Aww, feminista.
A male-oriented society accused of celebrating 'Top Gear culture' has provoked a gender row at Manchester University.

Feminist students claim the Masculinity Exploration Networking and Support (MENS) group – promotes 'beard-growing contests', 'beer marathons' and macho culture.
Bless the little dears.

Good for them.
Although I suspect it's an undercover group for guys still in the closet.

Are you sure you wouldn't like to Explore the Support of my Networked Masculinity?

You're probably right.
It's like the Iron John/mens' movement thing in the 90s. Sitting in sweat lodges and having empowerment groups. Shirters, the lot of them.

Fabulous term there, 'shirters'.
Expect to see it liberally used around here by me from now on. Thank you.

Do students actually care about issues anymore?
the shit-spouting arseholes I see around town certainly don't.
( Colonel Dracula Two manky hookers and a racist dwarf, Thu 28 Jan 2010, 11:39, Reply)

the ones in Exeter seem to care about how big their hair is
and how popped their collars are.

They don't seem to mind how dented their Ford Kas get though

I was going to mention wanky hair and popped collars
but I was worried that I would come across as some embittered weirdo, especially from students with wanky hair and popped collars.

I am an embittered weirdo
that doesn't detract from Exeter uni being full of oxbridge rejects with cars bought by mummy and daddy, who meticulously dress like they've just fallen out of bed after a sleep of Rip Van Winkle magnitude.

What's a popped collar?

(Bear Pookie the Jobraith fan cranked up a granny on, Thu 28 Jan 2010, 11:44, Reply)

The pinnacle of fucking stupid ideas
to have cropped up in undergraduates' desire to look like they're unable to dress themselves.

"Ooh, how can I look like more of a salivating retard today? I know, it'll look really deep if I turn my collar up. This is a great way for me to express the personality I don't have!"

There's something about his expression
which looks as though he's just got over the shock of someone pushing a shotgun barrel up his arse, and is starting to enjoy the sensation.

When I was at uni,
the SU building was called the Brucie Forsyth building. Sums it up really.

I temped in the branch of Natwest on the uni campus for a while
and when asking the obligatory "do you want a credit card?" I heard back "no thanks, I've got daddy's gold card" or words to that effect at least 3 times.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Thu 28 Jan 2010, 11:53, Reply)

I didn't have a credit card,
till my mid 30s. No wonder they moan about debt.

They should be doing drugs, drinking

What a twat. I thought Philile Joe came back to find HIS SU had been renamed. I must remember to read things properly.
