A few weeks ago, it was reported in the Evening Post that some caveman scum got jailed for stamping on a student during a night out in the centre of Bristol.

While of course I DO NOT condone such acts of violence, it got me thinking – is anyone really that surprised that the more evolutionally-challenged members of our community resort to barbarity when faced with the archetypical Bristol Student?

Lord knows that after 20-odd years of having to put up with them, they push me to the limit.

As one might expect from a modern, stylish, and urbane man such as myself, I am well-travelled, especially around the UK.

The result of this is that I find myself in the fantastic position of being able to see what is comparatively great about Bristol, and also what is horrible.

One thing I have learned in particular is that students in Bristol seem to have the worst attitudes in the UK, if not the world.

University these days is more of an extended holiday camp than a place of education.

We all know that the first thing these kids look for when picking a university is how much "partying down" they can do in a city.

Combine the fact that Bristol has great nightlife and atmosphere with the fact that the main university here exists for vacuous rich-kid Oxbridge dropouts, and you can imagine what crawls out of the ooze.

To be fair, Bristol does get the cream of the crop when it comes to students, unfortunately this crop is made up pretty much exclusively of daddy-funded, scarf wearing, rah-rah toffs.

For instance, I was unfortunate enough to be in the Bristol Ram on Friday night, and the function room had been literally invaded by 50 or so braying children seemingly all called Charlie, Hatty or Oscar.

They spent the time standing in corridors and blocking the way to the toilet, doing twirls, shouting "yah" loudly, flashing wads of cash, and talking about how "quaint and full of local people" the pub was.

People of course will dismiss me, and call me a bitter old man who was too stupid to go to university. Whilst I may be bitter, my experience of Bristol's "elite future of the country" has more than justified it.

I am well aware this behaviour goes on in other cities, but what exacerbates things in Bristol is how they live in this smug, rich, immature bubble, don't seem to know or care how normal people live, or attempt to get involved in the city at all.

If any students get out of bed for long enough to read this, remember where you are, and remember your manners, and perhaps you'll garner a tiny bit more respect.
