If 1 million people going through the heart of London, giving Tony Blair the finger doesn't change his mind - nothing will. Well, I was thinking about whether or not all the protests were pointless and although I'm st...

We were shouted at and insulted for daring to have a different opinion. Clearly it is okay to protest against tbe war as that is freedom of sp...

For anyone who attends the meeting - apologies in advance for the truly dreadful slogan that's to be used on the election day fliers. All my fault. I still can't believe I came up with it.

There was a conditional in the title of my post for a reason, Mr. S. _If_ you don't think we should attack Iraq, _then_ you should come to the ...

Yes, it has been a bit confusing. As far as I can work out what happened is t hat the Stop the War coalition called for protests at 1pm the day war breaks out, but different towns have set slightly different times and St. Andrews has set 12.30.

...then at 12.30 on the day that war is declared, come to Church Square to demonstrate. There will be a demonstration in Church Square at 4pm tomorrow (Thursday) in any case. There's going to be a national demonstration in London on Saturday with a bus leaving from St. Andrews at 10pm on Friday nigh...

Oh, and there will be a RON campaign of some sort. Probably only fliers outside the Union on the day. (Hey, I'm a hardworking postgrad with anti-war campaigning to do too.) Hopefully, the main people organising it will have a thread up sometime tomorrow morning so that anyone who wants to help can g...

Marco's given his reasons for withdrawing from this election & they seem to me to be perfectly understandable. I've always had strong political convictions and many friends with high positions in student politics (at my previous university) but I've never been tempted to get involved myself. Why? Fo...

Anyone think RON has a serious chance? I would consider a RON campaign if so. But I don't know enough about St. Andrews student politics to judge whether it'd win.

Should somone be called Ron or have the initials R.O.N. they would be allowed to. Apologies for my imprecision. ;)

As luck would have it, I've run a (successful) RON campaign before. If it looks like there's enough support, I'd consider it again.

No, RON can't be represented at hecklings.

Is that what you did? Who won?

Oh, just to say that I didn't make it to the bop for the very good reason that I really don't like bops...

Yep. Good fun, good food, good company...

Well, I pretty much do do exactly what I want without real reference to whoever I'm going out with. But, the point that I was trying to get at is that there is still an expectation that women will change their natural appearance more than men will in order to seem attractive.

What this whole thread brings out is that there's still an expectation that women will do more to please men in terms of their physical appearance than men will to please women. Let's face it, all the average guy thinks he has to do is shave his face and even then he often won't consider it a big de...

It's a bit ironic though, because I hate my own pot belly and enormous thighs with a passion - hence the gym. It's funny how women (myself included) find it diffic...
