The Old Blue is with the printers in its final format. It has to be printed, bound with a separate cover, similar to the school Blue, sent to the distribution company and despatched. Estimated despatch date is towards the end of next week, so that it should hit doormats before the end of January, wh...

I belive these are from a few years back. Here are this year's Darwin Awards -- the annual honour given to the person who improved the "gene pool" the most by killing themselves in the most extraordinarily stupid way. As always, competition this year has been keen. And the candidates this ...

I was in Sherwood from 67 - 69. In my day, the Halls were single sex. From what I remember, Florence Boot, Nightingale, Cavendish, Willoughby and Ancaster were women's Halls. I went out with someone from Ancaster and she was very definitely female. I spent my third year in a flat near Trent Bridge. ...

I thought so. He was at Nottingham University when I was there and gave me a lift up once when he had a new car. It had seat belts, which appeared not to adjust, at least I couldn't work it out, so I spent the whole journey flattened to the seat. It was a long journey as either he was running it in,...

And to think this column always believed that diarrhoea was hereditary because it runs in your genes.

Not a joke, but for all those interested, barring catastrophes the Old Blue goes to the printers today.

In the 'Good Old Days', prior to vascar etc, you would always be given a 10 per cent tolerance. Hence, if the speed limit was 30, you would NOT be prosecuted for doing 33 m.p.h. 34 m.p.h. would be debatable. 35 m.p.h. would probably result in prosecution. Here in Spain, the last time that had a bli...

Just posted this elsewhere but... The Old Blue is coming along nicely, thank you, and if all goes to plan, which I doubt, should go off to the printers next week. We will then be in the hands of the printers, binders, envelope stuffers and delivery agents, over which we have little control although ...

Perhaps I was dreaming, then! I'll wake up when Eric barks at the postman, and my copy will be in the postbox! :D Seriously, though, perhaps I was thinking of 'The Old Blue' which, as we know, isn't quite ready yet..... The Old Blue is coming along nicely, thank you, and if all goes to plan, which ...

The magazine costs money and so far there is no charge to Old Blues, part of the demise of the CH club and birth of the Association. Should anyone else get it free and if we are to charge, then how do we work out a cost and who do we charge? Decisions, decisions, our main priority so far has to been...

A judge was interviewing a woman regarding her pending divorce, and asked, "What are the grounds for your divorce?" She replied, "About four acres and a nice little home in the middle of the property with a stream running by." "No," he said, "I mean what is the fou...

Given time and effort, the Old Blue may well be made available to the world in electronic format. I am working on it now and have just received a first pull from the person who puts it into Quark, a software used by the printers, so if I can get it sent to me from deepest Sussex to a small village n...

A couple was celebrating their golden wedding anniversary. Their domestic tranquillity had long been the talk of the town. A local newspaper reporter was inquiring as to the secret of their long and happy marriage. "Well, it dates back to our honeymoon," explained the man. "We visited...
