"There will be no end to the troubles of the state or indeed of humanity until philosophers become kings or until those we now call kings really and truly become philosophers"

I doubt students are done any favours by being repreented by the NUS to be honest. My experience of it when I was an 'oodent was that it was a hotbead of left-wing extremism. Nice to see it actually talking about something relevant to students though rather than worrying for some inexplicable reason about Israel and Palestine. Let's be honest it's a bit cool to be all politically agitated and angry when you're younger. That's why all the best rock music is anti-establishment in some way. Most of the people there yesterday went because they thought it would be a laugh, they like the buzz of protest and it was better than lectures/work/watching Countdown.

That should not really annoy you. They weren't repsonsible for the state of the system when they were students and so there is no hypocrisy or contradiction in wanting to tighten it up.

If one or some of the accused whose pictures the Echo (or any other paper) published have been found not guilty then the Echo (or any other paper, see above) has a moral duty to post a story equally as prominent to that effect (unless the people involved have asked them not to) in my opinion.

Sort of but not deepest darkest West Country. As fortune should have it, I will probably be working near Swindon that day and the next day so am definitely tempted by a night back in Soton.

That's an interesting point. Particularly if "country" was taken to be "England".

Most of the experts seem to think we'll find proof of alien life in about 55-70 years. On the bright side, the aliens might be right little tits.

How old are you?

This post is awesome.

Multiverse.

Yeah, the kind of person who would do that would be a mo-****ing goddarn legend.

I actually agree with that! Sort of.

Tubgirl is a reaonable approximation to a unified theory, when you really think about it. And if you look hard enough you can see her Higg's.

Before December 10th? I have a quality weekend planned.

a) Steady State b) Infinite Expansion c) Big Crunch Please give your answer with reasons. Ta.

Who are they?

I think Barnard has a better touch and is probably a better goalscorer. I think Ormerod is faster and probably has better movement. I think, on balance, they are both exactly as good as each other.

Aye, thus proving they were overpaid in the public sector FFS.

So basically what the club statement said. Things weren't working and it was necessary to make a change. Hold the back page!

Is anyone able to translate this please?

Those comments made me laugh too. What precisely made this a "big game with a big crowd"? Cotterill seems to be as much of an idiot as Grant was.

Rather take bribery in the last year of a government than Labour's spiteful and abhorrent slash and burn.

I don't buy into the notion that SMS has poor transport links (save for, perhaps, the small number of people with mobility difficulties who might need to park at it). It is a 20 min walk from Soton Central and a 10-15 minute walk from numerous town centre car-parks. What do people want? A clear drive through to a heated, covered, concierge-serviced allocated space? A heli-pad on the roof? It's certainly much easier to get to, with more options, that many other grounds I've visited.

I thought it was typical Skate luck but it sounds like the ref redeemed himself at the end. Nice ban picked up for Lawrence too.

I love the way Warnock states his views and then says, right at the end, "but I'm not going to get into that"! Er...
