If Mr Pepper is a legend, even for the reasons you adduce, Laura, the term is devalued indeed. Certainly, the student body should be very wary of electing a celebrity on the strength of his or her celebrity; yes, I do think electing Freud was a mistake, and, actually, dammit, I think my then-flatmat...

I think boosting the "chippy twat" levels is much more important.

Bill: "You played very well, Death, especially with your totally heavy Death robes."

Death: "Don't patronise me."

I think we're using trews in its modern rather than strict sense.

There is no such rule. It is perfectly possible to nominate an MP.

Colour me sceptical.

I have heard this idea floated before, and, indeed, I think I may have seen it in... specialist magazines. The tricky thing would be the waistcoat. For it not to clash horribly, I think it would need to be black. Mr Murray is threatening to trot this look out at some point; if he does so, I shall be...

We certainly very strongly deprecate the current fashion for a charcoal suit and tan shoes.

When? Which English?

I don't believe everything I read on Wikipedia. I tend to go from that kind of information which they cunningly hide in books. Trews are no more (and, arguably, no less) an "English" invention than the modern kilt. Modern Highland dress is just that, modern, but that doesn't make it English. Unless ...

God-damned double post. Sorry, chaps.

Ah, Dr Joss, you are forgetting the altercation in which we found ourselves with the gentleman in the Cellar Bar who insisted to us - somewhat too vehemently - that trews (which we were both wearing) were an invention of the English and therefore a symbol of colonialism, and that, if we were true Sc...

I'm at a loss to know what the students would vote for these days. Donald Findlay was - certainly by the time of his second term, anyway - a well-known figure in town who was acknowledged to work hard for the students and actually care about the University. Andrew Neil wasn't a St Andrews figure at ...

I wouldn't normally intrude on private grief, but, hell, let me exercise the privilege of honorary life membership of the Debating Society and ask a simple question: why, at a Debating Society-hosted and -run dinner, was not the Steward (or else a Board member standing in for the Steward) present un...

The problem there is that "President Bush", formally, is George Herbert Walker Bush, just as Jimmy Carter is "President Carter" and Bill Clinton is "President Clinton". Only George W. Bush is "Mr President". [hr] Bill and Ted beat the Grim Reaper at Twister Bill: "You played very well, Death, especi...

Mind you, the Minister for Defence Equipment and Support's letters come with "Baroness Ann Taylor" at the bottom, so it's pretty endemic.

To be fair, you had a talk from St Andrew himself.

Sir Eric Anderson, unless his Eton commitment is too time-consuming? I fear if you wanted a genuinely St Andrean MP, they are in diminishing supply.

Quoting creepy old man from 19:27, 25th Feb 2008 Unfortunately though, they do seem to be harsher markers and will take marks off for the teeniest infractions, I guess because they want to make sure they go by the book and don't miss anything. I'm afraid I was just a harsh marker because I'm a bast...
