That van has been parking in St Andrews for at least the last 5 years, I remember it in my first year. I think it does bank collections and a couplle from pubs, but mainly banks. Not sure why it picks that time to do them - my theory was that they finish the job they're doing somewhere else early ev...

Firstly, I'd just like to point out this is the only post I'm going to put up here - I've been lurking but I just can't deal with the sheer volume of idiocy on the Sinner any more (not including some people, including exnihilo, Al, harmless loony, munchingfoo, Cain and some others I've forgotten). S...

Hi Phil. Thanks for the figures. I'm 99.99% certain that charities can claim back the VAT on purchases as well as sales, or else the system wouldn't make sense - a commercial company could claim back the VAT as long as they were charging VAT to all their guests, which I assume the union does on tick...

I don't think you deserve it, and I think it's unfair that people are saying that. I think you've been slightly naive sending it, and confused about how the payment system works. I guess it's easy for us to sit here and say OH MY GOD, you sent something to Nigeria without getting payment first, but ...

KT Tunstall can't play in St Andrews for a long time, very busy apparently.

Dunq, I would be surprised if the bands on your list would play for anything more than expenses plus £1,500 at most. Rider and VAT would be minimal there. Oli, firstly, I'm sure the Union must claim back VAT, being a registered charity? And Rider costs rarely would top £500 - nice hotel rooms for th...

Girls Aloud wouldn't charge 20k. You can get some great bands for about 2-5k, depending on how well known they are etc. If anyone wants to know who to contact, send me an e-mail through my profile and I'll pass on the details.

David, I think it's pretty obvious that if they say NUS only, only people with an NUS card will get the discount. It doesn't matter how stupid or pointless the rule is, I've been refused a student discount about 10 times I can remember over the years, due to me not having an NUS card. I agree that i...

Just a quick point, it's not a 'headbutt', it's a butt to the chest with his head. A headbutt means he hit the other guy's head.

How can my point not stand that the checking for HLM's isn't in place, just because it was in 2004? I didn't say you personally approved this one, I just said that he got one.

Rufus, the thing is, it's a message board as Nighteyes points out, not something where spelling is crucial, as long as it is mild errors (consistent with an a is extremely mild) Why do you always go on as though she has used 'txtspk' when you're trying to show an example of how annoying she is - SHE...

Fucking hell, the Sinner has got so wanky that when someone posts a message, twice, trying to get some information, all they encounter are wankers trying to be smart arses correcting their grammar. What's the fucking point??

And if you want to look it up, it was awarded in the summer of 2004.

Bean, check your facts. Chris Hewitt got a HLM. The evidence used to give him a HLM was complete nonsense - the "Hewitt was the first person not to call me fat to my face" was actually the comment I wrote as why he should be given an award, so I know it was the case. The 'proceedures' I referred to ...

And out of interest, why did you change your name from Spiers to Fletcher-Watson? It's not your wife's surname I noticed, seemed a bit odd.

Ben, what's the bee up your arse? My point was that the 'checking' of HLM's is pretty weak, and if someone like Hewitt can get one, then there must be no proceedures to verify what is said in the nominations. Some of the stories we put in were frankly ridiculous, "Hewitt was the first person not to ...

Chris Hewitt got a HLM, mainly because a mate of his sent an e-mail round all his friends asking them to nominate him for a laugh and put some outrageous story of how Chris had helped our life.

If Hewitt can get it, anyone can.

Whoever makes me sells me.
Whoever buys me doesn't need me.
Whoever needs me doesn't buy me.

Who am I?

So did they get the wrong bloke for the interview, or just not speak to him beforehand?

I'm still of the same thinking too exniliho. An easy-ish way of finding out would be to check the webite of the letting agents for Semi Chem's old unit, but I'm fairly sure it will be a Phones4U
