..I hoped you remembered to screw your oar-gates properly. I wouldn't wish you to be publicly crucified like I was when my blade came out in the middle of Fairbairns LOL (though it really wasn't very lolable at the time...) | ||

no one to blame but ourselves  cox yelling "oh shit i dont have the bung!" isn't a good thing 6 seconds before the start though ~_~. We'll see what the next 3 days bring. >Elric haha I think in Lent bumps one of the boats had a disfunctional rudder and they were trying to fix it on the spot and caused a pretty decent delay. Also, a fucking barge came down as fucking expected | ||

I haven't even punted yet b/c it doesn't have much novelty since I'm rowing harhar  we did stop by that hole in a wall burger joint after a night out, it's on the same street as the McDonalds. Girton's so fucking far away wtf. HAHAHA Girton! But wait.. you ROW ANDD YOURE FROM GIRTON??? You crazy foo, how can you be arsed making the trip.. ... Anyway, when are you inviting me for formal hall??!? :D Punting is a little overrated... until someone slips and falls in.. but as a rower I guess Cam water is nothing new to you anyway. I swear they discover a new corpse in that river every week. Also, I think the hole in the wall thing you're talking about is Gardy's or Gardee's(?). Yeah, it's crap lol. I can't really There's this smelly tramp who cycles like a maniac around town. He always carries an empty sainsburys bag that flops about in the wind (crucial details!). BUT, before you smell him, you normally hear the sound of his shitty radio that he has somehow attached to his bike.I think it works like a wind-up radio so the faster he cycles, the more power it has, so the volume increases and so does the probability that someone is going to knock him off his bike. However, the signal is always shit so instead of hearing part of the Top 40 chart , you hear "schhschhhhch SCHSHCHHH AIS - WAA- IHI H AS SCHSDHSDHHH HSCHhhhhhhscshhhhchwhsh" as he whizzes past. | ||

Oh, no I'm @ Tit Hall, not Girton. On June 12 2008 02:06 Lemonwalrus wrote: How the fuck do you pass other boats? It looked like if two boats were side by side there would be 3 feet of space tops for both sides and the middle. It's called "bumps" for a reason . You have a crew order, and you "bump" by literally making contact with the boat ahead of you (or in certain locations, by overlapping canvas, or on the reach - part fo the river - I think a full overlap counts as a bump as well. The two crews involved in the bump pull off to the side as the rest of the division rows on. At oxford apparently you just keep passing crews if you can. Oh, I saw the Girton crew today, they all had green mowhawks with red dye on the rest of their hari lol talk about commitment! Formal hall - last booking ended | ||
