I Bloody Hate Freshers' Week

[John the Monkey]

Anyone who works in an office on Oxford Road, Manchester, will be subjected to (the same) 3-5 minutes of house music, every half an hour or so, thanks to the party buses plying their trade up and down.

The streets will be filled with discarded flyers and other detritus the students can't be bothered to find a bin for.

And there will be 5 times the traffic on the way home.

It's great when your a student though!

I work in St Andrews just the same but we also have hundreds of tourists clogging up the streets well

Working in an office on Oxford Road and not liking students must be tough indeed!

I don't mind them - it's their litter, and the promotional japes aimed at them that irk me.

My, you are very restrained JTM... 'irk' is not the word I was using yesterday when the racket started!!!

I may be less so by Friday.

...and there goes another one.

Whigfield's Saturday Night, anyone?

FFS.

If you time it right, you can use the "music" to drown out the sound of the gunshot.

Play your card right and you should be able to bag at least a brace of the buggers before they realise where the shots are coming from.

You're complaining about loud music and a load of 18 year old fitties?

John - you're officially old!!

I freely admit that.

The students just look like one big photo stream from the look at this f* hipster website to me.

The music is currently being drowned out by Black Sabbath. Then the Pixies.

 

[fossyant]

I'm just far enough away from the main campus

 

[GrahamG]

I missed most of the shenanigans due to holiday. Gutted. I'm 30 so still young enough to be perving

[...kickstarts happy days working in CJFP's office on Alexandra Place.]

Can't fault students for building Manchester University in Manchester... but what a coincidence!

I feel sorry for you that you are on oxford road... at any time of the year.

A fair point, well made.
