    In defence of Spa Weekend (opens the original)

    Last Sunday morning, I walked about an hour on a pilgrimage through a deprived part of inner-city Glasgow around the time you might go to church. My sister had gone to university for the first time the day before, and my mum and I were missing her. So we wanted some light-hearted relief from dwelling on the passing of time. In a move that I feared a lot of my Cambridge peers would frown upon, we were going to see a movie with almost exclusively one-star reviews: Spa Weekend. The premise of Spa W

I think they assumed that I found it too posh or academically intense or scary, or that I was secretly one of those things. It’s only now, at the end of the known universe that is graduation, that I’ve become confident that I made the right decision.
