“Alright, this is what all those cold mornings on the river have been about. Four days, four races, one goal. By the end of the week, that wall behind me is going to have my name on it, my crewmates’ names on it, our cox’s name on it, a great big chalk crest, and the names of at least four colleges who got bumped. Let’s do this”.

“Look, it’s bad enough we’re weeks behind and I’m guaranteed to get spoilered, without you also Being In My Spot”.

"Hello yes I would like to come in for food"

"Yeah, in college we have a guy for that. Would you mind?"

“Wait, read that back to me, Tumblr have banned what?”

“It says ‘real-life human genitals or female-presenting nipples’”

“Does the ‘human’ refer to both parts of that sentence? The punctuation isn’t clear”

“I don’t know, Bianca, what am I, the Tumblr police?”

“Oh well, if anyone asks, tell them I’m a boy”.

"No, you're not listening. I didn't say I disagreed with the JCR wanting to ban plastic straws in the bar. What I said was, I'm not convinced this is a practical alternative".

"O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?"

"Alright Dave, everyone knows you came top of the room ballot, everyone knows you got the balcony. There's no need to be a dick about it".

Woman passing with daughter: "What a lovely kitten. Is she part Burmese or Siamese?" Me: "I have no idea I just met her. She looks a bit Abyssinian to me" *Door opens* Homeowner: "She is Abyssinian and she is supposed to be indoors" Me: "Yes I will take my prize as cash please"

"Hey you're always making such a big deal of that three legged cat. Look at me, I've got five legs". "You do not, that's just a trick of the, erm, OK how are you doing that and how is it comfortable? I don't think cats are supposed to have working elbows". "Told you. Fancy legs. Five of them. My great grandmother was an octupus". "Really?" "Well, she ate an octopus".

“It’s not the despair, Laura. I can stand the despair. It’s the hope!”

“Yes thanks for that, I am indeed now fully appraised of your views on key geopolitical issues and the philosophical underpinning of intersectional social justice, but what I said was, and noting that this is a local election, “What are you going to do about the bins?”. They’re all lumpy and the temperature control is shocking”.

When you’re legitimately not sure if they are regular cats or the next big thing on Oxford’s thriving Lo-Fi Indie scene.

We are at home to suggested band names. The worse the pun, the better.

“Living a full life despite people’s preconceptions about your disability? Yeah, I can raise a paw to that. Now, theoretical cosmology, I have to admit I never quite got my head around. Still it could be worse, I did a term of quantum mechanics and this weird Austrian guy kept trying to put me in a box. Did not end well for him, did not end well at all”.

“Troy, for the last time, being born in Abingdon does not mean that you “Come From A Land Down Under”, now will you please stop singing that infernal song”.
