There are two UNSW people in my staircase who lurk on this blog, and one USyd guy... I'm thinking Summer VIIIs would be good, too. Brendan, Timothy and DEM are also in the UK. Only thing is two of us are rowing for VIIIs, which could be awkward. Good idea.

“In British English, a term referring to Cambridge students, used primordially by members of Oxford University”

No. My student days are behind me. I just visit Cambridge because my parents live there.

Is there slang for someone who went to UNSW? (awaits jokes and horrible insults about UNSW students)

They’re just hedging their bets so that if it gets colder they can say, “see - we were right on with our trends” and if it turns out warmer - or even the same as 2007 - they can say, “Ooh… even warmer than we expected”.
