sigesige00 Posted September 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 So, sigesige00, how was your first year at Caledonian? How was your accommodation - did ye get fixed up ok? Are you coming back to stomp the streets of dear auld Glesga toon for a second term? Did ye manage tae hide the sausage at any time during your first landing on Scottish soil? Interim memoirs to be posted at your earliest convenience, comrade. I repeat -- please understand that English is not my first language. I do not understand non-official spellings or words. I did well at Caledonian -- my research in capitalist decadence has progressed. However I still have much to do, such as reading philosophical works like The Spirit of Utopia, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought you said, once upon a time, that you were studying for a Masters in English? My mistake? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sigesige00 Posted October 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 (edited) By the way, there is "City of Glasgow College" quite close to the City Centre. But the name should be "City College of Glasgow". And "Glasgow Caledonian University" should be "Caledonian University of Glasgow", like Queen's University of Belfast. Or the "University of Caledonia" would be a good naming. Edited October 1, 2012 by sigesige00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackpool Jags Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 I always believed strongly that my old school should really have been called "School on the Side of the North Kelvin", but there you go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
