After how much rowing would you have classified yourself a boatie rather than just a rower?

Are you in a boatie relationship? Do you spend more than two hours a day at the boathouse? Have you ever worn lycra for anything except rowing? Are more than fifty percent of your friends rowers? Do you arrive (late) at lectures in your splashtop? Come to think of it, do you miss most of your lectures/supervisions because you're still at the boathouse? If the answer to more than two of these questions is yes, you are a boatie. But how long did it take for this addiction to creep up on you?

I was a boatie before I arrived at Trinity		6%

They got me at the Chaplains Squash and it's been downhill ever since		26%

As soon as I'd been tubbing		2%

By midway through my novice term		30%

After I'd done Clare Novices		0%

After novice Fairbairns		2%

Once I'd experienced my first Bumps		21%

Once I'd experienced Bumps, in the warm sunshine, with Pimms afterwards		4%

Me, a boatie?! I don't think so!		9%
