Oh, and punting. Grabbing hold of that long pole, thrusting it into the Cam, pushing down hard on it, and then twisting it to bring it up and out, before starting the thrusting all over again. 
You think you’ve got it bad. I am a mathmo.
No comment.
No comment.
Well, yes. I do know a disproportionately large number of mathmos however. I think it comes from going out with one.
Oh dear. Name grabbing, land stealing young upstarts you!
One guess as to my college then.
Look! It’s not me, she’s the dirty one!
I don’t know. Some people find innuendo in anything, even “I got wet when he drove into that bush” or “Can’t you keep it straight?”
Hey!!! I was just describing how one punts down the Cam! You’re the one reading dirty things into it. 
Mistake number one, as I’m sure my girlfriend would attest. Then again, she’s a lawyer
Trinity hall’s a college? I thought that’s where we ate dinner.
Anyway, how could you tell? It may be written on my forehead, but you can’t see me.
Here I am in the great Thar desert.
Here’s me smoking a cigar and playing my guitar.
And here I am again with Cookie Monster.
Aah, well. Lawyers
Oh, those are fighting words. Just remember, we still own the land that is Great Court. And we’re older than you. And the best things come in small packages.
Call it a lucky guess.
Oh dear. Then this conversation must have been very bewildering for you…
I’m reminded of one of my friends who was just too sweet. She couldn’t see what the rest of the dinner table thought was so funny about ‘hairy ball theorem.’
Dare I ask the context?
Oh, and what’s with the kidney shaped side dishes at Trinity Formal Hall?
Shade and Angua: Get a room, will ya? I want to see more pictures!

Hey, them’s fighting words! Lawyers are no more soulless than anyone else and oh who am I kidding. I love her the way she is.
Withdrawn. Anyway we know never to compete on age.
Except against America. It’s amusing to hear a porter explaining to an American tourist “I don’t know if [American University] is better, richer, famouser or larger than Cambridge or Oxford. But it’s not older. Guess were John Harvard studied. Guess how old Oxford was when Columbus sailed…”
Hmph. For my piece of mind I’ll just pretend you were playing the odds.
Anyway, weren’t you getting back to work about an hour ago?
The context? Just an adolescent sense of humour and a conversation about mathematical innuendo is all.
The answer to these questions normally seems to be ‘tradition’ 
We normally don’t have any side dishes at all for presumably that reason. Are you asking why side dishes are kidney shaped? Isn’t it so they fit to the plate?
godzillatempleYou want us to get a room so you can have pictures? I’m disturbed. Besides, we’re merely discussing punting. Ask Angua.
Well well, Angua, I’m shocked, shocked I tell you, at you being told off for flirting…
Aaww, that’s so sweet, and is exactly how I feel about my mathmo
Well, quite.
Jjim Wha? I’m lovely really…
My favourite line and the porter’s response from American tourists:
AT: Walking into Trinity Hall, “Oooh, Trinity College is a lot smaller than I imagined”
TH porter “Trinity’s next door, this is Trinity Hall, the one Henry VIII was jealous of.”
ducks and runs
I might have been. I might have recognised the face… Actually, yes, I was just playing the odds.
Might have been. But I set my program off to do some more fits.
Aargh!!! Coding!! Lines in the wrong place!
There’s a Euro Dope Board? No-one tells me anything
Oh, and I did a quick search - it seems Angua doesn’t post entirely in flirt threads…
I hardly ever post in flirt threads, just this one, and the one I linked to, and the BrumDope planning and aftermath threads… I can post intelligent conversation when I want to even.
He might think that’s part of the problem
Good one. My favorite ‘overheard cambridge conversation’ story is just a snippet: “…and, ninethly, …”
I’d be flattered if anyone remembered my face, or conversation style, or similar username for a year. I was worried you could tell I was from trinity just by listening to me.
‘Fit’ as in ‘random flailing lock-up’ or ‘best data match’ or ‘good looking’?
Or the first two together?
Nah, he’s just used to any thread being taken over into a flirt fest between myself, and for some reason, garius.
Bwahaha!
So you’re aware of the stereotypes then? That’s a blessing at least
The first two together. And not the script’s beign an arse, and coming up with really unhelpful error messages.
Oh, and the EuroDope message board - see the sig.
