Knockdown college

[ewx]

A common response to complaints about a shortage of road space in Cambridge is “which college do you want to knock down?”.

I don't really want to knock down Peterhouse itself, but some of the "chaps" in it would make good speedbumps. Also the dons at Trinity who refused to put in lighting on their bit of the backs as it would "spoil the view". Despite their students getting repeatedly mugged.

And the UL (once all the lovely books are out of course), it's evil! </ranty ex-student>

If you knock down the UL, the evil bound into the fabric of the building will leak out all over Cambridge rather than being safely confined.
Do you really want shoggoths spontaneously instantiating in the Guildhall?

Shoggoths!

Sounds fun; why not?

Think of the penguins!

A penguin ate my Cthulu, you insensitive clod!

That's... a very large penguin. Scared now.

It's ok. We just need a polar bear carrying club the size of planet mars.

...what?

Will it go up like the Ghostbusters building after the containment field has been turned off?

[fluffymormegil.livejournal.com]

We're not entirely sure.

And is Slimer a trainee shoggoth?

Peterhouse could actually be a good choice, because you could put a new river crossing in in its place and relieve the pressure on Fen Causeway. (Although what's really needed there is a link from Newnham village to Brooklands Avenue.)

I'll see your Peterhouse and raise you Robinson (except with some of the 'chaps'at Robinson, just making them speedbumps would be too kind - I'd go for spreadeagling, in the original Roman army sense of the word).
