Don't care about the immaturity, but what is the connection between the chapels being Christian (which, surprise, they all are!) and having all male choirs?

Only three colleges still have boy trebles - King's, John's and Jesus. Everywhere else is mixed.

And the organ scholar, for whoever asked, has to play at services (3 a week at Clare; 6/7 at King's, can't remember) help direct the choir and generally be an assistant to the Director of Music. We have 2 organ scholars; think most colleges do that. For this, they get paid a small amount of money, get a free piano in their room and get to go on tours and stuff for free.

Good thinking batwoman. Nice to see the word "bugger" in use - being from Devon I say it a lot here in Cam and don't realise that some people find it offensive and not just an expression.

damn, people here are too easily offended, I swear like a navvy and occasionally I notice people being offended but I've been doing it habitually for so many years I don't care any more.

Hardly anyone around here understands the concept of chavs until you tell them they're scallies. So many people are sheltered. I worried the f*** out of one of my friends by making him watch trainspotting, lock stock, res dogs and pulp fiction; none of which he'd seen before coming to uni. He was very disturbed, especially by the OD scene in pulp fiction.
