If someone takes the lid off you don't have to do it :P I've specifically asked for a bottle with a lid in curry garden before to prevent engineer pennying!

At a swap you have to have a bottle of wine really...as a petite girl I can handle drinking, although perhaps not downing it!


I've never been to curry garden - is it not BYOB?

Swap or formal (my college lets you take whole bottles in, unlike one or two I've heard of). Though sober formals are often quite entertaining, watching everyone else :tongue:

Now the Mahal's shut everyone's going to be going to CG :P but no it's not BYOB - although, £15 for a bottle of wine and a curry makes it cheaper than Mahal was anyway and the food's not bad! It's much much much nicer than Mahal (and very close to my college)

Do some colleges not let you take a bottle into formal??? My college allows a bottle per person but doesn't allow pennying! At Midway one of the options is with a bottle of wine! (sadly, it's the day before lents day 1 and as a cox I'll be on a drinking ban...) I don't really enjoy being the only sober person around - sometimes it's amusing but sometimes it just gets boring if everyone else is really drunk!!!

Oh right - most people I know have just been headed to Curry King :tongue:

Some only let you take half bottles in - Clare and Queens I think I know of, but there might be more?

Ah, that's why rowing sucks :tongue: I had to do a sober formal before a college test, you hear some interesting stuff :wink:

I've never been to Curry King actually...but I suppose it's partly just that Curry Garden is so close for us to go back to our bar!

Oh wow, ok, that sucks!

Rowing's great :tongue: (although perhaps something you wither love or hate...) I couldn't drink at my law society annual dinner because of Mays and yes, you do hear some interesting stuff! I suppose it can be quite funny to laugh at other people's antics sometimes!!

As to studying all day everyday that really depends on how productive you are. If you work productively 9-6ish 6 days a week then I reckon that will be more than sufficient for most people to get at least a mid 2:1


I really don't think I'll be able to do university. Let alone study at Cambridge :eek:

3 years? Kudos for the epic necro-post.

I anyone is working 9-6, 6 days a week for the entirety of their time at university and they only get a 2:1, then I would really question what they are doing with their time.

I studied Genetics at Queen Mary in London (not Cambridge obviously, but still not a weak uni,) and I pretty much attended the absolute minimum amount of tutorials/lectures possible without getting deregistered. Term time was drinking time, and the books only came out in exam period. I still managed a high 2:1 with a first in my dissertation.

Don't be frightened by people spending 40 hour weeks in the library who are still struggling academically. I know people who used to spend their life in the library, but would basically be socialising/messing about, who failed to get 2:1+.
