RE: Sinister: Are we all bourgeoisie now?!
The Oxford/Cambridge Yah Hooray Henry types don't exist. Well not in Cambridge anyway (except possibly Peterhouse College, but they don't count). Edinburgh Uni seems to be like Durham Uni; it's where all the Hooray Henrys go who think they have the right to go to Cambridge or Oxford because they've got lots of money, even though they've not got 2 brain cells to rub together, and then they find out that we don't take wankers like them here. Personally, I'm on a full student grant, which makes me just as down to earth as people anywhere else; all this "they go to Cambridge, they must be snobs" stuff is complete balls. Phew, that was a bit vitriolic, I don't know what came over me. [Keith Watson] Hey - relax - I didn't suggest that everyone who wen't there was like that - I did actually miss out the word "rejects" from the sentence which was actually what I meant to say. It is indeed like Durham Uni, Edinburgh - or at least so I'm told by my friend who went to Durham. How to describe these people... Dunno.... Home Counties, Inbred, Loud in public, very irritating? Difficult. Quite a number of my friends went to Oxford/Cambridge too. In any case, given the inbreeding I'd find it difficult to believe these people would make it as far as Oxbridge. Sorry - didn't mean to offend Keith. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .
