Especially i am the type of 'work hard party hard' person that spent most of my time in ireland/scotland before i came here. and they are not geeky enough so no gamburger mates and they cant drink /_\ | ||

I'll let you guess which word means which ... That's right, "Da" means good, unless it mutates, so sometimes it's "Dda" e.g. Prynhawn da - Good afternoon Noswaith dda - Good evening (Noswaith is feminine, so changes the da to dda (dd is pronounced as "th" as in "there" and not "fifth")). Nos Da means good night. NOW YOU CAN BE POLITE.

Oxford was the same. I remember dressing up to go to a club. | ||

We'd all bundle in someone's room and get completely destroyed, rather than doing it at a club. Something about it being cheaper that way and WE COULD ACTUALLY HEAR EACH OTHER. | ||

basically westminster doesn't give much shit about anything up north of cambridge, the people up north (York, Leeds, Birmingham etc) are generally more down to earth and 'normal', which is fine to me even if some towns are small, at least people are easy going and all. | ||

There are no more than 5 decent clubs to hang out in after the usual pub closing hour. You see people from the around small towns come in cambridge for nightout etc. As a young professional (cough) I have no problem to fit in but everything here is too tame for my taste.

GDBO the prelash with £4 sainsburys wine/special brew in rooms was an economic must if you actually wanted to get drunk and go clubbing. although i did have a few of those stereotypical posh oxbridge friends who were incredibly generous | ||

I've never been as hungover as I was at university. Except for the first time I played the Eurovision Drinking Game. That didn't end well. | ||
