Brilliant, lots of help, thank you all very much. I'll be able to get cracking as soon as my lease starts which has made me much happier.

I'm about to move into a house and I have no idea what to do about setting up an internet connection. I think the phone line has never been used, but all the providers I've looked at have 12 month or even 18 month contracts with early disconnection fees. The house is left empty for the three months ...

I'm not sure usual tram rules apply here. The trams run from Leith, along Princes St and then out to the airport. That's it. I believe there was more planned, but due to the massive overspend/lateness, it's been abandoned. The route is already well served with buses I've never had any problem with, ...

I thought it was very well organised and run. My only (and very minor) complaint is that the booklets were wider than the slot in the ballot box (at least in the library) and so took a while to shove in causing a bit of a queue.

You may view this as splitting hairs, but he's getting £693k/year for having attained the position of chairman, rather than for having presided over insanely large losses. Surely anger should be directed at the fact that anyone considered this pension appropriate, whether or not the bank did well un...

Was anyone else accosted on South St by a retired builder called Kenny telling them about Jesus? He was wearing a wax jacket, and outdoorsy hat and trainers. He was quite persisitent and wouldn't listen to any argument which suggested the Bible wasn't the literal truth. I was wondering if anyone had...

Is there a list of candidates and a summary of their policies anywhere?

I doubt there are any pumpkin patches, Scotland not being what you'd call climactically suited to their cultivation. Some kind of expensive organic vegetable delivery service is probably your best bet, but I think the odds of them delivering here are slim.

How do you pronounce 'bejant' anyway? I usually go for something slightly French/pretentious sounding, but feel I may be going wrong.

Presumably you have to find a brick that'll fit through a pillar box slot though. I'd be surprised if the response of Post Office workers on being handed a box with a pre-paid envelope stuck to it and containing something heavy wasn't piss off.

Good, but still not as amazing as

Some of Mummy's cooking

My Amazon wishlist

Decent TV (ie Christmas specials of Screenwipe and Never mind the Buzzcocks but no Grumpy Old anything)

I think it's fairly reasonable.

Lembit Opik should get the leadership next, just so there's a chance of seeing a Cheeky Girl at the G8. A slim chance, I admit.

I'm 06 intake and I read the Sinner, I've just not posted before. I saw it as a good way to see what was going on and keep myself amused. I found the new advertising on my floor this evening (it was miles away from the door, so it may have arrived earlier and I kicked it there, or the Sinner is empl...
