Administrators please remove that last post. This is MY SNEER thread and anyway Scottish universities don't count.

They all send me alumni magazines with begging letters in too.

Yeh. Mine went one further recently and informed me that a current student would be ringing me for advice and funding. I wouldn't mind so much if not for the fact it mainly specialises in engineering and the very few women we had all looked like Boris Karloff. Mind you, it might have changed in the erm couple of years since I graduated.

They all send me alumni magazines with begging letters in too. Recently I had to get a report of academic standing from one place for another one and girly nearly threw the reply away thinking it was just another alumni magazine and begging letter (which I send them a bit each time and she thinks it's a bit of a cheek hence why she was going to throw it away).

It took me years to get off my uni's begging letter list.

Undoubtedly Xog. For starters, I doubt many of them turn up in a stagecoach nowadays, with duelling pistols, a collection of monogrammed ruffs, and a Gladstone bag for their toiletries.

Was that an "eek!" at the fact there were women on the course or an "eek!" at their aesthetic coefficient?
