I don't get to race on this river, you insensitive clod!

Ok. Here's how it works. Gold is boys, blue is girls. It keeps track of who's voted to ensure there is one vote each, but other than that keeps no record whatsoever of people's choices. (Assuming there are sufficient votes, obviously, it can't even be worked out.)

Click 'Suggest new poll' at the top to find out about how that part of it works. Hopefully there'll be lots of good suggestions over the course of the year, so get posting!

If your poll isn't chosen the site remembers your suggestion but if you want it considered for the following week you need to go in and add it to the list again. (For the technically minded, the description will allow the message board formatting commands but doesn't yet.)

Voting closes once the next poll is chosen; each poll will last a week so people who log-in once a week should have the chance to contribute.

Finally, if your poll is chosen you are not anonymous. As you can see, Tom's reply has included my "nickname", for example.

Any other questions, just ask. Get voting! :-)

Members need to have saved their directory listing at least once to be able to vote...
Unhelpfully i forgot to mention this before, but it now tells you in the appropriate place if it is a problem.

Who exactly chose the 'deserve our admiration and respect' option? Surely there's been some mistake?

It shouldn't even be an option, really.

I think this is a clever ruse by Martin to find "sleeper" Maggie spies in 1st and 3rd. I assume the voting isn't really anonymous and as we speak a tactical Trin squad is hunting down the Maggie sympathisers to hang them from the boathouse flagpoles....
As the Yanks say (amongst all their other drivel), "better dead than red"

very hard one, but there is a classic answer that just pips it before the T-shirt slogan from 7 years ago....

Coached someone the other day who'd been both at oxford and at Johns. Should i suggest to him that all he has to aspire to is an unclean pair of undercrackers?

Depends on whether he'd rather row for Lady Margaret or not, I suppose :-)

"I'd rather be at Oxford than St Johns"...... and I am currently living this dream!

There was a Maggie boy (who I recognised from formal hall) getting out of a boat at our boat house yesterday. Very odd. He looked at me in my FaT splashtop, but didn't dare make the effort to come and talk to me.

I cant believe only 29 people have voted! The poll's been up for 2 days now, it's a travisty

who was he rowing for? could we accidently on purpose sink him?

He was rowing (i think) for the Oxford medics, along with an ex-Catz cox. Maybe we could negotiate sinkage with her?

oh yes i know who he is. please don't sink him next week as i am coxing. i can guarantee him even more abuse than i gave him last week about his embarrassing past and equally embarrassing Maggie rowing technique.

ps. check out those Osler boys. they're really fit (not that i'd notice, i'm only their coach :)
