You had wimmin on the course

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

Mind you, it might have changed in the erm couple of years since I graduated.

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.

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.

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

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.

No surprise really if I am to judge by spelling I found on one of their student forums.

57th

With that ranking it is fortunate that I have never once in real life used anything that I learned on that useless arts degree.
