As I've mentioned, my old college has a reunion feast for old members 30 years after they leave. It's the appointment I'd had written in my diary the longest in advance, ever.
And then they wrote to me saying, it was over-subscribed, so I couldn't come.
WTF? Don't they know how many old members they have?
And they had 30 years to prepare themselves....
I was shocked. I've never heard of such a thing.
So anyway, I've had another letter from them, on much nicer paper, saying they've discovered it's all OK, and I can come after all. Goody.
Strangely, the first (you can't come) letter was from the person in charge of organising the feast, whereas the second (you can) letter was from the man in charge of fund-raising from old members of the college. I can't think why.
