| The Lent Bumps begin this week - no doubt with the usual overload of thrills and spills... Message posts from members' mobiles will appear below - so it is one of the places to keep an eye on for up-to-the-minute information from the river. | ||

| Formatting There isn't any formatting option because there is on preview - so you wouldn't catch errors. Seems to be working then | ||

| Men's division 4 4th boat crashed off the start, but pulled away well. A host of fines below! EM, St Eds and Mag may rerow. | ||

| Women's division 3 Bright but breezy conditions saw Catz blown onto bank at start. Good racing elsewhere,class overbump at bottom. | ||

| Men's division 3 Complete chaos mid division. Cla and Gir caught in it - tech RO. 4th boat mowed down hh. Hom and Ftz rerow. | ||

Martin said: Men's division 3 Also well done to 3rd VIII for bumping Sidney II. Results coming in pretty much simultaneously on CUR1350 and 1+3 website :-) | ||

| by Mike - Tue 25th Feb 2003, 4:02pm | ||
Mike said the wrong thing... Sorry - that's obviously Selwyn II, not Sidney II. D'oh! | ||

| Hmmm, still no sign of M2 - can we have text messages with updates when there are delays (as this is what I guess has happened here)? | ||

| Men's division 2 An awesome row from 2nd boat say them hold off fast PET till railings. CCAT rower ended up in the river. | ||

Simon said: Hmmm, still no sign of M2 - can we have text messages with updates when there are delays (as this is what I guess has happened here)? Hear, hear (or rather - I can't hear, as the CUR online feed is strugggling; neither can I see any results anywhere)... | ||

Simon said: Hmmm, still no sign of M2 From CUR1350: (But possibly take it with pinch of salt, as he didn't yet have places 15-18)Emma II bpd Christ's II. Peterhouse bpd 1st+3rd II. LMBC II bpd Downing II. Queens' bpd Fitz. Lower down it appears Emma II and Christ's II failed to clear, so CCAT probably have technical rowover. | ||

Mike said: From CUR1350: (But possibly take it with pinch of salt, as he didn't yet have places 15-18) So - barring the dream scenario of bumping back, it's a day's rest, then holding off King's, with an always-satisfying bump on Downing II to follow on Friday?Emma II bpd Christ's II. Peterhouse bpd 1st+3rd II. LMBC II bpd Downing II. Queens' bpd Fitz. Lower down it appears Emma II and Christ's II failed to clear, so CCAT probably have technical rowover. | ||

Martin said: CCAT rower ended up in the river. Martin would be perfect as the person who writes the fly sheets for the Evening Standard - giving just enough information to make you want to know more (i.e. to buy the newspaper), but not enough to tell you any details at all: e.g. "Bank rate decision" instead of "Interest Rates Cut". Or in this case "CCAT rower ended up in the river" when it's probably something like he slipped on the towpath... | ||

Dubya said: It seems to take him about 35 minutes to sort it out on average... that's not bad. Extra text messages cost money -- 24p a shot! When there is lots of carnage they take ages to decide what bumps will be awarded - which causes the delay. Things were running a bit behind because of the disputes too.If they were significantly behind I would send an update. | ||

Simon said: ... just enough information to make you want to know more but not enough to tell you any details at all Yes this is a problem. I will try to avoid a repeat performance. Any other suggestions welcome.:-) | ||

Martin said: Yes this is a problem. I will try to avoid a repeat performance. No, it's not a problem at all... it makes you keen to know more, which is how it should be. So how did CCAT rower end up in the river? | ||

So how did CCAT rower end up in the river? That was the point - I had no idea ;-) | ||

dw said: Any further info anyone? Quarter of a length off Maggie coming into Ditton when crab at four effectively ended the race. They had a go at getting back at Maggie but the distance was too great. Emma closed to within a length but never looked like getting any closer. Roll on tomorrow.Of course, if you'd listened to CUR1350, you'd have heard all that long ago... | ||

Sidney II tomorrow for blades...3rd VIII unlucky to have driftwood two in front, so Pembroke II tomorrow for the up 3. The curse of the Sherrington strikes the 3rd VIII yet again... | ||

| An exhausting week, even for those who weren't rowing ;-) Well done to the 1st VIII who, although not quite fast enough, did us proud. And to the women for going up - that was great to watch too. As something of a conclusion to the successful 'mobile update' thing, the technically minded may be interested to hear that in the 5 days we had 100000 pages requested from the site, 10000 views of the Lents results page and 1200 WAP pages. Number of people who used it is all is difficult to guess, but probably around 3300. | ||
