Dropbox is utterly amazing, I am totally dependent on it now. And well done on your inspection, that's amazing!

I loved Spartacus - RIP we watched both of the series. Never seen such an utter sausagefest on mainstream telly though! My straight male friend was expressing shock at the amount of willies on GoT (two?). I told him never to watch Spartacus. Cocks everywhere.

That describes pretty much every society here in Oxford, I swear.

OUCA in particular.

Oh god there is something so inherently disgusting about those guys isn't there? Not that the other political parties are much better; just less in your face abhorrent. If our Lib Dem soc is singing rude songs and throwing Hitler salutes when out and about at least no one hears about it.

Well, part of the problem is that OUCA and the worst aspects of the Union are one and the same (talk about, uhem, back channels). In the way that OULC and OUSU are not (they're more ineffective than abhorrent. Never did I feel more uncomfortable as a working-class comp kid in Oxford than when OUCA were about. Unfortunately at my particular college they were about in large numbers.

That sucks, to be honest I've never really had anything like that at university despite said background. The one time some idiot did make a few comments (midlandsish accent here, you see) I kindly bade him look at himself, and then at me, and wondered if he doubted I could dash him around the ground with little trouble. I find impending violence quickly shuts people up if they're unaccustomed to even the smallest physical disagreement.

In my department, though you would think it toff-central even those with the most ludicrous accents are reasonably nice. College wise I'm at St Anne's which is pretty whatever about everything.

I'm a Tory (sshh) and even I couldn't stand OUCA. Horrendous.

Had a three-day internal inspection at work earlier this week to try and prepare us for an OFSTED inspection sometime after Easter. The part that was related to me went extremely well: the women who observed said it was the best she had ever seen in any prison (and I think there could still be massive improvements so perhaps I have very high standards!).

Booked in some leave next week, which, with the bank holidays mean I will have all next week off. I think I might use this time to go to either/both Durham and Edinburgh to rape their libraries for resources.

Stumbled across a programme called Drop Box which is rather nifty this weekend.

Nice one And yup Drop Box is awesome!

Ah, well you're probably less antagonistic than me! I'm about as pragmatic as an Amazon army ant - what I lack in strength, though, I more than make up for in ferocity of tongue. St Anne's is indeed quite pleasant though I never had much reason to go there. I was at one of the pre-Reformation colleges, perhaps cos we're worth it.

Some nutjob from OUCA decided (in my first few weeks at Oxford) that I was going to be his girlfriend and proceeded to woo/stalk me. This despite the fact that he was anti-immigrant

Considering he'd probably come (no pun) from games of soggy biscuit in school, you must have seemed like an angel descended from the heavens.

What does "games of soggy biscuit" mean/refer to?

Edit: never mind, just Googled it

Teebs knows this guy. Apparently he had got banned from self-defence classes for "inappropriate touching". He was a weird one. SO glad I got rid of him when I did. I was about to set our Tutor for Women on him but thankfully he gave up. Apparently it was all my fault for going on a bouncy castle with him and then telling him that we couldn't be friends because it would be culturally scandalous (thus turning things into forbidden love)

I'm actually pretty surprised that has its own Wikipedia article. Urban Dictionary, sure, but Wikipedia? Must meet the criteria for being notable I guess!

Boys' boarding schools. I don't understand either.

Tiz very bizarre

Stalker Boy (as I call him) went to a mixed day school. Though I wouldn't put it past him to be involved in weird games like that...

This sounds identical to Cambridge. Including interchanging Peterhouse with 'my college'.

Dear lord the internet is a scary place! Saying that there is also a Wiki article for the Japanese/Korean "game" of sneaking up behind someone and shoving both your fingers into their anal cavity as a "surprise". I'll try to remember the name for it....

I've got drop box, but I haven't used it yet. Tbh, I take my laptop with me everywhere, so I don't haven't really yet found an occasion where I needed to use it. Still, its comforting to know I can access things remotely if I ever need to.

Lucky sod A few weeks ago in London I finally found the reflexes to punch the random guy who grabbed my arse in the street and yell insulting threats at him. Unfortunately he was too drunk to notice Usually when it happens, the person has gone by the time I react. Knocking him out would have been much more satisfying...
