You're not being prejudiced are you? :rolleyes:

I know one guy from Eton and he's really cool.

He plays rugby for his county, got 15 A* GCSE and 5 A's A-Level, he is off to Cambridge to study Classics.

But more to the point I have been to two of his parties and they were awesome - the best I have ever been to. :biggrin:

I think you're wrong to judge a book by it's cover; or a person by their school.

I said what I did to get a reaction (attention seeking!), although there probably is truth in some of it. I'd love to have gone to a posh party!

wat they went to eton?
Hmm. I've never crossed the path of an Etonian personally, though I have many friends who have.

I remember this one time when my friend's brother was in a rugby team about to play Prince Harry (he was in the rugby team too...). Their entire rugby team mobbed Harry and aimed their attack against him. Not sure who won but this was at least four/five years ago :smile:

Another friend of mine (Medic, Magdalen College, Oxford) met an Etonian at her interview. In the party, he sat in the corner, ignoring everyone and read a book. Hmm. His name was Rudolph (it was December) :biggrin:

But yes. I want to meet an Etonian...

I'm sure Will Young didn't.

I know a guy from Eton. He's normal enough, apart from being a muso. But that's a different thing entirely :tongue:

It's Cambridge slang - either a music student or someone who spends their whole time doing musical things, be they choir, orchestra, anything like that. Clare is full of them.

My friend went to Eton. Its not a big deal, its a school. I went to prep school with him, he isnt stuck up in anyway. When he came home one summer he brought some friends up, they werer all sound, yes posh but they wern't arrogant in anyway. People forget you only go there for five years, not a long time in the scheme of things.

i agree... most etonians aren't up themselves at all, although there will always be stereotypes.

Hehe Wellington. Strange that a top southern rugby school would spawn such a gaylord.
