Hark upon the Gale 

A line from the William and Mary alma mater song. The full verse goes:

"William and Mary, loved of old,
Hark upon the gale!
Hear the thunder of our chorus,
Alma mater hail!"

The college and the students use this phrase a lot, both seriously and in jokes. It is a well-known phrase to anyone at the college.
A few freshmen in the dining hall, loudly: "William and Mary, loved of old..."
Camille: Some freshmen are singing the Alma Mater agian.
Joey: Let's join them!
Camille: Are you serious?
Literally everyone in the dining hall: HARK UPON THE GALE! HEAR THE THUNDER OF OUR CHORUS...

Kingston-upon-Thames 

A great town in SW London, not in Surrey as someone else wrote. in fact, it hasn't been in Surrey since 1965, when they created Greater London. Has Kingston University, many good shops, pubs, and several large nightclubs. And the river Thames, of course. This is particularly popular with drunken students of a weekend in summer, who either sit beside it at one of the many riverside pubs, drinking, or, fall in and drown, or catch Weil's disease from the water coming from the sewage works farther up the Hogsmill river, which convieniently joins it near the aforesaid riverside pubs.
Did you you get accepted into Oxford uni then? No, but even better, I'm going to Kingston-upon-Thames!

West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
