Does anyone who, for example, knows something about theology know much about his merits as a researcher? It might well be the case that he's just a superlatively excellent scholar and, as it happens, he also holds some very retrogressive views. At the risk of courting controversy as an apologist I'...

Yeah, mine's there.

Mean of 16.56 should qualify you for the Deans' list, haven't lost your PtP, aren't taking re-assessment, and are taking a full 120 credits. Last year it took a few days for the award to show up in the Prizes/Awards section of the record card, and the letter took about another two weeks. More detail...

I'm fairly neutral about Dr Richardson, but the following quote did make me smile:

"They’re very dismissive of style in academia. But there is a difference in Scotland. Part of my job is to go to a lot of black-tie events, and there is a real sartorial sense there—there are men in kilts."

I think the tax payer can take an interest in this event, as they are paying for it!

Uhm. Women serve in the army, too, you know? Well this is for 45 Commando, Royal Marines, and thus the Navy not the Army. As far as I know the only section of the RM to admit women is the bands corps, in accordance with the Government's ban on women serving in units whose "primary duty is to c...

Perhaps the principal will ban the use of .ac.uk emails promoting such activities "from which so many of our students are excluded at birth".

Did you try going via Student Support? They're usually more helpful in these matters...

I could be wrong, but I don't associate Nisa Today's with value for money. In which case you'd wonder why opening one directly opposite Tescos would be a good idea.

I'm trying to SSH to a unix box I have a shell account on from behind ResNet but it seems they've blocked the ports. Telnet looks to be blocked too. Is there any way round this? Thanks! O.

I was a little bit perplexed as to why the Residence Admin here at Fife Park decided to agree to send out an email to all Fife Park students telling them about the "Nae Tae G20" thing...

Just play their game, write what they want to hear. I had the unfortunate privilege of having to read a number of these a couple of years ago. The best of the bunch was somebody who wrote about how they'd reacted to a dispute between two members of a team in a staff room, about how they'd read the s...

Hi Guys

Was just recently given the hood for my first degree to go with the gown I've had for a few years. Does anyone actually wear their hood to chapel? Is it "the done thing"?
