A university leader has caused controversy by saying curvy female students are a "perk of the job".

Male professors are male, shocking, I know.

It means they're extremely well known in England, and well known elsewhere.

Don't understand why the article says "unknown to mainstream audiences". Makes me wonder what mainstream means then in the UK.

What type of stuff would you compare them to?  I like odd humour.


Well it's in French and Italian for starters.

They play around with different genres and mess about a lot.  It's difficult to really say what they sound like.

Ah college....good times.
Especially the crippling poverty.
Last semester, for like 2 months I was living on literally $17 continuously.


Let's not forgot its health impacts!
When I started college I weighed 160 lbs, was fast and pretty athletic.
I am now a senior, weigh 180 lbs (up to 185 sometimes Cry) cant run NEARLY as well as I used to, can't do a pushup for my life. It's sad

Though I have started jogging again, and plan to try working out for real.

My financial should come back on the 2nd, it goes straight on to a debit card issued from my college. After I make sure the money is on it I can use it pretty much anywhere.

Cheap-hotel like, but it's aight.
My roommate seems cool, although he is hardly in.
I applied for on-campus jobs and realized I can bullsh*t far better than I thought I could.
Oh and my financial aid check is on hold, which sucks because I have about $20 left in my bank account.

I was down the pub earlier for the quiz and Donna, the barmaid (who can be a wee bit irritating but in a  nice way) was getting annoyed at me keep buying pints of Coke so she was badgering me about it and finally convinced me to have a J2O and Lemonade (and she didn't charge me for the Lemonade).

Grrr!

Her intentions were good, mind you but... grrr! LOL


I had to look up J2O.  Don't have it over here.


I presume it's a bad pun on H2O.  It's made by Britvic, I believe, who are an English company.

Anyhow, I had Orange and Passion Fruit flavour.  Mmmmm.

I need their other albums with Charles Hayward on.  I think I'm going to enjoy This Heat more too now.

Of course, it's Bill Laswell on bass.
