Summary
“Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue (and a silver sixpence in her shoe)” traditionally refers to what a bride should wear on her wedding day for good luck.

Spoiler alert: At the end, David will be talking about his beloved – and blue – alma mater.

| 0:55.3 | paradiable what with the apparently aimless concatenation of musings and |
| 1:00.9 | meanderings, plugs, plugs name drops and nostalgia all those one in two |
| 1:06.4 | sentences assertions questions cracker barrel philosophizing etc and as I |
