(Actually - I think they're building new bits of University every bloody day - have you seen the Victoria Baths site recently?)

Question 19256: When faced with criticism of your dear old home town/city do you -

a) join in with general piss-taking, denying any connection with said town/city whilst weeping softly inside

b) take up arms and launch a broadside against anyone daring to state that the place of your abode is anything less than a modern-day Shangri-La

c) shrug with indifference. After all, the roads are a bit shite and the other day you saw a tramp turn his nose up at a shop doorway as it was a bit untidy and down-market for his liking.

Question 1042

MN is a super-selective forum and this entrance exam seeks to identify those who can most benefit from the facilities which MN provides. It will be marked stringently.

Have you been tutored for this exam?

a) Yes, since the age of 12
b) No, but I have practised on some old papers
c) No, someone as clearly destined as I am for MN can be sure of acing the entrance exam
d) No, as anyone who has to be tutored to get through the MN entrance exam will struggle to keep up once they've been admitted

Marks will be deducted for plagiarism or blatant dishonesty
