Do not be like Mr.X
Mr.X attended our university studying postgraduate computers.
Mr.X had an invitation to study for a PhD in Canada.
Mr.X may be clever academically, but has a level of brain function below the amoeba.
You see Mr.X wanted to entertain the campus with a comically hilarious jape. His choice of prank was to find a rather convincing replica gun, wander into the Great Hall and announce that he had chosen his targets and if his presentation went badly he would shoot them.
Mr.X's fellow students did not appreciate the finer qualities of his humour
Neither did the armed police who were called to remove him from the campus.
Neither did the judge who rejected his defence that 'it was a prank and no-one would actually take it seriously'.
Neither did the universities here and in Canada who have declined to welcome him as a student.
Perhaps his fellow residents at Her Majesty's Pleasure for the next eight months might be a more appreciative audience.
Or perhaps his tastes may be more international-when he will be deported back to China where his father-a prominent judge- will I'm sure be eager to debate the finer points of his comedy performance.
*Fortunately Kitty had just missed the bus to the university otherwise he would be walking across the Great Hall at just that time to get his lunchtime coffee and nibbles...
