Yes, seems a good sort.

I think J2 and I both read your post saying OP.

Which you may have been using to refer to deliasplums. Ah well. I’m sure J2 is referring to the OP. I am.

You are a dickhead, and a prick.

My post was directly to Dylers, who was replying to Deliasplums mate.

As for the rest of the thread, I fear you may be reading it through a more serious and sober pair of eyes rather than a late beered up Saturday night chat with a few online mates reminiscing about old times.

I'm sure things may well take a different and more sensible direction had the topic been raised on a Tuesday lunchtime for example.

As always, context is everything.

Agreed. Apologies to Deliasplums who is a good sort, no question.

If not, I apologise unreservedly and beg you to consider your nerves untouched.

What? No.

I'm on about me and dyland and vapour and anyone else who spent half the thread rambling about ourselves which may have seemed insensitive to the students issue.

I haven't once mentioned the OP in any context anywhere at all.

This is exhausting. You're doing this on purpose aren't you?

No, i'm genuinely not. I haven't read most of this thread! I'm sure it's cracking content though.

I thought I’d add a bit to this thread.
Our godson’s mum popped in today after taking him back to University. He’s thoroughly miserable and is struggling to keep it together. He’s allowed out into the city but knows no one, all social spaces around his residence are out of bounds, including the gym - which is why he chose those halls.
He’s in a flat with five people, two lads who know each other and three girls with whom he has nothing in common. He has one session in a classroom a week and the rest is online. All freshers week activities were also online and extremely limited.

All he wants to do is play football and get to know a few people but has no means to do so. The University team won’t even start training or trials until November and societies are non- functioning at the moment. It sounds a thoroughly sh1t experience and that’s without any kind of lockdown in place on their campus.
He’s done nothing wrong and is paying a fortune for an education and accommodation that is extremely limited. As his mum put it, his expectations of going away were sky high and they’ve crashed in a fortnight.
Bloody students...
