Has it all been said?

Well my course was dominated by extremely pretentious people who had chosen it because it had a practical drama and they wanted to go to RADA but couldn't. But the lecturers seemed to love them and they talked about people I had never heard of and made me feel like a peasant. It was fairly clear that my tastes were desperately unfashionable and talking about them was not going to do me any favours... so I rather like the idea that they will have to read Tolkien as well as Bourroughs

The female lecturers were better ... in one seminar a tutor put to rest one childhood anxiety by explaining how to escape Daleks she and Sue Harper were fabulous. Greer was lecturing at Oxford when I did my PGCE but unfortunately the pesky teaching prac got in the way. In time I am sure she will produce "The Elven Eunuch" or some such..... given time...
