Jessy and I, like the rest of the EX-students that are still in Manchester, regularly nip into our old Uni, MBS, to use the computers. I especially do this a lot because I’m jobless, the idea being that I can use the Internet to more efficiently find a high-paying job. This is what one of this year’s new students says to us.
I quote almost verbatim
“You guys have finished, right? If I had finished, I wouldn’t be able to come back here. It would be a shame for me to come here”
The sub-text for this quote evidently runs somewhat like this:- “What a bunch of losers you are!”

/ 18 November, 2005… Wait until THAT new student is out. Nevermind the subtext.
Better: Tell them ‘I have no concept of shame.’ Fry his little mind.
Better still: “Well, you DO realize that this is where they … Oh. Wait. You’re first year, right? Nevermind.” and then refuse to answer any more queries. Works especially well if you look even remotely mysterious.
