If we named one novice boat after a cat, we should name another...

... after some buns?

Note for out of touch bufties: Ricardo is Titan's ?brother, now resident in College. Equally fat by all accounts.

Re-name the cat with something sensible - isn't Ricardo that annoying tw*t from some reality show - then name the boat after the cat.

As regards naming - am I right in thinking we're quite a way behind with the official ceremonies? I don't think we've done Michael Longford or Amartya Sen yet. Are we going to try and get them all done at once? If so I think we should buy a new single so that we can name a boat for each integer power of two between zero and three inclusive, all in one event.

Yes, we are quite behind. We also need to find names for the new 4- (suggestions so far include Mary Gwynneth II, Peterborough Rowing Lake & HRH Camilla Parker-Bowles). And then we have the coastal IV...

Get thinking and give me some ideas...

Not as shocking as some of the other suggestions!
