Thought for the hour: DRA should be called New Hall. The current New Hall should be called Tubbyland Hall, after the Teletubbies not anything to do with gluttony, which would make it a National Heritage site, based on the program opening up a box of surpirises, such as te youngest building ever to b...

An illustration of my rather bad geography, is that looking at the view from East sands I mistakenly thought that the Hilly bit which is apparently Dundee, was scandinavia. Obvuiously not. Don't worry I've heard somewhere that a couple of Americans tho...
I'm sure if you ask at the cash office or admin, etc that they would be able to help you out, after all St Andrews does try to attract American students so should be able to provide support. I'm sure your friend could also ask one of the many reps for St Andrews in the US as well. [hr] Words without...

Depends how I feel, but for a ball...something heavy or with a nice beat such as Ignite, Suicidal Tendencies, or maybe even nirvana. Otherwise, random stuff from my now extreamly extensive collection of MP3's, blurs greatest hits never fail, nor do any songs by the amazingly talented band known as '...

[s] The Man Next Door wrote on 14:04, 18th Mar 2004: I'm in DRA- it's ok. The lack of social areas is made up for by the decent rooms, and you just go elsewhere if being sociable is on the cards. It's not too far from the science buildings, either, and the walk in is nice. [hr]Si hoc signum legere p...
