"Prince William has decided to study art history at St. Andrews
University in Scotland."

"Founded in 1410, St. Andrews is Scotland's oldest university and the
third-oldest in Britain."

"St. Andrews is a relatively small institution situated in a small
historic town."

"St. Andrews is the only Scottish university where students wear
bright red capes."

Do you think that 'art history' is a cover for magical studies :)

You know, I think your clock is set wrong or something, your posts always
get sorted oddly - way out of sync by date so I have to go looking for them
somewhere in the long list of articles. It could easily be my problem as well
this news reader is pretty "beta".
Just a "heads-up".

There is no problem with my clock. However I generally compose replies off-
line then may not post them until I connect again which may be several
hours (or even more than a day) later. Therefore their will be a disparity
between the "timestamp" from my PC and the time at which they arrive on
your news server.

E.g. these two lines appear in the header of the message in question:

>Date: Fri, 18 Aug 2000 21:22:37 +0100
indicating that I composed the reply at 20:22:37 GMT on Friday evening,
and ...

>X-Trace: newsg3.svr.pol.co.uk 966692910 31135 62.136.50.23 (19 Aug
2000 13:48:30 GMT)
... which was when I connected to my ISP after finishing work on Saturday,
some 17 hours later.

Since Prince William came up in the newsgroup... Should we sort him? I know
he has a birthday coming up soon. What color are his eyes?

Drat, Vivienne, you found out our closely held secert. How do you think
it keeps getting grant monies in this economy?

Dan, I was attempting to deflect muggle interest in 'art' not engage it.
;-).

Anyway, sure any grants to MoMA hardly make a blip next to the budget for
the military.

That's MI5/MI6 - (MI for Military Intelligence). One of them certainly
does have a very pretty building on the Thames but no, far too obvious a
site.

However, there has always been the rumour that the one that deals with
internal security matters does keep files on members of the magical
community so much more likely to represent MoM's muggle equivalent :-).
