Being the discerning sort you are, you will be aware that sometimes, all too often some of you may say, when I sit down and scribble this ludicrous email, I really have nothing to tell you. Other weeks the problem is I don’t know where to start. Well, it’s one of those weeks. My, have I had a busy one and I’m quite exhausted. Kylie Minogue at Newmarket tonight so woop woop to that.
First off, I’m not one for castle-creeping however I’ve been mixing with the rich and famous true enough and have got a new best friend. Photo attached. Had lunch with him at Hawksmoor last Friday. He wasn’t wearing a dress which was quite a relief. For various reasons probably enough said on this subject in this forum.
Then on Wednesday evening I went to a charity auction. Remember I told you just the other day about my twitchy finger? Well it happened again. Why on earth did I think that buying 4 tickets to watch New Zealand play Namibia in a World Cup group match at the Olympic Stadium 8pm on a Thursday evening was a good idea? In the end I avoided being landed with them by the skin of my teeth, but I didn’t know that when I skulked home at mid-night, feeling broke and somewhat the worse for wear from the dubious wine we had been served, muttering innocuously to Sophie that I had had a lovely evening.
And talking of wine, Bob, hot on the heels of his success in the hurdles, has clearly decided with a year to go, it is high time he fleshed out his somewhat patchy list of school achievements. Catching pigeons and Canada geese bare-handed or rustling up grilled squirrel in his house kitchen don’t really wash on the CV. So he applied for a position as secretary of the Rugby Wine Society. The application process required a letter setting out his credentials.

Dear Mr Dhanda,
Many people have wondered why, despite being named Oliver I am referred to as Bob. The answer to this is that, for my christening I was given by some generous godparents a case of Bollinger 97 Champagne. And so my name, Olly was altered to Bolly. Bobby and Bob shortly followed but it is the Bolly that I would like to focus on!
My father is a wine enthusiast and from an early age, far before I was old enough to appreciate the subtleties of a fine wine, he encouraged me to taste and comment on the wine that he was drinking. My comments and appreciation for wine has come a long way since ten year old me would say, tongue in cheek, “yummy” and then drink a glass of water.
I believe that I would be an appropriate candidate for a Secretary of the Wine Society because I have a real enthusiasm for wine. I would love the opportunity to be able to encourage others to enjoy and relish the delicious andvarying qualities of wines. Furthermore, I am a sociable person and I understand the social aspect of drinking and tasting wines. Wine Society provides a place for people with a common interest to meet and talk and enjoy new wines. It would be an utter privilege to help organise and invite people to such events. Finally I believe I would be a good secretary because, as I am interested in wine I would be very pleased to try and find guest speakers to help improve my and other members of the Society’s knowledge of wine.
I hope that you will consider me as a future Secretary and Ithank you very much for the opportunity.
Kind Regards,
Bob/Bolly Sandison
Well obviously with that background who could deny him the job. Last night was the first meeting of the society with Bob in his new role…..a text I received this morning read:
