Old Blues Day 2011
I can't find this Topic anywhere, at the moment so ----
I am looking forward to this year's OB Day, as last year, was on the last day of Term, and seemed full of scaffolding --- or was that Founder's Dinner ?
You see that Senility strikes ! -- (83 April 3rd !)
Having been away for a fortnight (Cheers from the Gallery !) viewing the Northern Lights -- Can't spell Auroura Borealis ! -- which was spectacular, in the Arctic Circle at Alta, but always a gamble. I am now catching up on less spectacular sights, and announce that (DV) I shall be there, clad, as usual, in red Carnation and Guard's Tie.
I would love to have a chat with some of the younger OBs who may use this Forum, some come up and introduce yourself --- I don't bite !
(Although I MAY be participating in the Debate -- "It was better in my time " --- which should be fascinating !)
What say you ?

Re: Old Bloes Day 2011
I don't get it.
What are Bloes?
Is this some sort of ultra-witty play-on-words that's going right over my head?
Or is it an in-joke that the likes of me simply doesn't get?
Or did you mean to write "Old Blokes' Day 2011"?
I'm confused.
Whatever it is, am I invited?

I'm afraid your invitation has just been withdrawn, due to your distressing dietary habits.Bingo the Poop-Eating Dog wrote:Whatever it is, am I invited?
Re: Old Bloes Day 2011
Please note that Old Blues Day (which includes Old Bloes Day, Neill!) will include unveiling of a new plaque on the War memorial(ten new names) and the launch of a new book "Freedon We Died For You" - see "New Book" thread on this forum.

Re: Old Bloes Day 2011
You see the disadvantages of a good Education !!
It would appear that Bob Finch and myself, are leading the Debate on "It was better in My Day"
Both from Barnes ---- but of course it may have been different, from the other end of the Avenue ------ "Where Angels fear to tread"
Coming to the Debate, will enable you to be rude to me, in person !
