I remember when I was about 15 and had no idea of the stigma attached to a general degree it seemed a perfect way of combining lots of disparate interests of mine rather than sticking to one regimented programme. Alas the only person I know who got a general degree was in effect booted out of the un...

1.Jump off the end of the pier (preferably while the tide is in) 2. Get fish and chips in Anstruther 3. Have sex in either the library or the castle. 4. Go into one of those shops you've walked past a million times and never stopped at, i.e. the persian rug place on South Street, Psyche's Garden, th...

I wouldn't worry about. St Andrews actually has the exact combination of young white middle class people/boutique coffee shops/liberal bias to sustain good reception for an iphone. Steve Jobs is like a god here.

"waiting for someone to at least strike up a conversation" All your problems are contained in those 10 words. It's actually very arrogant, when you think about it, to wait for others to talk to you first. It assumes first of all that nobody is worth your time, secondly that people can read...

If they fire you for no good reason all this is gold for an employment tribunal. Having been to one recently myself as an assistant I can tell you justice is very slow though, if they don't settle you could be waiting 2+ years for a resolution. Helps to know a good lawyer who knows a barrister and e...

That is the first time I have laughed out loud for a very long time on here archie, many thanks!

What about your post is not reactionary, ad hominems against the author or "GET OVER IT NERD PLAY SOME FUGGIN SPORTS"? Nothin' wrong with being for the status quo ante , history isn't one great big progressive march towards utopia. Certainly not in education and most astonishingly so in s...

Embedding schools within wider communities, as the school sport partnerships aim to do, is admirable. However, if we fetishise "competitive school sport" we hark back ideologically and nostalgically to empire, a movement culture of hierarchical male leadership, and to what Professor Fred ...

"random adventures involving dancing"

What is a "men's group" ?

Right. So I'm graduating today and I've just noticed that I'm expected to wear a white bow tie. A WHITE BOW TIE. Where can I get that? Does any one of you have one to spare for a few hours? If so, text me on +33672667594. Cheerio Victor A WHITE bow tie? WHITE? http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:TTv...

Does anyone else think we should have LP do a little summation at the end of a debate? I rather like it.

As this is the sinner I'll add a disclaimer to say that was NOT intended as sarcasm.

Hennessy, Since I actually know Merlin (he's my academic father) I'll point out that you really don't know anything about him and that his political views are very much genuine. It's easy to be snarky on the internet, but you could try being a little politer when referring to people by name who you...

[quote="Razboz"]Hey St Andrews, i found something for you to do on Tuesday 30th: make redundant class divide Management Whether you're a worker, claimant Having just endured 24 hours of tube strike courtesy of one Mr Bob Crowe Esq to prevent redundancies , preserve the class divide (that's...

I just received an invite to this, despite being in London, but I thought I'd come on the Sinner anyway and show my support for your noble cause. Reading through quickly I notice a "Merlin" and a "Tallulah" are organising it. No problem, I'm open minded, I could hold hands with a...

NIEN!

Hang the bastards. That used to work. Did it? Are you sure? Would have stopped that vile axe-murdering sack of shit from gloating at us all through the medium of telly. I find myself fully in support of the death penalty. Failing that, and because of all this Ghandi "eye for an eye" crap,...

Some people seem to think this is some kind of slippery slope. As well as finding that phrase childish and pretty meaningless Lots of philosophers would disagree with you... and I'm siding with them, not you. I think my point was there is too much philosophising about the prison system and prisoner...

Deleted!

Hang the bastards. That used to work. Prisoner: "I want my rights!" Public: "What rights? You're scum." (Cheerful music plays in background as prisoner is whipped and beaten for his insolence) Far too many learned gentlemen have spent decades finnessing arguments which reflect id...
