Desk graffiti
Picture the scene; it’s silent, 8pm in the University of Leeds library. The only occasional sound is the rustle of papers, perhaps the closing of a book now and again. Everyone hard at work, clearly committed to their studies; after all exams are only a week away.
I’d been studying in there for most of the day and had just finished revising a chapter on the software development life-cycle. I had a little stretch and closed the text book. Moving my pad across the desk to get another one of my books, I was confronted with the word”BOLLOCKS” ingrained in the desk with a black biro. I won’t say I was shocked because after many years in the school system in days gone by it was something I’d seen on a regular basis, but it was still surprising to say the least. How can people, clearly clever enough and committed enough to study for a respectable degree in a respectable establishment, deface the desk with obscenities with one hand while turning the pages of the complete works of Shakespeare with the other? Quiet unbelievable.
