Nah...ever since Lord of the Rings and Peter Jackson, New Zealand has gone down the tubes.
East Timor is the new black.

I've met him actually. He's dead sweet. He sent us a letter of thanks afterwards and everything.

When I was in university, school authorities once accused me of planning to assassinate Bishop Tutu. Seriously.

When I was at university anyone who got a lower second degree called it a Desmond. Tutu. 2:2 Geddit? Lord, I'm even funnier than Maccers.

And a third was a Geoffrey, right?
What was a first and a 2:1 again?

I thought a 3rd was a Douglas. Douglas Hurd.

Geoff (Hurst) and Atilla (the Hun) respectively. And yes, Third was a Douglas. Also rhyming slang for a turd.

Have you been to Cru? That's a jinxed spot, and I fear a 65K diaspora by the new year.

When I was at university Desmond Tutu gave the commencement speech and it was quite possibly the worst commencement speech I've ever heard. And I've been to several graduations.

Ok, I'm Romanian, but have lived in the US for 24 yrs. I'm wondering: why do Europeans omit the article when talking about higher education Example: "when I went to University..."
Shouldn't there be a "the" in there?

Robotnik - the American equivalent is "college". No article is requires - "When I was in college" is proper rather than "When I was in the college".

Sterling, a good point but...isn't there more than ONE University in England? And so...how do we distinguish WHICH University one attended?
Also, why not drop the article on other nouns.
Like: I went to store and bought cigarettes.
Or: I'm going to theatre tonight to meet up with Maccers...

LX, you are searching for logic in the English language? Once you find it, we could use a hand with those WMD's.

Don't Midwesterners drop the definite article? I distinctly recall one M. Ringwald shrieking, "What about Prom, Blaine? What about Prom?"
Sterling, wanna tell us why it's "at university" but "in college"?
