New students and dustbins...

[sandyRoe]

What is it about a row of bins waiting to be empties that proves so attractive to new students? Half the bins in the street were tipped over last night. We should all be thankful, I suppose, that it was only the blue bins, papers + tins, that were out.

They haven't settled down yet. When they're into 2nd and 3years, they'll tut and say, what a childish thing to do.

[factor-fiction]

Hopefully it's just Freshers' Week larking about and they'll settle down

[sandyRoe]

True enough. Once they find their capacity for drink things settle.

Wonder if it's the same lot that shoved over a load of gravestones in the local cemetery on Wednesday night....there is a college near by.???

Sad B***ers!

When I was a student I did not have the money / time to get drunk.
I did not tip bins over and I do not think anybody I lived with did that type of thing.

[Brimoan]

I did not shove gravestones over.
I can not remember going in a graveyard when I wa a student.

Mobilise the vigilantes and beat-up any students found out after dark.

Do students say tut?

[joggerjayne]

I think they make a tutting noise, rather than actually saying "tut"

[Brimoan]

Hang on.
In winter on many lectures did not finish till after dark.
Mind you I saw a night club advert for a students night on a Wednesday and it closed at 4am.
How could the students get up for lectures the next day?.
Some of them started at 8.45am in my day.

[ummmm]

Because they don't have lessons everyday.

[Sqad]

ummmm is quite correct............I was talking to someone yesterday and their daughter is on a "degree course"(whatever that now means) and for 3 of the days in the week she only has a one hour lecture each day.

What's that all about?

[Brimoan]

It was very unusual for us not to have lectures on Monday to Friday.

[ummmm]

My son is doing A Levels (3). He has lessons 4 days a week but most days just 2 lessons a day.

When I did A Levels we only had to be in school for our lessons. My son HAS to be in everyday, on time. If they are not in lessons they are expected to be in the library.

[ummmm]

But looking at his shoes, he's playing football.

[sandyRoe]

And some can't even hold their drink judging from the pools of vomit about the place.
Tut!

[giveup]

Hope it was'nt in Plymouth.
