    No I have applied to do Oriental Studies at Pembroke. Is it true that first years call the college, Pemmers? Should i do the same?

    'Pemmers'? I haven't heard this. I could ask my grandpa who went there in the 1920s? Would that do?

    What do you like about Oriental Studies?

    I have a friend who is doing that at Pemmers too!

    He's called Michael Robinson

    Really you know a Michael Robinson? Do you know he rutted all over my Maiela?

    Oriental studies is just the best subject ever. No other subject lets you reach into parts of your body that you thought you could never reach.

    oooh get you. No, it is not called Pemmers. By anyone. Occasionally Pem by lazy people like me but most people just say pembroke. When were all your interviews? I was helping out and spent most of my afternoons sitting in the same seat for five hours and playing games.
