
As far as I could tell, the aircraft carriers continuation had very little to do with defence. I believe a lot of lively hoods depended on them, perhaps if the initial sunk costs had went else where then those lively hoods wood be else where. But to cut them half way through construction would be ma...
Would have loved to but i don't live anywhere near st andrews any more. Peace of advice for getting out of the beginners doldrums... learn a song start to finish (doesn't have to be hard) and write it down, before you go onto learning another song play from your songs your know list a few times. Als...
Yup Fife Park really does bring out the crazy in us. I look forward to giving that a read once my summer semester ends. My first half of Fife Park was pretty good, but once it goes bad it can never really be resuscitated in such close quarters.
Why do people across the world have such a propensity to box every intention under a limited number of buzz words. "Socialist", "Communist", "Nationalist", Both China and Russia are defined communist but their political philosophies hugely different. (Russia had closed ...
Nothing wrong with a pizza now and again as long as you do a little exercise and eat a little fruit +/or veg. Hence why it's so crucial to know the right one to have.. in moderation. Plus I think the standard of food available in the UK is fantastic, and there is a more than adequate range of health...
I'm currently enjoying sunny Atlanta :) (Georgia Tech) It's a very different place from St Andrews, particularly as unless you have a car your trapped. Unlike St Andrews where a car really isn't needed. Also St Andrews is one of the safest towns for a young person in the UK, round the clock. Music v...
They are very enjoyable. I think classes like these would be especially useful to teens in schools around the pre voting age, to help be understand who, what and why of politics without bias.
* Such people have a tendency to vote Conservative. I think the above statement is true, and hence why conservative still hold the bad guy look. If they could shake the attitude of their voters then maybe they'd have more respect. I'm not convinced the party is any worse than the alternatives thoug...
They occur at the start of every respectable ball :) And are sometimes a stand alone event. Basically children in Scotland are forced to learn the steps to scottish dances, in a manor something akin to slavery at school. Ceilidhs (pronounced like the name Kaylie) are the reward for our hard earned w...
For most things I'd say everything varies by how much cash you have. I honestly think your in for a really really good time. Though your missing a lot of the primary excitement of raisin weekend and freshers week from first semester. There are other things like the May Dip, and end of year hall ball...
Does anyone else think that our expensive gowns look like something yer granny could make with a couple a quids worth of second hand material? Although I'm a fan of wacky traditions I'd rather just wear a jacket sorry.
This debate would have been stronger without Ann Widdecombe. Stephen Fry made a very good point near the end of his closing that the Catholic Church is a wonderful opportunity to do good wasted. I'm not convinced by either case, but on the skirmishes on the smaller pictures any huge rigid organisati...
I sympathise with the family, they must be saddened and infuriated by the manor in which they lost someone. Time to make an argument. I feel that when someone dies in St Andrews of natural causes, like a girl in FP three years whose ago heart stopped, Lovely girl, really tragic. (I'm disappointed wi...
Was it windy or were they drunk? Cause I've personally never found a walk on the scores life threatening. Actually I find it funny that there are signs on the top saying "warning falling rocks." Since when did rocks fall up?
