Ebanda's Handyman Services Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 1347741889[/url]' post='6630450']Evidence for this claim would be fantastic, thanks. Hold on while I go trawling P&B to gain the evidence you desire. Im definitely going to do that so stay on this thread and I'll be back in a wee bit, ok? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fudge Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 (edited) I don't think I've ever dished out the 'university of lifer' line on here or 'in real life' but I do sometimes like a bit of uni snobbery, purely for a quick wind up. I'm a terribly unambitious person and quite frankly am just happy to be making enough to live a reasonably happy life. I couldn't really care less what anyone else does with themself.

If you had any genuine life experience of living with outside toilets and rickets and weren't a complete uni snob with a branded hoodie and a Fiat Panda you drive your beret-wearing girlfriend Hilary around in you wouldn't so laid back about the whole situation.

vikingTON Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Hold on while I go trawling P&B to gain the evidence you desire. Yes, why have any facts to back up ridiculous statements: a classic UoL error. Since you're having some sort of tear-stained hissy fit about it: the phrase was actually brought to the site by a UoLer, in order to justify their worldly wisdom when it was clear to everyone else that they were talking a power of shite. It has since been turned by several (mostly Box-Office) posters into a general term for the 'life experience' contingent who pride themselves on boorish anti-intellectualism, using personal anecdotes as facts, and the general spreading of drivel across any semi-serious topic on this forum. As a result, the phrase does not confer status to a university graduate: it instead devalues the credibility of non-graduates. Going to University does not make you part of the intelligentsia, given it is a very popular option in the Western world. UoLers on the other hand distinguish themselves on here with their unsurpassed idiocy. Unlucky. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monster Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 This 'University of Life' patter seems to be having the desired effect on certain folk. Think I'll start using it.

Bert Raccoon Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 (edited) The noisy c**t upstairs who seems to think that stamping around is acceptable then makes more noise when we bang the ceiling. I do know the general idea would be to go up and toe his baws but it turns out said bawbag is a police officer. Where's Raoul Moat when I need him?
