Quoting munchingfoo from 15:21, 21st Aug 2008 http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7571901.stm There's no way, I think, that the Aussies can beat us. I hope they're not so sour when I travel there in September :P [hr] "The entirety of these definitions lie outside the gamut of the sRGB color space — such ...

This Olympic success by Team GB is delighting me mainly because it's annoying the whining Aussies so much. Their incredulity at our efforts, and the reaction of their press, has simply made my day.

Quoting Jono from 19:45, 3rd Jul 2008 Conversing with a member of staff (who shall remain anonymous) the man has distinction for being implicated in a murder, and masturbating atop a mountain. Oh, and being an awesome chancellor allegedly. And now, we have a room named after him in the Union buildi...

Quoting Henrietta Sloth from 14:20, 3rd Jul 2008 sorry if this is old news but i was amazed to find the following articles online about our former chancellor? http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1282/is_n24_v46/ai_16218205 and http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9902E3DF1330F93BA15752...

Was Chancellor Ming presiding at any of the ceremonies this week? I didn't see him in any of the honorary degree photos.

Quoting Archimedes from 10:30, 9th Jun 2008 Quoting exnihilo from 10:01, 9th Jun 2008 I'd have thought someone with a strong background in IR would be the last thing IR would want as a department, no department wants the Principal treating them as their pet project. Ask English about its relationsh...

Quoting WashingtonIrving from 20:41, 3rd May 2008 Right, people do realise that the Charlie Brooker article isn't meant to be a 'serious piece of political journalism'? He's a comedian. I don't think Charlie Brooker has ever claimed to possess an 'informed political opinion'. He just hates Tories a...

Quoting Jono from 14:49, 3rd May 2008 Yay! Tory Time for Toy Town! I think this pretty much shows the state of play: It wasn't Blair the country was sick of. It was the centralistic Browno-Blairite new-ageist crap. Hail to the inevitable rule wealthy Comrade Cameron. And they only have another year...

Quoting Gealle from 20:28, 22nd Apr 2008 Interesting that you suggest my ignorance brings out your pedanticism... I only recollect, and only see, my posting in response to you... What are we letting into St Andrews nowadays? [hr] So someone asked me "What is it you do?". I thought about it for a mi...

Quoting rob 'f*ck off' wine boy from 19:18, 19th Apr 2008 Forgive me for my ignorance, but if that is indeed the case then why hasn't a party been formed with Scottish independence as part of its manifesto whose policies are more in line with what people want? There are other parties who have indep...

Quoting Haunted from 00:53, 5th Apr 2008 Depends on what said vigilante group intended to do. If they were actually advocating harm against other poeple then fair enough. But if they were just going to patrol the neighbourhood in the hope their mere presence would encourage troublemakers to dispers...

Euan Duthie - though I'm pretty sure he's got no time to entertain the thought...

Quoting the Empress from 16:33, 5th Apr 2008 BSG & SGA totally kick ass! David Tennant is steadily getting more annoying . . . . and I only watch Torchwood to mock the dialogue. And for James Marsters. Obviously. I like the new Doctor Who series. It's not as complex or subtle as, say, Battlestar Ga...

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/7289135.stm Yes, it's another BBC link. I find Lord Goldsmith's idea pretty un-British, I have to say, and I don't much agree with it. What annoys me even more though is that the oaf Jim Mather had stepped in to speak on behalf of 'the people of Scotland' (as this...

Quoting Dickie from 17:59, 11th Feb 2008 Quoting ojk6 from 13:46, 11th Feb 2008 Russell Cord creases to buggery - and you have to have it dry-cleaned. Go with the polyester every time. The other draw back with poluester is that it does not fade as well as Russell Cord and thus you will never gain t...

What a lovely article.

I do love Alec Salmond's delusions.

The sad thing about this 'country' is that proportional representation allows his sad little views to have some weight.

After a conversation with a trusted member of my academic family, I wondered whether The Sinner has not been usurped by Facebook/Bebo, and has become a sort of ex-pat community for the older, less technologically inclined alumnus? Am I right? How many of you are current students, of the 2006 or 2007...

OK so it's a BBC online link, but I am so pleased that the utter cunt Gary Bushell is being pulled up for something that I had to mention it...

Is he not an arsehole?

This site is my only source of St Andrews gossip now. Do keep it up.

Quoting box_of_delights from 11:53, 19th Jul 2007 It is a yet to explode van - Susan and Ringo are involved in it somehow, but no one is killed. It was just a stunt to bring in some viewers along with the wedding in the first episode of the revamp. Ironic considering exploding vans was something th...
