Nothing worse than vicarious snobbery."Brookes University".................. Oxford Poly...he wasn`t good enough for a proper College.

I’d laugh, but you desport a bigger hardon for Boris and his Oxbridge buddies ..They had some great gigs at Ox Poly though...... I even got to snog Clare G in the SU Bar!

I doubt she remembers.. lol
But all respect to those who have studied at the Poly/Brookes they wouldn’t have got into Oxbridge.There really isn't a difference now other than snobbery value and in some cases higher quality or research opportunities (top end Russell Group/Oxbridge). Brookes and other "new" Universities do the same type of courses etc.
Oxford is #1 and Brookes #48, still above Coventry, Keele, and Hull, all with a pretty decent reputation. Think of it as top end League 2!But all respect to those who have studied at the Poly/Brookes they wouldn’t have got into Oxbridge.
My niece went to Chesterfield university to study her nursing which she passed with too marks but Chesterfield university?
NB I don't think 'snogging' is the word for what you did ...They had some great gigs at Ox Poly though...... I even got to snog Clare G in the SU Bar!

Yes maybe but Coventry and Hull were the same as Brookes a poly or a CFE think Keane was a university whereas Coventry not really classed as Warwick University but top end L2 more like top end of the National League?Oxford is #1 and Brookes #48, still above Coventry, Keele, and Hull, all with a pretty decent reputation.

I got a snog with Kiki Dee backstage after a "China" gig, whose members had or did play with Elton John. I doubt she remembers either. Sigh.They had some great gigs at Ox Poly though...... I even got to snog Clare G in the SU Bar!

I once hugged a very sweaty Ozzy Osbourne during his gig at Nottingham Rock City before propelling myself back into the swirling masses head-first. This was before his rise to new celebrity status via MTV's 'The Osbournes'.That is well impressive!

A lot Of this was the widening participation of middle England, working class and ethnic minorities which is a good idea, but the elite didn’t want it because they believed this was for the socially privileged and the economicallyHull isn't, as it started in 1927 as a college of University of London but got its own royal charter in 1954 which gave it University status.
He's not very attractive up close even 25 years ago before (most of) the drugs had taken their toll. And he was very, very sweaty.I'm disappointed that you did not snog him. Poor show.
