Christ Church College Formal Dinner, Oxford University

[WolframvonBielefeld9]

@hipmocrit you mean the formal dinners? I think there's an informal dinner earlier on in the evening, which is basically a cafeteria type thing that you don't have to dress up for, but its more social to go the the formal dinner, because its a big three course meal where you get to talk to everyone instead of just eating and leaving...though personally, I think the formal dinner looks a bit over the top...

I wish of all things I had an invite to a formla informal dinner at oxford, mostly and formerly among formorean mathematicians .... sounds funny, but that is all that it is ...

when was this video taken?

and why *are* there only men there? women are admitted :s

[hipmocrit]

are those mandatory?

[azarimanka]

@hipmocrit what?

[64Alvis]

There are only boys because for over 400 years only boys were admitted. I think women were first granted admission in the 1980s, after my time, old boy.

Love the video - vry nostalgic. Shame that you didn't use a College Choir recording - they're really good. Also it's Christ Church (no 'college') after Aedes Christi ('The House of Christ).
