Weird happening of the day

[chrisvenus]

So today I have a letter on my desk that I picked up from the doormat at home before going to work (yesterday in fact). Its stamped on the front and is from the Keble College Development Office. I assume its an invite to some college event or other. I just got around to opening it and inside I find a card (picture of part of keble on the front). oh, strange kind of informal invitation to an event rather than the usual big letter and form.

So I open it and inside it says:

Christopher.

Belated birthday greetings from us all we [something] that you celebrated in style!

[four signatures]

Its just really weird. Why are they sending me a birthday card? Surely they don't do that to everybody do they (err... do I have any more than one Keblite reading this?)

Its just kind of knocked me for six. Maybet hey are buttering me up to hit me for cash soon...


Edit: for those interested in deciphering the card I've used the wonders of camera phones and internets to make available the text of the card: http://the.earth.li/~chris/temp/WholeCard.png

I agree, it is blatantly trust. Heh, the first time I typed that it came out "tryst", so maybe it isn't as blatant as I thought.

Its the r that did it for me by not looking like any r I've seen before...

I originally guessed "hear", but after reading the comments here I'm definitely going with "trust". Is it likely that they heard that you celebrated in style though? ;)

(and for what it's worth, if I saw the word isolated as a captcha, I'd guess "favor", but that doesn't make much sense in context and I'd hope an Oxford college wouldn't use American spellings...)

I think in that scenario I'd vote "toast".

Now it's looking like 'tarot' to me. Maybe the cards told them Chris would give them money if they were nice to him?
