I spent many a Summer seeking to find the secrets and levels of depravity that exist within the OFDC disguised as 'Businessman'. Now that I'm reaching an age where I can join these decrepit old gits, a change of name makes sense. If only while I can still remember the real one.

How old do you have to be to join the OFDC?

I believe you have to be well into your eighties but us youngsters in our late 50's hang around purely to disrupt

Well really!, we cant' discuss our age secrets with outsiders......suffice to say that if you look old you would be more than welcome to come along to one of our gatherings to see if you have the necessary qualities 'to be one of us".....we will be the judge of that of course - and there is no right of appeal.
The gift of sublime ignorance is a state of mind which is about as near to utopia as anyone is likely to get - hence the clamour to be accepted into this very very secret society........
We'll have a look at you businessman/francis - francis? do you swing the other way per chance?....if so you can sit next to Lodie......

....I certainly do swing both ways especially when one does the twist. I say that confidently as school party twist winner (an orange I recall) circa 1967. What happened to Chubby. For that matter what happened to Christine my twist partner. Strung me along for a few weeks and then went off to stage school. Well.....thats where she told me she was going. Probably went down the road to that Tom fellow with acne.

"How old do you have to be to join the OFDC? "
Do you mean your real age or your mental age? In any case it does not really matter.
Some of our members are quite young, relatively speaking, but they either have a mental age of nine (always shouting and wanting their own way) or 80+ (no idea what is going on or whose turn it is to buy the coffee). Others are old but quite sharp mentally (disappearing when it is time to pay for anything, chatting up female stewards and waitresses, etc). Chatting up males is only allowed if you live outside Oxfordshire.
BTW one of the main criteria for being accepted as a member is a complete lack of knowledge about football

Forget the club having a Latin motto , how about the OFDC having one instead. What's Latin for
'Life support machine, we salute you. is there custard for lunch?'?

As I told Bob s in a pm I have plans to get a few select threads from the old TiU site copied onto my pc before the site goes down. Well I've got all the OFDC thread now and am currently working on the Stupid Jokes thread and the Wembley match thread. Does anybody have any suggestions for other threads that could be saved for prosperity? Please remember that I only have 2 days now and that, despite what some of you may think, I also have a life away from the keyboard, so lets go for quality and not quantity. Please reply with a link if possible to save time searching.

Well its nice to see prb (not that one surely) and Kelp Bed Ed popping up on our thread.....hope you might be regular visitors too - we're desparate at times!
Hi Malcolm....trust all is well in Holland - let us know when your coming over for a match - you can be my guest at a OFDC luncheon....promise we wont' sit you between Francis and Lodie - unless you want to of course!.
The breakfast section duly dined yesterday in the City centre at 9.30am....it did go on for something approaching two hours - dont' think football was mentioned - well it might have been, I dunno......in fact damned if I know what we did speak about - suffice to say we entered into that wonderfully happy, non stressed zone of sublime ignorance on just about anything. If you know what I mean.

So, Mr5Co has found this site. I told you moving without telling him would only give us a temporary reprieve. He is a letting agent you know. However, it was worth a try.
Now we can expect to be really insulted unless something in the Management section upsets him instead.

With all these enquiries about real and mental age requirements to be an Old Fart can I assume that any existing member will be totally exempt from any new guidelines?
Quickly looking at some of the postings, if we are not carful, before we know where we are we will be having grown up, real life intellectuals wanting to join.
Just remember John G – don’t be too chummy with these new chaps until we know the cut of their jib. Please let none of us forget some of the close shaves dear Bobby S has got us into with those Swindon Town Old Farts at Forest Green. Most of didn’t see the action in the posh seats because someone pulled the plug and all the lights went out until Bobby had finished boring them with another rendition of his Brian Clough story.
As Lodie now holds high OxVox office (albeit completely unelected and without portfolio) I think we need to form a new membership sub-committee. With this flood of possible new boys, if we play our cards right none of us will need to buy the coffees until we return to the Championship! Oh joy, I can hear certain members cheer (we have a list of names!).
Talking about high office has anyone also noticed that Oldman now frequents The Royal Box / director’s box since we returned to the Football League. Do we really need to encourage bloody glory hunters like him? I don’t ever remember seeing him on a tuesday night at Elm Park in the seventies or eighties.
Finally, Yellowj – please remember that VAT 69 ¾ and I are OIC Transport so we don’t want any of your ‘do you want to join me for a bus ride’ antics, thank you very much.

Mr 5Co's, will you be buying the chips for all of the members of OFDC this season?
The reason I ask is that everytime I see you, you are gorging yourself on huge bucketfuls of chips.
