Boot Party Bloo's...

Well the question I first off have to ask is that were the Rover parties and Boot parties better when we were in rovers, or is it just because we were in Rovers (and not oldboys)?
If I had been asked that question 5 days ago I would have replied that Rover parties are fantastic, lots of laughter, fun and for some parties nudity. There is drinking, and being stupid and endless other great things.
BUT now I have just been to a 'current Rovers' party, Im now very unsure of what my answer would be.
The party in question was the Boot party of our dear friends Jel, Gemma and Jay. While it was a good party, and lots of laughter was heard and lots of drinking and being stupid was also being done, it just didnt seem to measure up to the parties we were reminiscing about. So was it that our era's parties were better or just that we are older and have different types of parties? Hmmm one to ponder over a wine...

I will pass one comment on the activities at the party, there was a rousing game of hakey sac being played indoors...! Laughter was heard while watching , and people were holding drinks, not sure what kind of liquid though. I know they were having fun, but outside (yes just out the doors) was a steaming, bubbling hot spa - completely empty!!!
Perhaps there was a large amount of prize money being awarded to someone when they won the game of hakey sac(?), or maybe they just missed seeing the spa on their way in?
Or maybe Im older then I really feel!!


PS. We did have a great time though, us old boys ( and a few current older rovers) happily chatted outside while watching other old boys in the spa!!
Oh yes and the two children at the boot, slept in their prams pretty much the whole night!
