During my university career I had some wonderful, intuitive tutors who were delighted when I did such things as compare Shakespeare's `Troilus and Cressida' with Monty Python's `The Life of Brian' (: But on the other hand there is the oft quoted remark on my Art History and Theory Essay which still makes my jaw drop in utter horror even today: `Your opinion is no substitute for serious engagement in academic literature'. Translate: don't bother with your own ideas. We just want you to regurgitate a little Paz and Derrida.' Dog's bollocks.
