Finals

Another Oxford tradition:
When you visit Oxford in May/June, you might see something really strange (apart from all the other strange stuff that is going on here).
Students throwing flour, ketchup, baked beans, rice and other gross stuff at each other...while wearing suit/dress, gown and bow tie!!!

Apparently all the finalists get "trashed" by their friends after their last exam. All their friends wait outside the exam schools for them and as soon as the finalists leave the building, their friends kidnap them, tape them up, infuse them with champagne and pour ketchup, flour, shampoo and other gross things on them.

The whole ritual usually ends at a bar with lots and lots of beer...here are some impressions (good god i hope that doesn't happen to me)
