Durham University. One of the UK's top higher education institutions situated one of the countries most beautiful cities. Renowned for its Norman castle, collegiate system and a disproportionate number of Oxbridge rejects. Second only to Loughborough in the BUCS league and boasting a consistently entertaining, if rather one-note, nightlife, three years in the home of the Posh Geordies is one of the best university experiences around. You'd think being a World Top 100 university that there'd be a general air of intelligence around the place. And you'd be completely wrong. Some of the things that come out of the institution's alleged best and brightest's mouth are so inane you'll be shocked some of these people made it in, let alone lasted until graduation. Many universities have private overheard groups, but Durham's, with its mix of the obliviously posh and unbelievably stupid has to be one of the best. Sift through the endless requests for help finding a lost iPhone 5S and adverts for shoes/Ray Bans and there's some absolute gems in there. Here are 32 of those ill-informed comments.

I'm skipping a lecture to go and play croquet.
