Current Poll: What do you really think?

[Sid]

I know, but it's just that sometimes the bus nights aren't convenient for everyone. It's ok getting a stagecoach bus through but then you have to think about the taxi fare back. Sometimes you go out in St Andrews and even although you don't plan on drinking lots it happens, this is the kind of night where a nightclub would be great. I'm not thinking on the scale of Fat Sams, somthing nice and informal like Sessions (if that's what it's still called - the one where you enter and go downstairs.)

Also, no offence to Dundonians, they're an alright species, but I'd like to go to a nightclub that just has St Andrews folk, I think it would make a nicer atmosphere, and also there would be less whores.

Of course there's nothing wrong with a drink and a dance, I just can't see why St Andrews needs a nightclub when Dundee is a bus ride away.

You're one to talk Grandpa, I remember you telling me about your special morning coffee.

I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. I have never had 'special morning coffee'. I think you must have got me mixed up with someone else.

Let's see...

Train Station: I think that it would help with the overcongestion of the town every day, I'm not sure it would be much faster in terms of transport, as the current bus link from Leuchers runs at all hours and takes less than 10 minutes.
Swimming Pool: There's already a swimming pool! And it's fairly cheap if you buy a decent pass.
M&S: No need for this whatsoever. We have Tesco, Somerfield, Alldays, Morrisons, and a host of other shops.
Nightclub: St Andrews is too small to cater for an actual nightclub, and realistically, I don't think any prospective nightclub would get a late liscense anyway.
McDonalds/Burger King/KFC: I'm on the bench on this one. Sometimes I feel like getting a real fatty greasy meal, having a fast food shop that wasn't a kebab house that catered for that would be nice, but on the whole I don't think it would suit the atmosphere of the town, and wouldn't be that well received.
Charity Shop: there's about 7 or 8 already!

The other 2 options are clearly jokes, so no comment on them.

Grandpa has his own idiosyncratic, and often impenetrable, take on English.

That or he's a fool and jennyo isn't. AWOL means Absent WithOut Leave, which is meaningless in the context in which you used it, grandpa.

Fool. It says awol ON you, not awol FROM you. It's a variant of 'awol from' something and is more symbolic of 'going wild' on someone than anything else, and if you aren't familiar with it then I suggest you don't comment on it.

how can you say they're devoid of rationale. i lived in st andrews for 2 years and never had a decent night out. tell me all the good places to go that i obviously missed. prove me wrong.

Well If you gave up the chance to study at one of the UKs finest universities because of the lack of nightlife you shoudl really ask yourself;

1/ why are you at university?
2/ why did you choose to come to a univeristy in a small town far from civilisation?

I mean really, what weer you expecting to find? A Ministry of Sound?

I won't shut up and go away, sorry. You talk drivel, I point it out. I don't look down on people who disagree with me, I argue against them. When I argue against you always take it personally and/or make it personal - betraying a weakness of mind and of argument. You really need to learn what your signature means and try harder to live up to the various (disjointed) sentiments of it. That or try engaging with arguments better and phrasing your points intelligibly that way, radically, people might understand them and engage back. Clearly, though, you prefer to simply blather your grandiloquent drivel and then round on people who question it. As many people have asked you - why did you bother coming to university, given that you know it all already?

Wasn't someone else about here supposed to be going AWOL by this point?

Personally, a more attractive offer of a swimming pool would be great, and probably more attractive had the AU had one. However, I'm happy to do with the one we've got...for now.

What we really need is a Lazerquest...

Such a lie.

[Grandpa]

Barry, why don't you just bogg off.

Just because you cannot understand my use of language does not mean that I am wrong in what I say.

That you are more confused of my explaination than anything else is firstly evidence of the above, and secondly, evidence that you have a literal and pedantically unswaying take on english - such as one might find in a dictionary. But, and this you would do well to learn, your english will necessarily differ from that of some one 5, 10 or more years younger than you, due simply to the fact that wherever you come from language will be different, and more so from generation to generation, either in the same place or elsewhere.

Assuming you're addressing me, grandpa, I don't bogg [sic] off because my contributions here are at least (at very least) as valuable as yours.

Apparently you just don't like being disagreed with or pointed up as a fool - the solution might be to be less disagreeable and foolish, no?

[jequirity]

Lifes not all about arguments you lot. Liven up. Personally i wouldn't mind seeing another cd/record store, on the poll however, i chose charity shop, especially if it was a specialized bookstore one. I love the Barnardos one, it has some decent, fairly cheap books.

Actually, I think your contributions are less valuable than mine - seeing as this is a website for the use of St Andrews students, not exclusively so, but someone who is not a student here is necessarily going to have a lesser extent of use, and thus feedback on the matters contained herein.

As I said, bog off.
