Eh, regardless, …
Eh, regardless, thanks for watching and for your input. Sorry you had such a bad Ifor experience.
Eh, I actually …
Eh, I actually don’t mind it. I’m staying on a floor of mostly graduate students, so perhaps it’s a little cleaner than a floor full of freshers. And it seems like the security you described is on par with any of the other halls- except we have a huge gate. People had stuff stolen? How? Don’t people lock their doors? I haven’t heard anything about stolen stuff.
Also, I’m not really minding the food- sure there are some off nights, but then again, it’s cafeteria food and not that bad at all.
I lived in Ifor …
I lived in Ifor Evans in 2005 and it was terrible. I’ve stayed in cleaner places in rural Bolivia. The food was disgusting and the security consisted of one 45 year old guy who spent most of his time chatting to students. Needless to say ALOT of people had things stolen.
Having said that it was nice being catered for, one less thing to worry about.
It may well have improved since then but there were far better halls, John Dodgson was nice I seem to remember.
No problem- I’m …

Oh, and I guess …
Oh, and I guess another way to put it is this: nearly half of my viewers are British and thoroughly enjoy my videos (well, either that or they’re lying through their teeth).
Thank you very much …
Thank you very much!
Well, I think most educated people know to seperate a people from its government. My British friends do give me some crap for being American, but it’s all in good fun- and of course, I dish it on back. But otherwise, it’s a great environment.
I love this channel …
I love this channel. Youre doing a great job.
I curious about the general attitude towards the U.S. government and/or the American people. Do the students see us as brothers, or the ugly stepchildren they have to tolerate?
