No idea, we were told to wear it on the left though, nothing was said about which side post-ceremony.

It was such a posh event though, procession into and out of the hall, trumpets, guys with stupid hats and flags on the end of spears, felt like it was the 19th century or something.

high-school graduations are way up there in my view as the most retarded things in the world next to banana republic stores and feminism.

that's a shame. not even in your old and prestigious universities? such a shame. i love that we keep our tradition and ceremony, makes it feel at least as though earning a degree is an achievement beyond qualifying for shitty management jobs nowadays. but yeah, high-school graduations are truly terrible... they reward mediocrity and applaud people for doing what anybody should be able to fucking do that is born with a functioning brain.

old and prestigious uni's?
Clearly you have never seen our uni's. Uni here is like high school for most. You pick something you like and you do it, bachelor and masters. No one quits after their bachelor, because you'll end up unemployed.
So thats why the uni graduations arent cool because to everyone it feels the same as with what you said about a high school graduation.

Whenever i see you uni or oxford or any of those i almost get jealous for not having those type of uni's here.
You feel smart and like you achieved something as soon as you step through the goddamn door. Whenever i stepped in my uni it felt like starting another 5 years of high school but with better hours.

There were 5 awarded to various people at Lancs this year, none were in my college ceremony though.

I'll just grab the book about it, I didn't know who any were apart from Jimmy Armfield (footballer)

Bletchley park was where they cracked the enigma machine in ww2, he's on the board of trustees there.

Cryptography is really quite interesting, especially pre-computers, it's one of the few topics about computer science that didn't bore me to death.
