"Have YOU ever EXPERIENCED any of the FOLLOWING?"

"Bulimia, anxiety, depression, financial problems, racism, theft, abuse, sexism, violence, religion, anorexia?"

Not quite verbatim (I'd have felt guilty pinching it to copy here), but as closely as I can recall this is the opening text from a Student Guild Equal-Opps poster advertising a "discussion and support group" in the gents toilets in Devonshire House on campus. Italics are mine, obviously. I love how any university experience of religion at all must necessarily be some kind of trauma-inducing mental havoc. Fucking weird.

these groups are always pseudo-xtian anyway!

Just to point out that the POSTER was in the gents toilets - I don't think the discussion group will meet there.

On the streets of Reading, about a month ago, there was a Student Protest trestletable, with some big sheets of paper, and some people wanting to know if there was anything people wanted to see demonstrations/activations about. "Hey, Johnny, what you rebelling against?" "Umm, what have you got? No really, what have you got?"

I was tempted to write "Fox Hunting" and let them decide if they were supposed to protest against it or for it.

I strongly suspect that they wouldn't think that hard.

South Park: "I wanna get down on my knees and start pleasing Jesus! I wanna feel his salvation all over my face!"
