(Ballongdansen is one of my favourites on this site, but has been dead since 2011 for that reason.)
In terms of anything else to ask you about St Andrews, I guess just if there were any interesting mini-stories you noticed, e.g. people ending up more exposed than you would have expected of that person (even if not fully naked), or getting caught up in the moment, or making a big deal of it before or after...?

I thought this thread had died, checked back a few times and saw no responses so that's why I'm really late to responding to this.
There weren't loads of mini-stories I was particularly interested in as I didn't know most of the people there (of course, people who aren't on your year or in your course aren't seen much at all), but most of the interesting stuff came in discussions before and after. I've heard about a fair few people making a pact with friends to go nude next year as it's their last May Dip before leaving, which I'm sure happens every year. It's not talked about openly much, but I was in a group drinking where part of the game was to "drink if you've masturbated to the thought of [a specific girl] going topless at the May Dip" and some guy actually drunk at that point. Was really awkward, but funny to me and prompted a discussion about the dip. That specific girl was really hyped after it and I only caught I quick glimpse of her during the dip. She's made a few waves.
Of course, not many people I knew were the ones going nude (it's mostly a final year thing), but I'll add something to this when I have the time. Will leave it here for now as I've got to go.
