@RRN63: to be fair, a lot of people feel the Oxford/Cambridge division is exactly the opposite: Oxford producing jolly, round, intelligent but fun types, while Cambridge produces tall, icy, sarcastic types. Terry Jones and Dudley Moore are Oxford, John Cleese and Peter Cook are Cambridge.

@RRN63: no deferring necessary :)
Stephen Fry wrote an interesting article on the topic, linking the differences between the Oxford and Cambridge types with the history of the two universities. Very interesting read.
