Why not just give a list of available texts to students when they move into halls, so that they can choose which (if any) they would like in their room? The list would be approved by the religious council in the manner described above. If a student wants a book on the list, then it would be provided...

Or scissors, depending on length. Quoting BackwardsMan from 22:19, 19th Oct 2005 Um... with a beard trimmer. They're like mini hair clippers and are about £20 in argos. I tend to use one with no attachments instead of shaving to get really short stubble. Not because I'm lazy, just because I can't be...

I've never read the Shining (or any Steven King for that matter), and I think the Kubrick film is a truly cinematic masterpiece. Maybe if I had read the book before seeing it I would have been dreadfully disappointed, but I hope I would have been able to appreciate the inherent differences of the ar...

I usually get pretty decent prices on Amazon marketplace (you have to go to the trouble of packaging them up and mailing them out though).

A racing bike. There's nothing like gliding along at effortless speed, especially in beautiful weather like we've been having this weekend, and it's about the best form of exercise there is.

You are not significant.
Nothing that happens to you is significant.

As a reasonably serious and frequent cyclist, I go on the defensive very quickly when I hear car drivers getting on a high horse about cyclists. However, as a driver I also see that there's a substantial minority of cyclists (in fact it might even be a majority in this town) who seem to have a caval...

I wonder how AR never made my list?

In no particular order: Nelson Mandela Fidel Castro (he could supply the after dinner cigars) Primo Levi George Orwell Vincent Van Gogh (preferably in a more lucid moment) Bill Hicks I'm surprised this idea hasn't been turned into a kind of upmarket BBC4 version of "I'm a celebrity..." already ;)

Those are the kind of industries with companies big enough to justify their own graduate recruitment schemes to run events and send out information about. That doesn't necessarily mean that the careers service aren't interested in helping you get another kind of job, just that the schemes and events...

Or "best" for that matter, but that's another thread...

Also very useful for checking grammar/spelling issues is Bill Bryson's "Troublesome Words". It's in a useful reference format too.

We've had this already. Several times.
