Really? Noone wipes their jizz off the floor at St Andrews?

Or is the mess all caused when they miss the crackers?

Dear University of St Andrews,

This Freedom of Information request concerns the "masturbation

notice" allegedly created by the University of St Andrews, and

which has been floating around the Internet for a while; see one

example at

http://www.neilmonnery.co.uk/2011/11/14/...

1) Please inform me of whether or not the notice is genuine, and if

it is genuine, of how many copies are currently on display around

the University.

2) Please provide me with an electronic copy of all internal

correspondence regarding the decision to create the notices.

Incidentally, if the answer to question (1) is that the notice is

an Internet forgery, then I must apologise for this rather

tasteless message!

Yours faithfully,

Steve Elibank

Dear Steve

Thank you for your FoI Request re “Masturbation Notice”.

The notice to which you refer is not an official university notice. It was

a student prank, and regrettably not even an original prank. The notice

appears to be a copycat issue of a similar text which appeared recently at

Durham and Lancaster universities and a number of universities in the

States. A quick check on Google should give you more information about

these incidents should you require it.

A strong clue that the notice is fake is the line “Please go home and

masturbate if you are bored.” As a matter of policy, the University would

never encourage students to go home during term time.

I understand that two copies of the notice were attached, with chewing

gum, to doors of the male toilets in the University of St Andrews Main

Library on or about the afternoon of Sunday November 13^th 2011. The

notices were removed by Library staff shortly afterwards.

Far from having a policy on masturbation or outlawing the practice, as the

bogus notice alleged, the University encourages the study of it,

academically at least. Among the titles in the University Library is

“Solitary Sex : A Cultural History of Masturbation” by Thomas Walter

Laqueur, pub Zone Books, New York, 2003.

Available from the short loan section, and as of 3 p.m. this afternoon,

one copy still available to borrow.

I trust this answers your request, but if you require any further

information, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Kind regards

Niall

Maybe I should have revived the "Most famousest person you've ever met" thread but I laughed out loud when I discovered this old photo of myself that was taken in 1984. I had a little more hair back then :)

I am on the left and it was taken when a friend and I, representing my trade trade association, presented two Variety Club Sunshine Coaches to a school for pupils with severe handicaps.

The headmaster is on the guy on the right right but can you youngsters identify the musician in the middle? Clue he is is 11 months younger than me!

Well done Mr Tele! Roger was only 40 back then but he still looks the same today unlike me.

He does a lot of good things and is a good guy altogether.
