The Big 'Which Cambridge College?' Thread

some stupid peasant trying to start an online argument.

This trainwreck of a thread is totally 'hilar'...

lol.com!!

Lol I'm dyslexic, I have difficulty with spelling, sorry if that's offending you. I try to spell correctly but I find it hard. And wtf yes I can read. I find it ammusing how you're blatently some stupid peasant trying to start an online argument.

I honestly don't have a problem with poor people lol.

As the title of the thread says really. Having spend my secondary school years in a not private but lets just say very 'middle class' school trying to be private (the whole flashing parents' cash, rah, 5 bedroom houses next to people on EMA type thing). At a more balanced sxith form college now, but considering which colleges to go for in my cambridge application just wondering which of the above colleges is most 'rah' or cliquey. (These are the ones that I liked sound of the most basically).
I know some people say it doesn't matter all that much, but i was really not happy at this previous school and definitely don't want to go somewhere with a similar atmosphere.
Any help, or other info on the 'feel' of these colleges would be much appreciated!
Thanks =)

Wow, that was obviously directed at me...

I love how everytime I say something bad about chavs, TSR gets all up in arms about it, but people can say whatever inverse snobbery they want, and that's okay.

You can't read. I clearly stated that there are not chavs in the university but in the city. Either you're blind or you can't read.

Dyslexia is just an excuse for being stupid, unlucky.

Yes, I'm a stupid peasant. I'm at Cambridge, I'm not rich, but I'm by no means poor. Parents both work in respectable positions at Bristol university.

The fact that you use peasant as an insult just shows what sort of person you are.

I'm not stupid my any stretch of the imagination lol.

To be honest, I don't think many people would want to be around rough people (ie. chavs). You've obviously had some bad experiences which has led to your vehement dislike of them. You've just sort of connected chavs with poor people which has led to TSR attacking you for it.

I've done the whole private school thing and no one went around declaring war on chavs. People just seem a little ignorant sometimes of the problems these people face (including, I admit, occasionally me). There needs to be more understanding/communication between different groups of people to prevent this sort of stereotyping (on both sides). You seem a perfect example of that problem...

Oh right, I never saw that post, appologies. that's crossing the line.

It was directed at you because you go on and on about 'those dirty evil chavs with their slang omg can't you speak proper English??' and then you say stuff like hilar and ridic and fail.com... which sound really really stupid.

And I know you'll say BUT THEY ARE REAL WORDS... it's STILL slang and it STILL sounds stupid.

They're a lot better than 'oryt bruv' and the like. Yes, they're informal, but they're not completely made up or twisted words.

Oh, you haven't crossed the line at all, have you?

******* hell. I'm not going through this again.

You can't say you hate slang and advocate speaking RP and 'proper' English and then go and use slang yourself. God, you're such a hypocrite!

I occasionally say words like "---.com", or "hilar/ridic", that's about it. It's not anywhere near in the same league as chav language.

You're correct. Chavs have enough brain power to invent new words. You can only remember half of a word so use that instead.
