Can you no longer do what I previously did and sign the gown out for the whole year?

I know of several which have been out for several years at a time...

[Bonnie]

I returned the red gown I used in 05-06 to the gown cupboard.

But it's been almost 6 months since then. I'm sure it's been taken. Don't forget, there are other Union people who could possibly have borrowed them.

You could always go down the evil route of one student and create your own gown design. I'm not talking about having your own gown made to look like a St Andrews undergraduate gown at a much cheaper price. I'm talking about getting a choir robe, sewing on a patch, and calling it your own special society gown.

...and calling it your own special society gown.

You mean like the President of St Mary's College Society? Or has that gown been mislaid as well?

[Bonnie]

I was making a not so subtle reference to another society "gown". I haven't seen the one you referred to, but I do believe a divinity student told me it still existed. This would have been about two years ago.
I was under the impression that that gown was respectable looking and the divinity faculty also looked after it.

It is still extant, and still in good nick. I know the one you mean, Bonnie, and it's an abomination.

But what is the point of having your own dining club if you don't have a special gown and a medallion in a Mr T stylee?

Crazily, I subscribed to the idea that the point was to dine - preferably well. I was always in a minority.

It makes me regret more and more, Dr Joss, that we never pushed ahead with our plan to revive Common Dines.

Bill and Ted beat the Grim Reaper at Twister

Bill: "You played very well, Death, especially with your totally heavy Death robes."

Death: "Don't patronise me."

It makes me regret more and more, Dr Joss, that we never pushed ahead with our plan to revive Common Dines.

And have Dines go the way of a certain dining club from which I am (unjustly) blackballed? Better to have been left buried, I say.

[exnihilo]

I think it was our plan to write much more strict rules, rather than rely on an unspoken code of gentlemanly conduct. Oh, how we laugh at that notion now.
