Don't forget STCS :-) Who's running it this time round ?
by STCS SU 2004 - Sun 18th Jan 2004, 9:26pm
I have a few candidates for running STCS this year, and have spoken to all of them, but I've not made a choice yet. I'll probably make a choice sometime within the next week.

They're voting for the best bits, so they must love Lent term rowing.

Check the source code. I think you'll find "<sarcasm>" before my comment and "</sarcasm>" after it....

I can't see it. Martin's parser obviously doesn't have a very highly developed sense of irony - perhaps he cribbed it from an american site?
by Lent term is even worse when all you've got to look forward to in Nat Champs - Mon 19th Jan 2004, 12:13pm
Don't forget Cardinals!

I didn't forget it, I just ignored it :-)

...is that a Nat Champs brag perchance, Esther? :)
by not bragging - Mon 19th Jan 2004, 1:44pm
no. i'm complaining that we do nothing in our club but train for an event that happens once a year on a windy ugly bit of water and we'll probably not win. Somewhat like the boat race i suppose

Yeah, I suppose it must feel a bit like that in Oxford...

I did. But that's because [buft]in my day[/buft] we won it. I also voted for "It's cold" because Rich nearly got hypothermia one outing when it was snowing. Ah, happy memories...

Had to go for the gap after bumps, although (indeed, because) [buft]it's not an anti-climax when you indulge in zymurgo-Egyptology[/buft] ;-)
