EMERGENCY:Wrote an e-mail to Cambridge which they found 'threatening', BIG trouble...

Very good cambio, but imo the xplanation for the live to regret thing sounds disingenuous and as a result treats them like idiots. Id have to see the full e-mail first. It probably reads nothing like the style of his first e-mail either.

at other people's suggestion I have deleted that post that you have now quoted. You're right of course that the writing style is likely to be different but I had posted it as a model rather than as a message that he might have cut and paste.

With regard to the explanation for "I hope you'll live to regret this" being disingenuous, I can't imagine what else might have informed it but the want to suggest that their decision will prove to have been a mistake. Plainly he is not threatening to have a wee in the fellows' garden or give someone's book on Etrsucan pottery a withering Amazon review.

I will delete likewise. Bit overcautious imo.

its majority state-funded though

So you're in year 12, you haven't even got your grades yet let alone even applied for either uni and yet you were previously talking about how it'll be easy for you and your privately-educated buddies to get in? Looks like in addition to your insecurity about your skin colour, you also suffer from a superiority complex.
