3. Old Scouts rugby club only require 2 hours sleep a night and like to play indoor football at 5.15 am
4. Charlie Dean is in fact spider man

6. At 40+ you are too old to sleep in bunk beds
7. Modern day students don’t drink as much as when I was university
8. Cromer’s No.1 Fish Bar is outstanding
9. £1.49 is a good price for whole cooked chicken post 10.30pm
10. Ben Marlow will always look out for his mates
