Well, I suppose they had to big up their ego somehow...especially with next Summer's Ashes coming along :)
Why is it we don't see anything reciprocal in the British press? Could it be we just don't give a shit about them?! (1 comment...) | |

| Athens 2004 Rowing Media Guide | |
|
| A must for rowing Stattos everywhere. The media guide for the Olympic Rowing Regatta contains all the info you could wish for on past medal winners and future prospects, the schedule, the venue and the finer points of the rules. It also includes a guide on how to row and a glossary of rowing terms. Nice to see that even for an Olympic Regatta they feel the need for a definition for "crab"... (14 comments...) | |

| BBC to axe Boat Race coverage | |

| The BBC is going to stop televising the boat race after this year. Clearly this is going to mean a lot less sponsorship money, and probably a resulting drop in standard. Is this going to be good / bad for Cambridge rowing? Discuss :) (3 comments...) | |

A few disclaimers.....
* rawd2 sent me this link - I didn't find it myself.
* Of the 38 wrong answers I gave, 36 were after a 5-pint liquid lunch, so I can kid myself than I'm not such a dolt after all.
* Many of the answers rely on making very American-centric assumptions; a few rely on pedantically precise interpretation of the wording; quite a lot rely on pretty loose interpretation of the wording.
* Every answer could be looked up and there's no time-out (that I found - I did leave it over lunch, after all), so you could just look stuff up and get 100% but that would be pretty sad.
* Nonetheless, it's good fun. (16 comments...) | |

a) The poll is back. Website veterans will remember well the 2001 poll - I think it's been fixed since then but it's still vital to keep Cambridge above 50%.
b) You used to be able to change the logo in the top corner so you could have it light blue... can you still do this? I can't see how... | |

what is rowing? rowing is fun. rowing is the best sport on the planet.
what is first and third? first and third is absolutely free. first and third is a tall order but we're more than capable of doing it. first and third is particularly well suited to popular styles where there is usually a bass drum hit on the first beat.
who is martin peck? martin peck is pissed.
who is graham fisher? graham fisher is working up to twenty years experience and is a certified canoe.
who is john earl? john earl is a bit of a pratt. john earl is out on bail this morning. john earl is now deceased. (41 comments...) | |
