i've just found out that e l. james (the author of the 50 shades books) went to the same school as ruby lmaooo

Oh bruhhhh! thats insane!

Who is Esme to Ruby?

If she actually stayed in Exeter for more than two seconds, she'd feel more at home there. It's so frustrating to see.

A home friend? She goes to the university of Exeter too…

Different writers have different styles, doesn't mean one is better than the other

That's... that's not what I meant at all.

Why does she sound like she's about to cry in her latest story?

In french, the word for "nothing" means "something" if it's used in a double negation.
I reproach you nothing : I reproach you nothing
I don't reproach you nothing: Also I reproach you nothing

Weird cause for me the last sentence means you are reproaching something because of the double negation. ive always found double negations very confusing anyway so I avoid using them, be it in French or English.

Only 571 students across 14 years? Far cry from my state secondary with 1100 - surely those numbers are incredibly low? She must have driven her poor teachers up the wall if the classes were such small sizes, they wouldn't have been able to escape

The whole school gives off a very coddled vibe, not one of those students would last in your typical state school where years have 150-200 kids. Even my (later) private secondary had 100+ per year. They have 40 (on average).

They probably only have about 20 kids per class (if not less) - a friend of mine went to my local private school and he said his class sizes were around that (versus the 35+ in my state school classes).

Update I got excited at 2.32 but that's a spider plant not the pineapple plant

 

[Deeandra2020]

i saw the video and read the title and thought it was a video of her discussing... her. was she finally gonna open up and talk about her? i was genuinely worried

 

[irunforfun]

Again, true. Guess it's just hard for me to imagine people actually live like this and don't have to work

Even if you take money and the need to work out of the equation, why wouldn’t you want to contribute to society or at least have others to talk to outside of mummy and daddy? Can you really be that self absorbed???

And she's lucky she's studying in the UK. I did my undergrad degree in English and German lit in Germany where we don't have reading weeks, we're expected to cope with the workload as the term progresses.

but doesn't term start way later? Or it probably differs from Land to Land I guess. Cause I'm currently doing my Erasmus in Bayern and the term only started last Monday on October 18th.

...to the extent that she even said Erimentha's flaw was not realizing how jealous she makes people...

when did she say that?

 

[Erebus]

Did Martha go to the same school as Ruby?

It looks like GWR (oh how I remember those grey on grey diamonds): https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Inside_GWR_Mark_3_TS_48104_(table_and_seats).JPG

GWR have a service that goes through Exeter to London, so could be homeward bound.

 

[Sausage Surprise !]

To save me going back through all the threads lol how come she is in her 4th year at Uni? I assume English is a 3 year degree

Untill his company start paying the amount of tax they’re supposed to, I don’t support him or his looks. Yes the government should shut down the loop hole but hey ho

What's his company's name?

 

[buflesse]

They were on about Martha

Ahhh OK, I must have got the wrong end of the stick not surprised about Martha going to college.
