/me grabs the beer tap, pours a large pitcher of Xenobrew, and sets it down on the bar.
Let us drink and be merry, for those that dwell on the 7th may soon find themselves a lift!

Of course we did. You look like you need a drink.

And I love Oxford. It's a wonderful place, a wonderful uni, wonderful people... just no Louise I couldn't bring myself to turn it down though. Just need the grades (again )

Scottish lager.
I just hope that either you have the right accent, or the right friends, or the right sporting ability for Oxford Still, 4 A's is pretty demanding.
Beautiful place though, and certainly pretty special. Not quite as good as Cambridge of course

Ahh yes, I was just wondering where the statement came from? In RL, or did I serve the wrong tap?

Actually no. I've stayed their twice, I know many undergrads there, it is not about accent, or friends, or sports. Sure, sports help socialise, but almost all colleges the onus is on fun, not on ability. Only at Blues level does it become overtly competative. As for accent and friends, I come from a state school, we usually send one or two people a year to Oxford (as opposed to somewhere like Sevenoaks, that sends about 30-50). It is the friendliest place I know. On the open day we all went out, got to know each other. We're all in the same boat. Half the people there know no-one else who's there, so it's easy to make friends. It's really not the world of Brideshead Revisited or the Oxford of old. It's just a place where 6000 of the countries best students go each year, and are thrown in at the deep end.
Actually, for economics, Oxford is way way ahead. Overall Cambridge edges it, and it has far stronger sciences, but Oxford has the stronger arts and some of the social sciences. It's mostly personal taste. I know this well, my brother's a 4th year at Cambridge. As he said, and I agree, it matters more which college you choose than whether you go to Oxford or Cambridge, by and large. For my subject, Oxford has better research, better teaching and a far better thought out course (more options, more progressive, better support for it). For my brothers course (Maths) Cambridge is the place to be.
In the ratings, Cambridge has slightly higher rates of 1sts and 2:1s, slightly higher average A level grades (29.7 as opposed to 29.6 points (10 is an A, 8 a B, 6 a C, taking only the top 3)) slightly higher computing spending and much lower libraries spending.
Oxford also has the Fullbright scholarship, which is a scholarship to a US university for a year. And Yale just happens to have a course I'd love to take (International and Developmental Economics) I won't get it, but it's worth a try

It's chocolaty and sweet, but it's got a little edge to it. It'll wake you up in a gentle way and make you smile A personal favourite of mine, when I feel in need of a boost (and Louise's favourite )

In order to bring us to the next floor you'd need to order your seven drinks one by one dear Skandy the purple shoe.

And another. And while I am on the subject (despite the fact that I have yet to bring a subject up) you spelt my name wrong. It is Skanky, my dear. And I am wearing two shoes. Yes, purple they are, but there are two of them.
And I also know that you should never start a sentence with the word "and". I haven't broken that rule too much.

I'm afraid you'll have to drink them in the next floor. This rec commons is done with.
Now... time for an updated list of "Greatest Alcoholics"?

*enters tavern asking question about MWIA
*spots MWIA
That`s him!
*activates Gorilla transponder
*MWIA spots obstructor and tries to escape
*three CyberGorillas enter the tavern
*Gorillas grab MWIA
*Gorillas start to throw MWIA around tavern, narrowly missing several present guests, like Skanky and HongHu
Stop it! We do not want to kill him! Just hold him while I delete the rogue Pirate program!
*MWIA equips impact bagpipes and starts to play it
*everyone in the tavern duck and scream in agony
*Drogue helps to subdue MWIA along with three CyberGorillas
*obstructor erases the rogue Pirate program along with MWIA`s memory on the last week
Leave him there. If he wakes up, Drogue please tell him that he spent last week in tavern.
*obstructor exits tavern along with three CyberGorillas
*one of the Gorillas returns to tavern and spits out Micha
*obstructor`s voice can be heard from outside:
I told you not to eat Hiverians! You do not digest them well! We are now going back to 3D Offices!

/me awakes in a closed bar, where everything looks abandoned and ravaged.
Hello? Please? Anyone?
/me notices a strange liquid covering his upper body.
What the...? It smells like... Gorilla spittle!
/me shivers. He then slowly walks out the tavern, trying to remember what happened...
