much as i loved my time at university
in hindsight i'd have taken a year out to have another crack at oxford. then if i had fucked up another interview, i would have gone to one of the other offers: nott, bristol, edinburgh etc. london is a great city, but it's a fairly difficult student life compared to everywhere else, because you have no money and all your mates live an hour away. compare that to nottingham, where everyone is the same campus, and my mate evie still goes skiing once a year in a huge gang of about 30 of them...

Funnily enough I think it does make sense even if you haven't seen partridge

OK, but it's not funny unless you imagine it in his voice

I lived in Nottingham for 19 years and am bullet-hole free
The gun crime problem only arose after Swipey would have finished at Uni, if I guess her age right. A more pertinent (and terrifying) threat to her safety had she been in Nottingham in the late 90s would have been the possibility of a teenage me trying to cop off with her in Rock City.

So my efforts to snog most of the female population of Rock City was my lesbian phase.

there's a fair chance you'd have turned into a total shit, though.

I've always thought of you as a total shit. Must be because of a photo of you were you looked like one.

There's a lot of homo-eroticism here at the moment.
Darth and Chompy were flirting the other day, Bobby and Rory were in the throes of intense foreplay yesterday and now you and Al are at each others' trousers.

I know Spring's in the air, but could you keep it to PMs? I'm getting slightly embarrassed for you all.
