    You can eat a juicy dick. Xaverian has the curry mile and whitworth park. Loreto has Asda, no park and is in Moss Side.

    Mission accomplished. Conversation restored. The fact it's next to the curry mile has no bearing on the quality of it's educational standards and from most of what I've seen and asked, Loreto appears to be superior. Although I can't think of anything to respond with about Moss Side, or the Asda.
    EDIT: Then again, my opinion isn't as valid, I've only ever been to either for interviews and have only left Burnage.

    I don't know that 'support' is the right word, but certainly I think they are our best option right now, and are unecessarily hated by many people (sometimes for historical reasons) and it is far too soon to let Labour back into power.

    I fully understand how much everyone will now hate me and want my family to be eaten, but ah well, that's what you get for failing to hate your government enough.

    At the end of the day, when you get to college, educational standards matter nought. Those that work do well, those that don't get Cs and Ds. And I am of the latter in this case. My girlfriend worked harder than I have ever known anyone to do so and she got 4 As. Loreto is also a grades factory, it really doesn't give a fuck about the students so long as it gets it's grades. The whole ethos and feel of that place put me off the first time I went there in like year 9. If I remember correctly, there was even some crack head shouting abuse at us whilst we got on the coach back to school. Xaverian is amazing, until the dawn of the realisation that work is in fact necessary at which point almost every single free you have is spent in the library.

    Sort of relevant; I just looked at the BBC News homepage and below the selection of stories about the jubilee, many of which are repeating the same thing or not saying much at all (ie- people show up despite the rain), there's an article/secondary headline saying a plane has crashed in Nigeria killing 'all 150 or so' people on board. Or so? That surely says something about this jubilee. Or maybe the BBC uses generalisations like that all the time and i've never noticed.

    Does it really always rain in Albion or is that just a joke.

    It definitely rains in Manchester, extremely frequently, in great amounts.

    I wouldn't say it always rains, but it is very unpredictable. You often get blazing sunshine one week and pouring rain the next, as we are currently experiencing.

    But it doesn't matter, as people complain as much when it's hot than when it's raining.

    Especially when it's such a deep and meaningful question.

    Now it's our turn.
    Are the streets really paved with gold in Hollywood?

    Is it true you have deserts occupied only by fundamentalist christians?

    Sadly yes, though it disproves your lie. It shows a street of gold, with a Hollywood sign. I added arrows on MS paint to point this out to the untrained eye. Though I assure you it is conclusive evidence.
