OMG Anachronism! This made me laugh.

Reminds me of the--what was it?--"Upper Class Twit Olympics" from Monty Python? A classic.

Contestants hop, skip and jump holding a brimming gin and tonic. The winner is the one left with the most drink in their glass.

They don't consume prior to moving? Primitive bastards. No wonder they're endangered.

I was gutted to have missed this (I had to go to Leicester for a work meeting that day last week). I really wanted to go and watch...

(hello btw... first dalliance with MeCha after a year or so at MeFi)

Hi, greycap! Please fill out the appropriate forms in triplicate. When you're done, take the pink copy down to the Hazing Department, where several masked Metachatters will be happy to assist you. Thanks!

I thought of Upper Class Twit too! Now that I know about this, I want to go someday. You're lucky greycap. At least you live in the country!

Reading from a paperback??!! (sniffs, adjusts monocle) Quel arriviste!

And speaking of anachronisms, isn't the chappy in puce in the first photo the self-styled King of Pop?

In the Bounders discipline chaps approach a lady, behave like cads and the one who is slapped hardest around the face wins.

A befitting punishment for bounders and cads!

I thought this was really funny, though I was slightly disturbed by the horse racing event.

I really liked the look on that purse-wielding girl's face.

That guy in the first photo really does stand out! Where did he get a suit that color?
