cos you have to dig around to find it...

oxford student

Exeter • appears in His Dark Materials.

Somehow, I feel that any attempts to persuade them will go unheeded. Especially given the diffi culty you’d have getting them to talk to someone outside college. There are enough dull people in the world already. Turl Street doesn’t need to provide three colleges full of them.

The façades of the buildings are lovely, but surely the insides could be put to better use; homeless shelters, a war veterans club, centres to aid failed Union hacks gain some perspective? Why not kill two birds with one stone by letting the residents provide some entertainment whilst simultaneously culling a few? I propose a fi ght to the death between the three colleges.

I think we should boycott the oxford student, and only read the cherwell!

//look at us- we're not even there yet and we've already formed a powerful political alliance, allied ourselves with wadham, boycotted a newspaper, and reinforced the ongoing battle between lincoln and brasenose! Let's hope we meet our offers then...

mad!

Who is this person... find his college and burn it down...not to say the dude can't type... there is usually not space between fi-ght

C'mon now, let's not get personal about colleges....

Jesus, Jesus, Jesus! (that's not supposed to be a religious chant...) or if you prefer Turl Street, Turl Street, Turl Street!

Gee thanks...if it was 'our' Jesus I don't think we would really need too much holy water to back him up...

Emma Norris, JCR President at Somerville, views such college warfare as "exactly the sort of wanky rubbish that gives Oxford a bad name"

Sorry I misremembered - Laura Veirs was the other gig down Cowley (at the Zodiac) - I saw The Decemberists at ULU in London. It was beyond a shadow of a doubt the best gig I've ever been to! :smile:

Have you heard Picaresque?

lol... I thought New was against everyone though... Teddy hall, Wadham, Herford, Magdalen (but everyone seems to be against them... it's hard to be pretty... :biggrin:

)

Doesn't Wadham and New have a long time feud?

yeh... but it's always New vs Someone... :biggrin:

So far i've gathered a few long time rivaries:

Lincoln vs brasenose

Queen vs Teddy hall

Pembroke vs Christ Church (Pink cow accident... :toofunny:

)

Balliol vs Trinity (Still wanna know how the anti-trinity song go...)

Exeter vs Jesus+Lincoln (no wonder the Jesus porters left us side in the rain... we never! We can understand that you guys are jealous of our brilliant garden and view, afterall we understand how hard it is to be beautiful, but someones gotta do it...and teaming up is just low!) :p:

CHCH vs CC

The Northern Alliance Vs Magdalen

hmm...where is the love :rolleyes:

When are noobs gonna work out that Cowley is the coolest bit of Oxford - best pubs, music, curries... I saw the Decemberists and Stephen Fretwell down there this summer. It sometimes feels like it's the only bit of Oxford with any life to it.

EDIT: this is no doubt an OTT response to the above quote :rolleyes:

but has been building up ever since Fleur (I think) said she was too scared to go down Cowley. :eek:

I never said it wasn't cool :p:

, just far away for me at least :smile:

. The Zodiac is a fantastic venue :biggrin:

Up the Nose.

That is all.

(Actually, I also want to say I don't agree with that quote from Emma Norris posted above. It's just a bit of "fun". I know a couple of Lincolnites - and they do have a nice bar...)

The Zodiac is a fantastic venue :biggrin:

You seen anyone good there? (Or have favourite nights there?)

Fretwell was awesome :smile:

but this Danish couple supporting and singing something I can only describe as vibrato-country-with-too-many-teeth, made for one of the most excruciating half-hours of my life. :eek:
