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

Thursday :-)

loose women - you'll still be able to afford it in three years.
