Unofficial Christ's Hospital Forum

After a conversation with Great Plum at the CHA Carol-.... Jolly (i think that is the best adjective), we have come up with an ingenious system of defining Old Blues based around the current system.

YOB (Young Old Blue): OB's between 18-30 (To be addressed as 'Oi!' or other similar greeting?)
MOB (Mature Old Blue): OB's between 30-45
GOB (Grumpy Old Blue): OB's between 45-60
SOB (Senior Old Blue): OB's 60 and Above (To be addressed as Sir?)

Now, obviously there needs to be some fun ones....

TACHOB: (Teaching at CH Old Blue): Self explanatory
BOB: (Band Old Blue's) Any OB thats been in band
COB: (Choir Old Blue's) Any OB thats been in choir
EOB: (Elite Old Blue's) Any OB that has belonged to an Elite CH Organization (i.e Schola Cantorum, Lunchtime Concert
Crew, SAS etc)
ASCOB: (Assistant Super Cool Old Blue's): Assistant Band Captain (The people that do the real work basically)
SCOB: (Super Cool Old Blues) Any OB thats been a Choir Leader/Band Captain/Orchestra Leader/Organ Scholar/Head of
CCF/Head of Crayon Club
FLOB: (File Librarian Old Blues) Any OB thats been a Choir/Band Librarian/Crayon Club Crayon Organization Assistant/

Some one make up some more.

This was pointless

See what happens when boredom sets in (after broken bones!)

Geoff

YOB,BOB,COB,EOB(schola),SCOB(band),FLOB(band)

That would make me Amanda Mazur, YOB, BOB, COB, EOB, ASCOB. Nice.

Lets add FOB (Foreign OB or living abroad OB) as there are many of us here who are resident in other parts of the world).

Also SMOB which is School Monitor OB...(couldn't make up one for Senior Grecian but who wants that title now and yet this could be seen as a SCOB)...

Nice idea I must say...

MOB, FOB, SMOB, SCOB!

Not forgetting the HOBs

Oooh, you just beat me to it Mary

Which would make me GOB and HOB

Hopefully we are all SLOBS

Still living Old Blues although I sometimes wonder in my own case, particularly when I attend Charlton's matches.

I'm convinced I've died and gone to Hell!

Terrific, Andy -

I like this category the best of them all!

If I am to be a SOB, I should prefer not to addesssed as SIR! However, "Madam or Ma'am" goes nicely with SHOB or perhaps SOB HOB.

SOB couldalso be taken to mean Silly Old Bat.

If you're an Hertford Old Girl who's also Nice, you're a

HOB NOB

You're getting confused Angela. Hob Nobs and Nice are completely different

Hertford Old Blue? Nice Old Blue?

True though - if I were a biscuit, I would hope to be a perfect Florentine. Mmm.

Very special mindset on this forum !!

Oh dear, I sense a new topic coming on...

... A CHOCOLATE DIGESTIVE! No contest.

Milk or plain chocolate, Philip?

I imagine you as the plain chocolate variety. A little more dark and flavoursome, perhaps?
