# "before you were a student"...
Like, while you were in a pram?

I have one of those lovely collapsable roadworks signs somewhere, but the fun's gone out of it for me 'cause my bruv-in-law does public works so I can get them from the source...

# I love my beer keg..


Not photoshopped... just stolen from a nearby student union.

Actually I think it's in the shed of the student house in question, so if you recognise the house (it's in Ipswich - but I ain't going to give a more precise address) - go have a look out back and see :)

# well, no
when i was a sixth-former. i had a big triangular one that said 'flood' and a smaller rectangle one that said 'pedestrians ->' and various cones.

# ahh yes
that's a lovely communal hobby of all sixth formers.

we have a few metres of "warning - buried electric cable" tape, a "danger - works site entry" sign, and a fire hydrant marker - one of the huge concrete jobs with the yellow "H" plaque on it.

# years ago
in Manchester (when I was a student) a bunch of us drunkenly pinched a big huge diversion sign, and for reasons that escape me were carrying it home. A dark blue van pulled up, so we decided that it was the police, who wanted to have some stern words with us. So we hurled the sign over a nearby garden wall, and started to sheepishly mill around. The bloke in the van wound down the window and asked us to (and I quote) 'Get that fucking sign out of my garden'.
