Google Ranking by dw229 - Wed 7th Apr 2004, 12:11pm | |
It have recently noticed that typing my full name into Google yields my rower profile as the number one result! Fame at last, amongst all the Daniel Walkers in all the world... Anyway, is this a general FaT phenomenon and what's changed, other than this site's immense popularity... (19 replies...) | |

Celeb Boat Race by Simon - Wed 25th Feb 2004, 5:01pm | |
Oxford won the celeb boat race on the Tideway this afternoon. The crews clashed around Fulham football ground and the race was halted for a restart. Oxford seemed to be coping better with fairly splashy Tideway conditions and moved away to about a length and a half lead by the finish at Hammersmith Bridge. (2 replies...) | |

Ode to Chris Pedder Thou that hast more experience in steering a boat than God has in guiding the stars, we beg thee, we plead with thee, descend! once more amongst the ranks of mortals to cox us. In this our darkest hour when all have failed us, it is but the halo of your glory that may lead us to the end of the tunnel.

LARD by Remigo Ergo Edo - Wed 19th Nov 2003, 5:12pm | |
The Mich Term Lard Competition is starting to get quite interesting now. With just over two weeks left before the end of term it's anyone's guess as to who will actually walk away with the trophy. This term there will hopefully be quite a few sub-categories, each of which is elegible for a prize of some kind: Lard King, Lard Queen, Lardiest Cox, Novice Lard King, and Novice Lard Queen, plus anything else I decide to give a prize for. To be elegible for a prize, all you have to do is keep eating lard and make sure you attend the end-of-term dinner. For those of you to whom this all seems a bit strange, this is how it works : Each item you buy from the Lard Cupboard in the Boathouse has a LARD rating which is related in some way to its fat content, so if you're trying to catch up, it's time to ditch the Bottled Water and start eating Flapjacks instead. :-)) The top fives (alphabetically) for the five categories as of last week are: Men : Byrne, Davies, Holland, Ingram, Mycroft. Women : Dennis, Hadrill-Barratt, Lee(Jenny), Russell, Sampson. Coxes : Francis, Minch Dixon, Nanayakkara, Powell, Wolf. Novice Men : Dewbery, Hill, Nicholson, Taylor(Chris), Wong. Novice Women : Gutteridge, Michlig, Munro, Schaefer, Standley. (27 replies...) | |

Missing Words by RTT - Fri 17th Oct 2003, 12:32pm | |
Given that HIGNFY is starting again tonight, I thought we could have our own round on the website. So, suggestions please for what might be hidden under the stars: Another must have *************************, just so he can whip it out in meetings. Oh and I guess our guest publication ought to be that unmissable monthly magazine known as Regatta (though this is not from said magazine). (3 replies...) | |
Mich 03 Lard Discussion by JT - Mon 13th Oct 2003, 9:05am | |
After a bit of moaning from the Women's IV this morning, I have decided to revive the Lard message thread(s). Any comments, suggestions, etc. are welcome, but be warned that I may not ncessarily take any notice of what you write. To forestall one potential whinge, I intend to soon put up a prices list.

Coxing standard by Dubya - Mon 6th Oct 2003, 11:13am | |
The email about starting up soc-rowing-coxes again mentions people making requests for coxes to sub into outings should state what "standard" of cox they require. It occurs to me that there is currently no way to quantify this apart from the very inadequate "first boat", "second boat", "third boat" etc which mean different and often random things from college to college and from year to year. I wonder if we could set up a coxing standards group. We'd get a bunch of reasonable coxes together and make up a coxing standard test for a bunch of classes. I'm thinking along these lines. Class I. New coxes. Test for this class should require demonstration of COMPLETE knowledge of relevant rules of the river. Class II. Skilled lower boats cox. Test for this class should require demonstrated ability to steer safely and communicate with other river users (eg observe an outing). Maybe a written or practical test on basic rowing technique from cox's perspective. Class III. Skilled college cox. Test for this class should require demonstrated ability to cox safely in racing conditions including some bumps experience, plus requirements for previous classes. Class IV. University level. Should be granted automatically to coxes who get university colors, (upon demonstration of Class II knowledge on the Cam ;). But should also be available to college coxes with substantial off-Cam racing, and pass a test involving coxing a crew of some reasonable standard and getting a pass from that crew. (tbd) Class V. Really good people. (8 replies...) |
