My favourite academic / IT story involves a phonecall to our IT support:

Support: Hi, Alex. How are things?
Alex: Fine thanks.
Support: So, what can I do for you?
Alex: It's my computer.
Support: What's wrong with it?
Alex: It's on fire?.......What do I do?

Here lies the hidden message behind "Get your own f***ing glue!" and the clear code "Could you take us to Cwmdonkin Bowls Club please?"

Spike in support for Welsh nationalism is usually 'Plaid gets a seat' or 'one more seat' so it's difficult to miss.

I used to have these about my last exam. The difference is that for some reason I'm doing it in the present day and haven't looked at Numerical Analysis III for decades. Which isn't the ideal preparation.
