to think that this is unacceptable

[user546425732]

""Hockey extraordinaire – soon to be first team captain. 'Prince of Hiatt Baker'. Really tall and this stands out. Took a girl home on the 16 during freshers and once 'sorted' cycled back to Bunker. Just a very well-known top bloke.""

Even in a student 'newspaper' surely this isn't acceptable any more?
I'd be mortified if it were my son.

I have no idea what that means

Don't understand most of it! (Only the sorted bit)

read the link and it's obvious.

Yes tis a bit grim

OP I try not to click on links that I don't understand, from web sites I don't recognise, posted by members with "userxyz" names and less than a week's posting history. Sorry about that

Ah, sorry. It's to The Tab - the student online newspaper.

Hmm. It's immature. But I remember my school paper naming and shaming my DB for taking a girl home at that age. He's gay, nothing happend, but hey, good gossip.

I've looked at the link. I don't understand. Is it the 16 bus? What is sorted cycled?

A 16 year old woman.

Ewww, 'sorted'. They may be making a pun on safely home though. I hope??

Oh stealth...! You should write for them!

How does on the 16 tell you that?
I believe you but don't get it.
It's a bit crap but presumably he was 18. Agree the gloating in it is shit

Ohhhh
It needs a comma after sorted

And now I get it. People say grammar doesn't really matter.

I don't understand how "on the 16," means that the girl was 16 years old.

I think it's the 16 bus as that goes past the University of Bristol halls...

Not that it excuses anything, but it sounds like people could nominate others, so the paper may not have written it, and I doubt he knew what it was going to say - or if it’s even true? I do think the paper should have edited it though.

Not sure I articulated that very well, but hopefully you get the gist!

On the 16 is 'on the number 16 bus'. Presumably the girl was also a student and thus over the age of consent.

It's a bit crass but it's just uni banter, I can't get worked up about it.

I think you should be offended and log it with the police, OP.

OP - are you bothered at the use of 'sorted'?

Bristol Uni gossip rage?

I remember with pride my own moment of fame featuring in the equivalent for my generation some 30+ years ago.

'Twas ever thus.

rag not rage!

I think it's the 16 bus

That’s what I thought. Why would you think it meant a 16 year old?

Students bragging to other students; still hormonal and free from the constraints of home. Not pretty but adolescent 'bigger willy than yours' contests never have been and never will be. If they were a few years older I might be concerned.
