This is a question Common

Freddy Woo writes, "My wife thinks calling the front room a lounge is common. Worse, a friend of hers recently admonished her daughter for calling a toilet, a toilet. Lavatory darling. It's lavatory."

My own mother refused to let me use the word 'oblong' instead of 'rectangle'. Which is just odd, to be honest.

What stuff do you think is common?

heh
it's really bad isn't it!? 'University Outfitters' apparently. the edinburgh shop is on george st (which I think is a new, bigger shop?) so enough said which Uni in particular they're trying to fit. It's certainly not Napier!

P.S you're right about them being stuck up and posh and twats. occasionally you meet a nice one but I can't help but feel they're being condescending or feeling sorry for me. I even pulled one once. I think most of the neighbourhood has though.

P.P.S. yes, you are also correct about that. 6 years I've been here and I know about 3 Scottish people. 4 including myself!

the shame
i kissed a posh boy once when i was out. i was very very reluctant. and to make things all that more worse he said.

"oh come on yah!" before his mates pushed out heads together and the inevitable happened.
he tasted of cheap wine

i cried myself to sleep that night

My bestest friend in the world
Lives in Musslebrough so I have to wade through the tossers to get to the bus stop. Which incidentally is on George Street which incidentally is across the road from Jack Wills.

P.S. My friends at Napier are the greatest ever. Shame their lumbered in a city with those wankers.

I went to Napier
and it's fine. In fact the only people who slag it off are those who went to Edinburgh Uni...wankers.

I was going to go to Napier but for some reason I favoured employment
Rather than being given £1000+ every term for reading books. What was I thinking?

You'll learn
Which is more than anyone does at Napier. And yes, I will have fries with that.

i've found that the people who *really* slag off Napier
are the ones who have worked there for any length of time

The Napier outfitter
is TKMaxx, innit? Which is appropriate, because working there is about as much as Napier "graduates" can hope for. Poor suckers.
