I’ve lived here so long, I just thought “huh – the town sure is rowdy today….”
What was that noise? Why Suicide Sunday, of course.
Though it truly is as shocking as it sounds, if you aren’t used to such things.
To locals this is just part of the academic year; when they aren’t naked and vomiting in parks, the students are swanning around in ballgowns and tuxedos. And of course, there is the accent; even when slurring, they are all, to my humble ear, posh wankers.
Quite the spectacle – and remember, I attended a college that routinely had people OD’ing in the laundry room. Cambridge is simply off the scale for debauchery.
My kids have a tutor who keeps insisting they are Oxbridge candidates – but I am appalled at the suggestion.
I know, I know, not a nice thing to say…. but hey, I never claimed to be nice.
