Dare I ask if anyone has actually been nominated yet, or is it the usual round of idle wish-fulfilment?

No idea where "whollyheartedly" came from. Apologies.

I saw a sar g eant on the alumni page Shocking. Not a s e rjeant, then? A word on this. I whollyheartedly endorse having a Serjeant at Arms, rather than a Sergeant or a Macer or whatever weirdness goes on elsewhere, but if the Society is picky about the spelling, it should be because it adheres to ...

From the North East??? He was born in Hampstead and went to Haileybury! What are you talking about?

Well, Boris Johnson, Mayor of London, is no more implausible than Fiona Hyslop, if executive experience is what you're talking about. [hr] Bill and Ted beat the Grim Reaper at Twister Bill: "You played very well, Death, especially with your totally heavy Death robes." Death: "Don't patronise me."

Wouldn't Graeme Garden be a bit derivative, having had Tim Brooke-Taylor? Better than Bill Oddie, I suppose. Tough act to follow, eh? Hmmm.

And if you can't find someone who would be an excellent Rector, you can always put up a pointless no-mark who might have fleeting appeal to the student population. Arf.

Quoting househunter from 21:49, 19th Aug 2008 You normally get a KBE or peerage for winning 2 gold medals at one games, what is he going to get, a blowjob from the Queen? Piffle. Henry Taylor, who won three gold medals at the London Games in 1908, didn't get anything at all. Matthew Pinsent and Ste...

I think I side with Anon. on this one. In any case, as the modern tartan system is largely made up, it's inappropriate (not to mention anachronistic) to get excessively worked up about who wears what.
