University College Durham presents ...The June Ball

[parchmentfox]

The curly-haired boy looks like Pippin from LOTR, in a sweet way :P

People need to get over it regarding state vs private education. I went to a private prep and later moved to a state school and had perfectly lovely friends at both. Reverse snobbery is just as bad as standard snobbery. Nice people don't give a damn about money, however rich or poor they might be.

they are working together towards the completion of their project! magnificent team with a good vision!

[Yazminerulz]

the June ball, is it just for people that are graduating that year for the whole college

[TheDiscopony]

@Yazminerulz nope, everyone

[TheDiscopony]

Im starting in October and I've been nothing but state schooled!

[AcheKah]

I have to admit that the first guy talking sounds like a complete toff.

I mean i like the idea of a good education but he sounds as though he has just bought his education and qualifications,

[baresolid]

I thought the dress code was supposed to be White Tie. I have seen a lot of Black Tie and a few (gasp) neck-ties and lounge suits but there don't appear to be any tailcoats in sight.

Who the fuck are Durham Uni? Imperial College represent

[simonthefly]

Quite a response. I think it's probably more to do with financial standing and social class than attitude, to be honest. The most important thing I learned at uni was that standardised education breeds automatons, shortly before I sacked it off and started getting paid loads as a freelance journalist - a job that values talent over pomposity.

My mother went to Durham Uni actually, she said it was alright but badly organised. ps. I'm not prejudiced, just experienced and opinionated.

sounds like snobbery and ill-informity to me...

[darkangelraaa]

I don't give a f**k about some socially privileged toffs rubbing shoulders inside some equally antiquated display of percieved superiority - who's busting out the funk? Does anyone have any idea of the band playing the music?

[dougskullery]

I'm at Castle, I'm attending the June Ball, and I'm a session funk guitarist.

You prejudiced idiot.

[AlexTerryUK]

No you're wrong. Purely merit I'm afraid. Now enjoy painting your face green.

[SamCocknose]

Not true, I got in, I'm not rich.

What day is it this year?
