This thread is interesting to me, and I have lots of things to say so this will be a nice and laborious post

I tend to go to Newcastle mainly. Oh, and true story: the most "rah" (posh toff daddy's kids) nightclub, Klute, was voted SECOND worst in Europe by some magazine. ...Then the worst, in Germany, FUCKING BURNED DOWN! Klute seems to promote the fact it's so bad these days... badge of honour.

Yeah! It's almost like the kids at Oxford were so rich and posh that they went the other way, and revelled in tackiness and degrading themselves because they thought it was cool. Very frustrating... Also I know what you mean about expecting intelligent people. I was told that everyone at Oxford has to be mad passionate about what they study, because otherwise they wont let you in, but everyone else on my course (Classics) did it because "it's the easiest thing to get in to". They were the kind of people who couldn't have a discussion about anything.

I would like to know where... Also I am aware of the drinks prices in London because I live here, but I know the cheap places to go too
also, I'd rather pay £3 a pint in a decent pub/club/whatever than a shite one!

Rock On! Oxford sucks, you're much better out of it

Beer is lovely! I never understood why anyone drinks that sugary shit. I like all sorts, but at the moment I am particularly digging leffe blond (very yummy and gets me good and drunk!). But girls who drink beer are not all that rare, I know quite a few.
Also, lux, I know what you are saying about not having too much common ground, I feel there is no point having a friend who you cannot learn from.
But I shall stop waffling now!
