I am going to make a big post with my feelings about the protest yesterday and the whole cuts situation sometime during the weekend but for now, a list with some interesting and funny chants from it.

Get those animals of the horses!

(referring to the police…cavalry)

One, two, three, four, Clegg is David Cameron’s whore!

(Clegg was the target of 70% of the chants)

What do we want? Tea!

(Some people got really desperate during the two hours we spent on Westminster Bridge and decided to play…traditional British to persuade the police to let us go)

You can now shove your wedding up your ass, you can now shove your wedding up your ass, now shove your wedding, now shove your wedding, now shove your wedding up your ass!

(in the “If you are happy and you now it clap your hands” rhythm, you can tell Prince Williams wasn’t the most loved person last night)

There were obviously more funny moments, feel free to reblog and add them!

@arianna writes about what I’ve been meaning to write since my 3rd year* at University: It sucks!*(I am a 3rd year undergrad but have been at University for 4 years as I also took a Foundation course - which sucked even more)

Because this wasn’t enough…

So I wanted to download some lecture handouts for one of my courses at university. I visit the course’s website and I scroll down to the handouts. Where I read the following:

All lecture handouts can only be accessed from campus.

There is no access from non-RHUL ip addresses.

Which means that in order to get the handouts from home, I have to either set up a VPN or ssh into the department’s network. Or use the NX Client to do so.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is another sign that the majority of universities are going to die sooner or later. Why the fuck do you limit accessibility to your resources?

(Especially when your top competitors strive to make theirs as accessible as possible)

We are occupying the corridor outside the Royal Holloway, University of London picture gallery. Most students are against cuts.-

Best moment today: This german (but fluent at english) girl coming to me and saying:

Hey, can you find me a ticket for the dinning hall somehow?

I am sooo hungry!

How cute she was cannot be described. I wanna date her!

So, basically, with the new academic year approaching people need to sort their housing. Some students live in houses that have rooms available for rent so they decided to use the university’s mailing list to advertise them. This resulted in a flood of ads in the list and certain people got annoyed. Following, selected quotes from the list.

I have a 15 bedroom mansion, its really smart… At the moment I have no friends so require 14 further noobs to enjoy my love palace! At only a thousand of your british pounds its a naughty deal! The only thing is I need all the money up front…

I pout a lot, am pretty useless and wear mini skirts while ignoring my long term partner.

Will people stop sending your stupid accommodation emails to everyone in the damn university?

Your little fingers must be tired from pressing ‘Delete’, ’Delete’, ‘Delete’. Awww, bless.

But to be quite frank, I don’t know how these people even got into this university. I mean take this guy, who just told everyone in the uni that his degree results ‘came out, they are fine’?? And that stupid girl the other day who sent like a 10meg attachment of high-res photos of her house to everyone??

All your houses are belong to us…
