Total this year is 1802.

The Union's pub quiz will be back this Sunday.
Potentially with ME as the quiz host!

The Association and The Saint are completely separate organisations.

QuoteMePrint (a division of BAM, who provide the Association's website CMS) specialise in producing student papers. There's no "deal" - they just offer a good price.

There's a problem with the St Andrews LDAP servers. The engineers are working on it, and it will be fixed as soon as possible.

(According to the answerphone message at Helpdesk).

Interesting you mention student debt - have a look at http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/banking/student-money-saving for a really interesting (and useful) speech made to the students of LSE. And if you sign up for the weekly newsletter, MSE will donate 50p to Children in Need (because I asked them to...

And at Oliver's, you get a discount.

But only if your name is Oliver.

There are more posts than ever on the site, but it may seem quieter, as there are now 34 messageboards (as opposed to about 12 back in 2002) so all the posts will be a little more diluted.

That Sinner Dinner was great fun, and it was really good to meet everyone.
Should we have another?

Quoting Anonymous/b from 03:56, 21st Oct 2007 maybe the starfields organisers were spiking the drinks with morphine every five minutes because everybody seems to be wandering around in a general post-friday malaise saying how much of a wonderful night it was but personally i though it was absolutel...

I disagree! The music was great, the DJs were fantastic, and it made such a nice change to have so many live bands playing in one venue. Forget your overpriced balls (whoever makes it to the ceilidh in time anyway?), £45 was excellent value, and the drinks were pretty cheap for an external bar (ever...

Quoting David Bean from 00:57, 6th Aug 2007 Oli, the 'Your' bit in the name the Union is often referred to has been around for years - since 2001 at the latest, in my direct experience. But every time I see some institution presented by those in control of it to everyone else as 'your', I can't esc...

significance?

Are the T-shirts blue again?

The significance of the birds isn't in the colour of their feathers, but their beaks.
And yes, the T-shirts will be blue again, but this time a royal blue, not sky or navy.

Quoting David Bean from 20:43, 3rd Aug 2007 ... David, The concept of "Your Union" was introduced to reflect the fact that the Students' Association plays a part in almost EVERY aspect of students' lives in St Andrews - the most obvious example is providing entertainments, food and drinks at low pr...

Thanks for the comments.

The lineup hasn't yet been finalised (contracts are still being negotiated and some agents are slow in responding) so we haven't publicised any definites just yet.

Once we have confirmation, we'll release the full lineup.

Yep, it's on at the NPH. It's a good film - some very funny bits, but as Exnihilo suggests, it's basically an extended episode. Perhaps an episode and a half in 75mins of film. Some nice touches such as the blackboard gag, and the bits in the credits. People really ought to realise that if the credi...

They'll tax you "just in case" (the emergency tax).

At the end of the financial year, you can claim back any excess tax. Which means that it sucks for now, but you'll receive some extra cash next April!

Many things should be common knowledge, but you'd be surprised by how little some people know...
That may sound a little critical, but I don't mind.

An interesting point to note:

Make sure you're not paying too much tax!

Yes of course!

There are many student and professional photographers who would be willing to help out.

Anyone fancy a day's paintballing near Edinburgh on Sunday, July 1st? Approx £40 for the day, including lunch, transport and 300 paintballs. If you're interested, post a note on this thread, including your name and email. Here's the Facebook page for it: http://standrews.facebook.com/event.php?eid=2...

Full marks to those who spotted that this isn't a rebranding, nor is it a change, nor will it cost any money. Points deducted from those who think it has anything to do with "leaving one's mark" or that it's about jumping on any bandwagon (the title of the email was intended to cause a little stir a...
