Queen's is hilariously weird in many ways (see dominance of DUP in the SU causing three years and a court case for Ba'hai Society to get recognised) but the porters used to quite gleefully exercise their right to kick the religious off the campus should they take the piss. Definition of 'taking the piss' generally coming down to 'people are in my office complaining, make it stop'.
Current VC seems to be more wishy washy, as the Muslim Society are whining about not having a prayer room and he's making agreeing noises, which deeply angers me, as ferocious enforcement of our godless status is one of the things that made QUB a decent place, given the context.
Re: the Catholics being a bit slow - I wonder if it's because at the same formative age we're reading Narnia we're also reading a million saint's lives as well. So we're more used to random acts of martyrdom than average, probably.
Miscellaneous. Eclectic. Random. Perhaps markedly literate, or at least suffering from the compulsion to read any text that presents itself, including cereal boxes.
