A big night out with Britain's biggest #LADS

[JTMMusicuk]

Newcastles full of people who act like that tbh, must be to do with our drinking culture...

the guy reporting it seems to be making a thing out of the fact he's different and clever etc etc which is no better than the lads imo

[test_recordings]

Edinburgh Uni is one of the top 5 in the country.

Theory disproven.

As is St. Andrews.

Ahh, I was basing it solely on research output. St. Andrews isn`t in on that but it is in the Guardian`s list...

YOU're ALL FUCKING WUSSES!

That nite dey went 2 is the fookin tits, I'm not even a student and thats where I party (normally bare slags innit)! I thought it was all pretty tame - no fights, no showing birds the eiffel tower - both major parts of the traditional toon sesh.

I'm sure you all have a much better time prancing around to nexts weeks swamp 81 release while keeping each others hats in acute angles.

[JTMMusicuk]

yes mikey g

This lot seem tame compared to my Uni's Football lads.

They wouldn't even last 20 mins against the Rugby lads.

thats another thing i don't like about 'lads', they think what they're doing is really crazy but really all they're doing is getting drunk, going to a shit club that closes at 3 and then going home.

I don't really trust this article...Vice is known to be a bit hipster-esque, and as clever as the reporter seemed among these "lads", he also seemed to be a bit of a "I'm from London, I'm geeky" type of guy, as seen by his mentioning of his hometown a few times and his dress sense.

The reality is, sadly these types of students do exist - but he did go to Newcastle, didn't he? I mean, it's hardly a 'proper' university right? And even then it seems he found some of the biggest nobs going. The reality is most students aren't like this: some are, and it's probably worse in the shitter uni's, but isn't that granted? The article shows that 15 years ago crap uni's didn't really exist on the scale of today, which is obvious. When they grew, the idiots grew...simple.

It's basically a new generation of people who go to awful universities, get awful degrees then fairly poor jobs. Maybe non-students aren't as silly with their slang, but go to many clubs on a weekend and you'll see people dressed like that.

Newcastle and Northumbria are both fairly well respected universities so I don't know where you get that "proper university" bullshit from.

His comments actually really offended me and I didn't even go to either uni but I know they are both very good in their specialized fields. To be fair it just came across like some #lad who was #chattingshit and is quite clearly trying to sound well informed but failing. He probably goes to Oxford Brookes.

[hutyluty]

yeah screw you mrdii, i couldnt even get into newcastle uni cos i wasnt clever enough

[cryptical]

^ #shitlad.

[kingGhost]

just TBH, #lads seem pretty cool to me

[mrdii]

Great to see my comment has caused #crackingbanter

Crazy as in using a 4200% APR Wonga loan to buy a whack shirt crazy, or a different kind of crazy?

[JTMMusicuk]

agent47 your never gunna live this down

[ezza]

nah just on facebook i see statuses like ' fuckin crazy last night with the lads, but we can hack it!'

and it just makes me think like yeah but you did fuck all, you went to a shit club drank beer and then was sick and went home.

A crazy weekend would be like going on a 3 day bender, ending up in a different country & maybe gettin arrested for fraud or sumut
