"Interest in our BA<br /> in David Beckham Studies dropped off pretty fast once the students<br /> realised they weren't going to get a year in LA, so we needed to fill<br /> the gap."<br /> "We're playing to our strengths here. You won't get past your second<br /> pint in the Senior Common Room without several senior lecturers<br /> discussing their research. Whether it's Economics, Government Policy or<br /> the Baggies team sheet, we're all experts."</p> <p>Reg said the course will have an international flavour. "A guy from<br /> that Dutch University that figured out poor people don't tend to buy<br /> Ferraris is a guest lecturer. Apparently he's a Villa fan, but we'll<br /> excuse that if he gets his round in."</p> <p><img src="http://www.bbc.co.uk/nottingham/content/images/2005/02/16/kinki_chavs_015_470x352.jpg"></p> <p>Prospective student KayLeee (centre, with the Cranberry Breezer) said;<br /> "Like, me ma's always said I could, like, do with a bit more Common like,<br /> and anyways I'm not workin' down the nail parlour no more since they said<br /> I had to, like, turn up when THEY felt like it, not me, like.<br /> That's oppression that is."</p> <p>David Beemer-Golfcart of the Central Birmingham Chamber of Commerce was<br /> cautiously optimistic about the new venture. "Education is always a good<br /> thing. God knows, most of 'em haven't the brains they were born with.<br /> Keeps 'em off the streets I guess".</p> <p>Reg finished the press conference on the unique course with "It's a<br /> wonder no one's though of this before". </p>
