Ah, Rude Boy. Never before has a nickname so eloquently summed up all you need to know about the subject - for he is a boy and very very rude. You don't really need to know much more than that!
Over the past year I have had the 'pleasure' of sharing a seminar group with RB. Woo and yay. He was also part of the group of three people from Mary's who would, every three weeks, have to give a presentation on the document we were studying. All you had to do was prepare some context on the source and make a few points about the language/tone/bias etc. So far, so straightforward. Oh no.
Our seminars were on a Thursday morning, so every Wednesday at dinner before a seminar, RB would accost me in the dining hall.
'Have you done it yet?'
'Er, yes', I would (usually) reply.
'Oh f**k'
'I take it you haven't done it yet then?'
'No. It's alright though, you go first and say all of your stuff, and then I'll just blag it and make up some points.'
Which he invariably did. The other two of us in the group regularly carried RB through our seminars, but somehow I don't think our lecturer ever noticed! On second thoughts, maybe Rude Lazy Boy would be more appropriate...
