At Posh Universities, you have the JuniorCR, which is basically yer normal
student union full of drunk undergraduates, fights and jailbait (hmmm,
sounds quite nice when you put it that way) and the SCR where the graduate
students and lecturers hang out, sipping tea and nibbling on biscuits
and talking about deep meaningful stuff.

Mmmm.  Looking at 6.1 and 6.2 I'm not sure where this list would be, or
indeed whether there is any point to it.  Ho-hum.  Actually, I'm quite
surprised Simon remembered to create it, cos he was *very* drunk on
Thursday :-)

If you save all your money for three years, you'll be able to afford this
new computer.  If, however, you blow all your money on poker, booze and
loose women - you'll still be able to afford it in three years.
