Clockwork Orange
Someone may have written this already, but at Brunel University in Uxbridge, A Clockwork Orange was filmed in our lecture centre (before it was done up). It was the scene where he has his eyes held open and has to watch films. Apparently some more scenes were filmed around campus but I can't remember which ones.

school traditions
I do love a good tradition, and when I came to England I went to a private boarding school for the 6th form (age 16-18 to all the yanks). Sadly the usual abusive traditions were stamped out with PC-ness (they built character!!) like 'the gauntlet' where younger children had to run through a course made up of thumbtacks, pillow cases with books in and beatings from hockey sticks. However the most common tradition was the naked challenge (running around the school naked). If you heard the familiar sound of bare feet slapping outside your window you knew you'd see the drunken boys from our year running in all their glory (although the glory was significantly shortened due to the cold weather). My friend also got me obsessing over stepping on 2 drains for good luck and avoiding 3 drains as they were bad luck...until one day I pushed my sister into oncoming traffic trying to get her to avoid 3 drains...

stupid geeks
I was in Forbidden Planet with my boyfriend and his best mate the other day...yes I know its sad and yes I was the only woman who didn't look like I'd spent the last 2 weeks letting my hair get greasy and watching Star Trek in there. Anyway I could overhear some guy ranting to his lady-friend: "oh that's a detail error right there" pointing to a molestely underwhelming 'sculpture' of some animal/human thing (I have no idea what it was, maybe some geeks might know) as apparently the one in the store had 4 fingers and a thumb when it was only meant to have 3 fingers or something, and he then went on to explain WHY the fingers should be that way for about 10 minutes...needless to say we left rather quickly...
