University of Glasgow blether thread

You forgot football.

See: Religion

Lmao +1 tomorrow when I've got rep.


I can expect people to watch NED's and start asking questions whether it is real.

Glad you took it in the spirit it was intended, came across a bit cheeky

My mate knows someone that says the cast of NEDs got thrown out of the private showing (put on for the cast) 'cos they brought in Buckfast and were fighting amongst themselves. I'm guessing it will be fairly real, since the cast was authentic.

Although, the tagline is wrong: NED doesn't stand for Non Educated Delinquent (surely that would be UN Educated? A UED?), but is a shortened form of Teddy Boy. Facepalm and a half.

Does anyone else struggle to send email via the student emails through their android phones?

I got told it was Non Educated Delinquent when I came to Scotland...

It's a backronym. The Teddy Boys became the Teds (rather dead than a ted, and all that jazz, mind? Before our time, never mind....) and then Neds. And then, someone went "Whatsaned?" and hence the definition was invented without any explanation of the stupidity of "non-educated".

Most folk believe it, too

You at/coming to Glasgow? Just asking, 'cos the polite way to inform us all seems to be starting a thread asking about the likelihood of being stabbed due to race/religion/being English/being in Glasgow.

Welcome, regardless

What year are you in?

Also: what forums do you moderate?

Ah well, I like the non-educated delinquents...because it makes a nice contrast to chav (council housing and violence)

The UED? sounds like some paramilitary group haha one of my sisters friends was in the cast. The director just walked up to him on the street one day, now he's studying acting full time. Crazy or what?

really? Because aren't Ned's just the Scottish version of chavs? Who are absolutely nothing like the Teddy boys of whenever they were around ...

I'm at Glasgow, and I've not been stabbed yet

Good to know.

I just call them bams, really. Although, yes, the snobbery of the Chav backronym sticks in the craw



Ulster's Ecstasy Dealers. Probably the more accurate than their current grandiose titles

That's mental, really good for him though.




Aye, the Teddy boys were known for being violent, hence the leap. Things evolve man.




We can see to that

Fair enough - I was just thinking in terms of dress sense they were pretty different to neds! But the violence thing links them.

1st year law

Reasonably good for an eng lit lecturer (i took a lot of notes!)
I voice recorded it so I can send you it if you give me your email address!
