Up Front: It's Not Sex, and It's Not Education, in reply to BenWilson,
The name game... sobriquets, bouquets & brickbats
My pseudonymed personality is a fucking gangster.
There is a lot of that about... one of the saddest things I ever read on PA was when one of l'il P's P-Personas (IIRC) was called on why he was so confrontational and angry on PA, but largely mild and positive on his own blog (which I can no longer find) and he said "...because my kids read my blog!"

Put an ad on the noticeboard in the caf?
Who runs the cafes?
I thought the Student Unions often controlled these...
Perhaps a coloured triangle system could be introduced to identify Student Union members who can access these facilities, or a two-tier pricing set up?
Ditto for Student Health clinics... -
Up Front: It's Not Sex, and It's Not Education, in reply to Russell Brown,
I have wondered in the past about setting up a discussion about sex...
... and an open science one would be good too...

I give you Aeterno Elementum.
Leaden stuff, nickel-backed with lotsa chrome...
And hasn't The Rocky Horror Show tapped

Marvel creation - Adamantium... -

Southerly: Tower Insurance Have Some Bad…, in reply to Just thinking,
I hear there’s (a) deal in the wings over the BoR.
The Chchch we now live in is an "RSA about face" place....

A study in scarlet...
I realised the largely useless nature of the political side of the SU’s when half the people running for the exec of the NUS were boasting of having held sabbatical positions for something like 5 years, as if this was a reason for taking their commitment seriously, instead of thinking ‘Geez, time to graduate and get a life doing something real to change the world’.
aaah, the David Caygill years at U of Canterbury.... still, look at him now - a real PowerMan!
and Joel Cosgrove was the clever dick who chose his favourite "I (heart) my penis" teeshirt to wear in the front row of a graduation ceremony - classy stuff! </sigh>
Though I have never been to University, I think the SAs help with the socialisation of students/people and I can't see the current model of University management stepping in to fill that void, and I suspect it can be a lonely place for the shy, hell if National gets back in we'll be lucky if they don't sell the universities, or at least turn them nto PPPs.

...but I had to pipette some samples...
Pipette always makes think of a chorus line
of tiny girls in long stockings, never lab work...
Sounds like a personal problem, I know! -
spit n pollish...
Is there a "Faust Past the Post" option?
In which we contract the Government we want
at the crossing place, naturally...
