Never.

It was always blue-and-yellow.

However, some denizens of the Prameheyar Cowntay like to refer to it as 'gold' and I adopted that term out of deference to them.

Jays, you obviously missed out on the Good Manners 101 course, so, while you were there.

It's on every second Tuesday in the Business Studies building.

Also, you could've done with the one on 'Avoiding Mycogynistic Comments About Women' as well.

Maybe there might be something suitable for you in the Mechanics' Institute some night.
