Bert, The Box Office and Eleven Hundred Quid.

[LardSardine]

Disarrono (on the rocks) at 6 in the morning with ladies picked up in Club Wow/ Roxy's/ Xanadus/ Cairo's, posting on the forum at 6.44am - It all seems a great idea at the time... Until you wake up, see the stunner is now a munter, you can taste Almonds... inane drunken posting is the least of your troubles..?

Class of 2000 reunion? With the mention of Xanadus there it's like a 1993 reunion! Aah, sticky carpets

Awesome times, I turned 18 back in '95 and it was all them places plus the likes of the Bradbury Club, the Pav(ilion) at Matlock, Berlins where I lost most of my innocence.

 

[Bladeloyal]

Crouchy is familiar with Oxford colleges and would never recommend Christ Church to anyone. Crouchy thinks that Balliol is also full of twats (and if Darren believes that it is left wing then he has been sadly misinformed). Perhaps Darren meant Wadham?

christ church is ok for hollywood movies .im a jesus man myself .well young twofoot is

I remember you telling me on Bladesunited. Mrs Crouchy and I are both ex-Jesus. I was at their boathouse yesterday as it happens.

Anyway - Wilson out

 

[Northyorksblade]

As we walked into Oxford along the tow path Saturday aftenoon we could very well have passed you then! It was pretty lively!

 

[Bert]

Never mind poncing around Oxford, what's going to happen about Bert's season tickets??

PS Hello Crouchy you old lavatory seat, long time no see, how's the world of bean counting these days?

Greetings Bert - it's always good to keep up with regional business leaders (retired) such as yourself.

The world of beancounting is treating me well. I have left the crowded world of Crouch End and now live in Oxfordshire. I work not far from RAF Benson and thus my grafting is often interrupted by Merlin and Chinook helicopters clattering about. Otherwise things are good. I am touched that you asked

yes crouchy shes just about to do her 3rd year chem exams before her year in research,off down to see her next weekend, and to quaff some champers at raymond blancs (cheap place in jerico ) not his main gaff.

 

[Jon Bon]

Jon Bon will be renewing his season ticket this week. Jon Bon doesn't expect any favours from the box office. Jon Bon won't be asking for any. Jon Bon fully expects though, that his head will turn into a cartoon Ass's head and a loud braying sound will be heard as he hands over his money....

Darren says hello to Crouchy.

His knowledge of Oxford Colleges derives solely from his daughter. She is the source of the People's Republic story and she tells him that Wadham is known as "Sodem" on the grounds that heterosexuality is not a quite a majority pursuit. As for Christ Church Darren gets the impression that it is the Toriest of Tory colleges and he is told (again by his daughter) that CC's proudest boast is that it has a cathedral

Crouchy thinks that Darren means "Sodom". If indeed Wadham is awash with men who are good with colours, it seems more likely to Crouchy to be left-wing compared to Balliol, which is full of chaps in deck shoes and jumpers over shoulders on the shark for fine fillies

Darren bows to Crouchy's superior knowledge on such matters. He just hopes the young Balliol men are not "sharking" for his beloved offspring. Darren is hoping she will be his retirement plan and keep him in holidays to Cuba when she is earning £20,000 per day with her hoped for Oxford first, the last thing he wants some posh git spiriting her away and forbidding her to see her somewhat unposh father.

 

[JJ Sefton]

Walthamstow wonders if he will see Darren and Crouchy punting together.

 

[Darren]

Walthamstow wonders if he will see Darren and Crouchy punting together.

Darren went punting with his daughter a couple of weeks ago. He had never punted before in his life (ooer missus) and was not exactly expert at it. As Darren was inexpertly punting down the river, his daughter's college "father" came smoothly punting past. He was a gilded looking young man of around 20. Darren thought he was in some moral tableau about the British class system.

NB: if WB is not familiar with the Oxford college system of mothers/fathers/siblings, he is well out of it.

Walthamstow went to Birkbeck College and has no idea what youre on about.

 

[Darren]

Walthamstow went to Birkbeck College and has no idea what youre on about.

Darren had never heard of it either before his daughter ended up at Oxford. It works like this:

As a first year you are assigned two second year students as your "mother" and "father". These people are supposed to look after you generally and give you a buttonhole when you take your exams (seriously). Also, as a first year you are assigned a "husband" or "wife" and, when you become a second year you and your husband or wife become mother and father to a new first year. As in Christ Church (and lots of other Oxford colleges) males vastly outnumber females, there are lots of "gay marriages" as well. The rule, by the way, is that you are not allowe to be in a "real" relastionship with your college "husband" or "wife" - in other words you can't shag your "husband" or "wife".

Darren couldn't believe it when he was told about it and thought it sounded like a weird cult.

What about your "kids", are you allowed to shag your "kids"???

 

[Highbury_Blade]

Or your mum and dad (At the same time)?

The education system in Barnsley is by far the best in this region. The schools are all
'Approved' or High Schools on a hill. coat------

All sounds a bit poncy to Vancouver although he does think the networking potential would be fantastic.

SellyOakBlade thinks that had he gone to Oxford, he would probably have ended up with the George and Mildred of Christ Church colledge as his "mum" and "dad"...

 

[parisblade]

Ps .. it's sill cheaper than the 60 euros to watch Auxerre play a cat 3 game !!!

60 euros!!! Sacre bleu mon ami, you're being robbed! At least when PSG come to town you get to see some boxing as well

 

[parisblade]

I would suggest that Bert's plight is exactly the kind of case that those nice people at Help the Aged love to get their (false) teeth into! Helping OAPs or SCs against business sharks like SUFC is what they thrive on. Bert could also consider contacting that champion of the people, Esther Rantzen, and propose an exclusive interview.

In all seriousness, thanks for brightening up a very dull morning in the office in Paris. Hopefully retirement will see you post more often on here! How's the burgundy collection going?

Crouchy is not familiar with this arrangement. It is either new (ie less than 25 years old) or a custom unique to Christ Church. Crouchy suspects the latter.

Hice! Hice! Hice! (Ask your daughter)

Don't need to ask her - Darren knows CC is known as "House". He also knows it is infra dig to refer to "Christ Church College" and that there is some graiffiti about Robert Peel being some kind of traitor over the Corn Laws scratched in the hall.

This is fairly common practice everywhere, isn't it? They call it "Gaudie Night" at St Andrews and Dundee. The "parents" take the fresher out or cook them dinner or something. Later in the term, the fresher returns the favour, which is "Raisin weekend".
