While I didn't make the unregistered point, said user does bring up something valid. I'd love to see the minutes for the many table speeches which I gave, but they're simply not available. Is it right that there continues to be a gap?

It makes me regret more and more, Dr Joss, that we never pushed ahead with our plan to revive Common Dines.

And have Dines go the way of a certain dining club from which I am (unjustly) blackballed? Better to have been left buried, I say.

Quoting David Bean from 23:31, 5th Feb 2007 Firstly, it's more than one area of student life over one year or more, or one area over two or more years, so the dedicated supnetter would be, and in fact commonly is, recognised. This amuses me greatly as the "TWO AREAS" concept only came about owing t...

The nomination process is very much more open and fair and, to its credit, works to a certain degree in terms of bringing to the committee's attention a handful of students who wouldn't otherwise have received an HLM (though in most cases whether they'd want one is open to question); however, you're...

Quoting exnihilo from 09:21, 5th Feb 2007 I'm sure someone will try though. I can do it. It boils down, quite simply, an arbitrary designation (MORE THAN ONE) designed to prevent some students from getting the HLM (like, say, if you devoted yourself to nothing but musical theatre or Supnet or somet...

Quoting flossy from 12:18, 1st Feb 2007 [D]r Covino, are you saying I look like a chap? I've never thought so. I was going for the "loosely comparable story I've heard from the scary world of secondary teaching" angle. It was my mate Craig with the long hair who, apparently, looked a bit girly...

A long-haired chap who got his Ph.D. just before I did went to Cambridge to do his teacher training; when on one of his school visit things (I don't profess to know the lingo...), he was informed that were he to work at the school, he'd have to chop off the ponytail. The killer line, I believe, went...

Forgive me for saying, Bon, but this statement really does contradict your last to my mind. If I'm following you correctly, the Union can admit on a given night untold numbers of Dundonians/Glaswegians/UUJ students, owing to their reciprocal agreements, as well as throngs of parents/others with one-...

Quoting LK Today from 20:17, 24th Jan 2007 I'm afrid I can't really speak for the library fee, but I can for lifetime membership. It's, as ever, to do with our licence, someone correct me if I am wrong. Nice try. As DOSDA, you should probably have noted (and should _certainly_ have been aware of......

The three-year statshot is much more interesting; I'll be damned if I can remember what was so interesting at some of those peak times...

Quoting Cain from 22:53, 16th Jan 2007 Can the debate be on nuclear wessels? Given the actor responsible for this joke's recent appearance in a criminally bad fan-made/produced/directed film, he must be pretty hard up for things to do these days. I say we ask Mr Chekov if he wouldn't mind stepping ...

It's only been 2 weeks; I hardly think they're at the fornicating stage. He's only just got approval from the bizarre menagerie of pets they keep (including the mother...).

why is it that you were unable to put them into practice when you were on the board and not being a martyr? Or is it that reality gets in the way?

See? Now THAT's some good tone and word choice. I'm picturing handbags for some reason.

Who started the idiocy anyway?

When James North was the Association Chair, he used to remove the Chair's gown and swap it for one of the undergraduate variety. All very flamboyant and theatrical. The idiocy, as per, snowballed from there.

Gownsex, on the other hand, is a tradition. Do try to keep up.

Boom boom.

Quoting Mr Comedy from 14:53, 12th Dec 2006 1) I don't believe that you are allowed to use Association Gowns for floor speeches; You are now; Association types rarely speak these days anyway, so it's more a novelty in that regard than anything else. In any case, she was talking about SS issues - AI...

Quoting Mr Comedy from 18:52, 4th Dec 2006
Can you no longer do what I previously did and sign the gown out for the whole year?

I know of several which have been out for several years at a time...

I should think that they've migrated to the much sanctified "gown cupboard" in the Union if they've gone anywhere. Good luck getting at them, though, without 3 writs verifying that you're an authorized user, retinal scan etc. The plus side is, though, that you can just consult the "sign-out" sheet a...

Quoting Al from 00:20, 1st Dec 2006 But is that because the hecklers really object to gownless people speaking or is it because they think that shouting "Gown!" is a tradition of the house? My 2p on this: I've watched debates in LPH for nearing on 10 years now, and the shouting of "Gown!" at a cert...

Quoting exnihilo from 22:59, 26th Nov 2006
Dom, yes, effectively they were - work camps.

Don't sell yourself short - if you're gonna be claiming reparations, go for back wages on the construction of the Pyramids...
