Congratulations, Queen of Scots - very best of luck for the big day!

not much help, I'm afraid, but the "principle regulations" are the Graduate Endowment (Scotland) Regulations 2007 (according to the interpretation section of the Bill). The definition of "due date" therein is "1st April immediately following the last day of the last academic year of the course of hi...

Many thanks Lid. According to my new toy, that's just round the corner from where I am currently - shall check it out. It will have to go some to match my local, the tremendous wenlock arms, but frankly it has to be significantly better than this dive!

At a bit of a loose end in Aberdeen and have no clue as to nightlife in the silver city. Would anyone have any suggestions as to good pubs around Union Street (to be picky, preferably somewhere well stocked with real ale)? Obviously this should be on the advice/real ale board so mea maxima culpa and...

Quoting TheUnixKid from 15:51, 10th Mar 2008 Duffman is correct. Under English and Welsh law only a man can be convicted of rape. One of the main parts of the definition of rape under S1(1) of the Sexual Offences Act 2003 is that the accused intentionally penetrates...with his penis. Women don't ha...

Like the image!! If it were '95, though, it'd probably be a Ford Probe instead, with Black Grape's 'In the name of the father' blaring away... I left yonks back. My point was just that the enthusiasm of the NPH for Scottish and Scottish-themed cinema, while understandable and thoroughly commendable,...

apologies Paul - I of course meant 26 weeks...[img]littleicons/yellowhappyface.gif[/img] Obviously wasn't all that long in truth but it felt to me at the time like, short of David Lean rising from the grave and directing a star-studded intergalactic romantic epic with fist fights galore and a sprink...

Well, as we all know, "bdw" is a word of West Semitic origin, meaning "of the desert" and is the root word from which "Bedouin" is derived. In many ways this encapsulates my Lawrence of Arabia-style of personality - a nomadic figure, driving purposefully his unwavering course through harsh and barre...

[quote] Quoting munchingfoo from 09:19, 7th Mar 2008 Whats happening to this little towwn? Or is it just people in general? I had assumed that most people around here would have enough intelligence to resolve differences without violence! I've seen and heard of more violence since Christmas than I h...

stripey jumper, chocolate eyes, eh?

Welcome to the McMatrix, Bonnie.

I thought that an individual's state pension pot is comprised of his own NI payments (rather than a nationally aggregated sum), so the annuity payable would be based on the aggregate paid in by such individual up to the date of his retirement. I also oppose prohibiting early retirement if you are mi...

Agreed. Furthermore his cherry-picking of the conditions of use is disingenuous as only numbers 4 and, at a push, part of 1 could really be said to be in any way objectionable. The others are just common sense drafting.

OFT v Abbey National PLC and others - the banking charges test case is just kicking off in the Commercial Court this month. A decision is expected by Easter (but expect this to be bounced all the way up to the HL on appeals) and is genuinely too close to call. Should be interesting.

Right. The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Regulations 2006 (SI 2006/ 3289), implemented the comically named 'WEEE Directive' (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (2002/96/EC)). The WEEE Directive provides for the collection, treatment, recycling/recovery and safe disposal ...

Apparently the electronics failed catastrophically so the crew weren't on instruments on the approach

If you scroll back to the Genesis point of the Sinner (ie page 1), most threads seem to have this time-stamp. From this we can conclude either (a) that there was an equivalent of the Big Bang on midnight of the Millennium, where all concentrated grey matter relating to the KK, Marcus Booth and the m...

31) Wayne's World. Way.

32) London Borough dismiss swimming-pool proposal. Decision overturned after Burgundian booty discovered, pre-Schengen border controls and cockneys nick the water anyway.

Kind hearts and coronets

Carry on rutting. Swingers parties, infidelity, randy vicars, Wednesday Addams caught in flagrante as Nixon. Frost extends. Frodo is electrifying.
