Wipe That Quirke Off Your Page
Sir,
Having arrived as a Fresher, reading Classics,
I was disturbed to find that an older member
of my college, reading my subject, was in fact
one of the most drunken and offensive people
I have ever met in my life.
Although I live in one of the most dangerous
areas of Manchester, I have never yet encountered someone so thoroughly despicable as Keiron Quirke, and hopefully never will again. Despite my ethos that no-one is deserving of my contempt, I nevertheless find that this particular individual is awful both in looks and countenance.
Yours sincerely,
John Staples
Other fans of Mr.Quirke will be delighted to note that he writes a
spectacularly unfunny column in the Cherwell. But then that's a tautology
isn't it...
