[Milliways]: Milked in Oxford

It's always odd to be at school and out of uniform, even more so to be out of uniform and yet still wearing a jacket and tie. Posner carries an overnight bag with him as they file out the front doors. He supposes he'll get a real idea of what student life is meant to be like this time, dorms and meals and all.

"Hope they don't mind the trainers," says Lockwood in front of him. "They're all I've got."

"It's not an examination in footwear," Timms opines.

"Somebody told me when you go to the bogs, it's about four miles," Posner offers, opening the door to one of Cutlers' ridiculously un-posh vans. (He doesn't actually speak from experience. He and Moist didn't make it quite that far.)

"Listen," Timms says from his place by the other van. "Do you want to go to Oxford, or do you want to go somewhere with a shit degree that has toilets en suite?"

"What I say," says Rudge, "is if they don't like me, then fuck 'em."

"Oh, Peter, I wish I had your philosophy," Timms says as Crowther shuffles him into the van.

"What'll you do?" Scripps asks Dakin. "Flutter the eyelashes as usual?"
