Fresher's Bop Themes

Anyone else know their theme for the first bop? I was banking on a 'Back to school' but BNC have gone for 'Golf Pros and Tennis 'Hos'...

Does anyone actually dress up for these, or is the theme nominal?

I think Mansfield's first one is going to be "Kings and Queens".

Most people come dressed up, but most interpret the theme with varied scrutiny and crassness.

Teddy Hall's theme is 'Golf Pros and Tennis Hos' as well. I had a devil of a time tracking down green fishnet tights, I can tell you...

It's probably a joint bop. Brasenose/Teddy Hall had one last year.

Generally I find it's the girls that bother getting dressed up and the guys don't bother. I hope we have a good bop theme when we go back!

Our first is the Circus Bop- "Bring your whips" it says. These bops sound so cheesey.

Same for Merton. I'm thinking PVC catsuit and whip: Lucy Liu in Charlie's Angels? :wink:

or Magdalen's?

I thought that Magd was having a joint bop with Teddy Hall and St. Hilda's, but if Brasenose and Teddy Hall are joint, then I just don't know what to think!

Just don't let us be stuck with St. Hilda's on our own! :biggrin:

It says Toga bop on my Univ Fresher's week timetable. So I'd guess there's an ancient Rome theme...

hmm, haven't had any joint bops in my 2 years. so would be quite a drastic change of entz direction.. :confused:

bops are normally just in the bar. or if whole venues (jongleurs/freuds) for christmas parties they're whole college rather than being joint JCR ventures.

we are isolated/superior/snobbish/rah remember..! :ridinghor

I think this is a special thing just for freshers - and, I suppose, there wouldn't be enough freshers (at least, those inclined to go to a bop) to fill up the JCR bar (I haven't seen it - perhaps it's tiny-small) so we're supposedly going off to Teddy Hall.

I'm not too much of a "bop" person anyway, didn't usually bother to dress up for school events... don't know if I'd dress up if I knew the theme anyway.

PS: the horse-riding smiley is cool. Word up.
