Just heard a lad on the local radio station saying that he got one C

Am I the only one that thinks "Poor bugger, you would be going to Uni if
it was not for that C grade"?

Am I the only one wondering why universities are wasting precious
resources in running Media Studies courses?


Because it's a cash cow with relatively little resources required, unlike
say, practical physics with its clever lecturers and labs, or computer
science with its clever people and labs.

Mathematics probably comes close in terms of lack of resources required to
offer a proper course, but you still need clever lecturers ducks

You should have been in the boozer just now with me and a Cambridge
trained GP and a physics prof......
