Lockdown

It was observed that the OBRFCFRCC website was looking rather sad after a year of lockdown and no recorded activity. However let’s set the record straight… OBRFCFRCC is a thriving community, at the cutting edge of lockdown social engagements. The moment covid struck we were online, Zooming our way through takeaway and home curry’s once a month with the finest front row playing old Bristolians in Bristol in attendance.

This month was another corker. Snuds kept us on the straight and narrow with regular fact checks throughout, meaning that if any of the transcript below holds inaccuracies please point written complaints to one Dr. J Snudden.

Slammy’s shelving units were scrutinised and a proposal for the Dragons Den was created; floating shelves filled with helium as a storage solution. Adley, released a fistful of dubious helium factoids suggesting a worldwide shortage in the element could scupper the future of the floating shelf business. This OBRFCFRCC correspondent is still investing. An addendum to the shelving chat – hand sanitzier floats on water – even in a plastic bottle!

Chunk had to nip out for a poo at this point. But he was sure not to miss anything, remaining in the chat but turning his video off and muting himself. I guess that is 21st century etiquette for you?

After confirming that over half of attendees were drinking either cocktails or fruit juices the remaining beer drinking stalwarts (Adley, Morgs, Snuds) put their minds to worrying about the world economic and socio-political status of certain fruit drinks. An in depth and historical foray into the origins of Umbongo (they drink it in the Congo) was a crowd pleaser.

Sadly conversation eventually turned to rugby. Would the Vets team really beat the 1st XV in a game? Whiteman asserted they most certainly would, being the oldest member in attendance his position wasn’t entirely surprising. There were raised eyebrows from the younger members. Declaring himself done talking rugby, Whiteman departed and all agreed that was a fantastic conclusion to an enjoyable meeting for the OBRFCFRCC.

See you next month. Love you. Bye xxx
