Yeah it was miles from Manor/Griffin and after week 2 of each term no one had the cash for the bus.

We were FIT (in every sense of the word)

OhGodItsCod · 29/04/2010 20:55

it was a bit of a loser place to be Griffin wanst it

Substandard · 29/04/2010 20:56

I was there too - 93 to 96. Wydd for me

Horton · 29/04/2010 20:57

Top Girls I remember. I wasn't in it. But that makes me think maybe I've got my dates wrong and your mate was in the year above me. When did I go there anyway? Surely it must have been 89. Have I lost a year somewhere?

OhGodItsCod · 29/04/2010 20:57

ah yes i finished PGCE in 93
did you ovt or not

OhGodItsCod · 29/04/2010 20:57

castille · 29/04/2010 20:58

Griffin was full of people with eating disorders IME. Strange atmosphere.

Manor was ACE.

blametheparents · 29/04/2010 20:58

OhGOD - That's harsh!
And anyway after Year 1 I lived right in the heart of the happening Selly Oak. So there!

Horton · 29/04/2010 20:58

I'm really living up to the dizzy drama student stereotype here, I realise. How embarrassing.

OhGodItsCod · 29/04/2010 20:59

MrsMiamla · 29/04/2010 20:59

another Griffin Close girl here
they condemned the whole site shortly after I left. it was a coincidence..honest! I believe they rebuilt a load of swanky flats there but don't think they were owned by the uni anymore

oh the fun we had in the park behind Griffin

OhGodItsCod · 29/04/2010 21:00

lots os magic mushrooms grew there iirc

castille · 29/04/2010 21:00

Top Girls, that rings a bell. What year was it?

EldonAve · 29/04/2010 21:00

Substandard - I was in Wydd - what did you study?

Horton · 29/04/2010 21:00

WHat is OVT? I keep thinking it sounds like you're asking each other if you've ovulated in a weirdy abbreviation way.

nigglewiggle · 29/04/2010 21:00

OVT . Does anyone remember the rugby team who wore boiler suits and hung vegetables around their necks?

OhGodItsCod · 29/04/2010 21:01

OhGodItsCod · 29/04/2010 21:01

Horton · 29/04/2010 21:02

OhGodItsCod · 29/04/2010 21:02

blametheparents · 29/04/2010 21:02

OVT - Old Varsity Tavern
Pub in Selly Oak, on the Bristol Road

nigglewiggle · 29/04/2010 21:03

Old Varsity Tavern Horton - did you definitely go to BIRMINGHAM University .

Cod - does he hang veggies round his neck?

Horton · 29/04/2010 21:03

She was in my year, after all. She was very nice, as I remember her, but very very dizzy.

OhGodItsCod · 29/04/2010 21:03
