"At the Uni...Marjolein: thank you:)<br /><br />UB: nope!<br />"At the University of Oxford a gaudy ('gaude' at New College, Oxford, pronounced the same) is a college feast. It is often a reunion for its alumni. The origin of the term may be connected to the traditional student anthem, Gaudeamus.<br />Gaudies generally involve a celebratory formal dinner, generally in black tie and academic gowns (scarlet festal robes for doctors), and may include events such as chapel services, lectures or concerts beforehand. For reunions, the invitees are generally graduate alumni from a number of (usually two or three) consecutive matriculation years, e.g. 1999-2001. Typically, gaudies are held for each year-group on around a ten-year cycle."<br />Wives not invited - not in our day.<br />Pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01529798893653033970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20735769.post-17898144560768208982013-06-12T05:07:44.430+01:002013-06-12T05:07:44.430+01:00Yes, don't worry, I couldn't honestly beli...Yes, don't worry, I couldn't honestly believe that you'd make a comment like that :-)Gadjo Dilohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08998278830936531990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20735769.post-885498368034221532013-06-11T14:47:28.050+01:002013-06-11T14:47:28.050+01:00I was thinking 'wood nymph' too :-)I was thinking 'wood nymph' too :-)<br /><br />neena maiya (guyana gyal)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01358313821005038118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20735769.post-89249220824168402922013-06-11T14:33:58.036+01:002013-06-11T14:33:58.036+01:00Pat you look like a little Oread Nymph on the Near...Pat you look like a little Oread Nymph on the Near Poros , Greece photo :)lomhttp://giveitanothergo.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20735769.post-88863549213060551892013-06-11T12:39:14.775+01:002013-06-11T12:39:14.775+01:00YTL is a dead ringer for Ian Fleming!
