The Boat Race

[Lady Gull]

What a knob - I'd have given him a sharp whack on the head with the oar xxx

 

[Leekbrookgull]

Should have kept going,those other boat's could have picked him up.

 

[Lady Gull]

He just popped up like a seal out of the water didn't he?

 

[ForestRowSeagull]

I missed it, what happened ? Was he a swimmer or some activist deliberately causing a scene ?

 

[skipper734]

To do what they are attempting to do would be hard enough for two boats with engines and twin props.

 

[Everest]

Restarted, and Oxford have broken an oar

 

[del strangefish]

Fish Sympathiser !

 

[Leekbrookgull]

Oxford have been close to Cambridge a few times in the race so that clash was no surprise.

 

[Lady Gull]

Oxford should stop rowing - race not finished

 

[Everest]

Oxford should stop rowing - race not finished

But Cambridge would still win, cos they DID finish

 

[Lady Gull]

But Cambridge would still win, cos they DID finish

They have won by default though

 

[Everest]

Oxford's own fault. They'd been warned a few times to move away from Cambridge.

 

[Lady Gull]

I wouldn't want to win like that -

Guy collapsed on the boat now

 

[skipper734]

Man down!

 

[Boys 9d]

Well they did have a woman driver.

I'll get my coat.

 

[Ali_rrr]

What's happened to him?

 

[T soprano]

What drama , broken oar , man in water now man collapsed what next

 

[Lady Gull]

Exhausted I would think - he just laid down at the back of the boat!

 

[skipper734]

Umpire did a good job and 100% correct from first start to finish, IMO.

 

[Smithy]

Bit of a farce overall.
