Never heard of "The Wild Angels"

You wouldn't. Although they did make a few records, they were essentially a live act, who made their living on the rock'n'roll revival/cabaret/Butlins/student ball circuit.

Oxford University was founded over 300 years before the Aztec Empire was established

I’m in Oxford right now and the main thing I’ve noticed is the coffee machine dispenses 1.5 times as much coffee as the size of cup I’ve been allocated!

I’m not saying that’s directly the University’s fault, but c’mon, supposed to be the home of boffins for centuries.

Maybe it’s part of some problem solving test to spot a genius.

Well if they were observing my solution it was this:

 

Stare at overflowing cup. Look up and look around for help. Look at cup.

Strong strong willing vibes for machine to stop.

Tilt cup to pour some more coffee in to spill tray.

Drag bottom of cup along work surface to get rid of some drips.

Walk back to table with sticky cup and inform wife of the absolute carnage I have just witnessed.

 

I’ll be expecting a letter from Oxford Poly in the coming days.

Did you make a "hhnnnnnngghh" sound at the same time? I find that often works.

It’s usually me that stops just after the hhnnnnnngghh sound.

Did he think he was in heaven in the alcohol aisles? :D

Depending on local state laws, they may not have had such things. When I was in Maryland in the early 90s you couldn't buy booze in supermarkets, you had to go to 'liquor stores'.
