wangmaster Posted December 24, 2009 Author Share Posted December 24, 2009 oh no, I'm serious, both my grandads genuinely own them. and I don't have one, I guess I'm just not a hat type of person really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonsu Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 ^ did you go to Sheffield Uni or Leeds? 'coz I'm thinking of applying to one of the two next year. and Barnsley's alright for the most part, it's not massive or overly exciting though. it has a bad reputation on account of the accent and stereotypes, but it's no different to any other town around here really. like Sheffield except smaller is the best way I can describe it. I went to the University of Leeds, quite a while ago now, though still a high-ranking uni I believe. I studied history, though it was more of a mix of international history and politics and sociology. I don't know much about Sheffield uni - only went there for nights out :P Plenty of older gents wear flat caps down south too, 'joking' about regional stereotypes aside.

wangmaster Posted December 24, 2009 Author Share Posted December 24, 2009 he's a fair legend is ol' Parkinson. I found out recently that my grandad went to school with him, they used to be pretty close friends apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
