to remind you that the Boat Race is at 5.50 this afternoon?

[grovel]

Many (most) of you probably won't give a stuff but I've loved the Boat Race since childhood. There's been even less press coverage than usual this year and I only realised this morning that the race is today.

Come on, Oxford!!

I'll be watching - fairly local to us so have been down to the river on many occasions. A bit cold today so I'll be watching on the telly.

Don't mind who wins but as Maryz said I tend to support the ones with the fewest "imports"!! Always enjoy it though.

Thank you OP.

Come on Oxford!!!!

Maryz I like your rationale about who you support. Cambridge this year since they have rowers who have only learnt to row at Cambridge? That might sway me this year but I only have a slight dark blue preference

Think Cambridge's chance has gone.

Ouch! Poor Cambridge!

That must have been absolute agony for that poor bloke. The force to have pulled him actually into the water and at that angle. Jesus.

Who did win please? DH not back yet and we're watching Come Dine with Me.

Oxford by 11 lengths, Windy.

Yay Oxford won!

As we used to say back in the day, I'd rather have gone to Durham than be a Tab....

(That was a joke for the humour challenged.)

Oxford by a country mile. In part due to the Cambridge number two coaching oars and losing his seat. A bit of a non-event this year...

Damn those 93s NearThe
(Hope all is well).

93s my backside - he'll be in the Rocket . Beers cheaper than the other pubs - if he can get to the bar of course.

Oh and good - he'll be in a reasonable mood. Sorry for the light blues though.

lol!
Dh went to Cambridge, df to Oxford. Not bothered!
