Lents m1 video by Martin - Mon 4th Mar 2002, 6:52pm
Ok, so I'm bored. The CUCBC message boards have links to videos of Saturday's racing - and in particular m1 around Ditton. Did an estimate of the ratings of the various crews coming around the corner - spot the highest ;-) Caius 36.5 LMBC 34 Emma 35 1 & 3 37.5 Christs 34.5 Downing 35 Jesus 34 Tit Hall 33.5 Robinson 34 Catz 33.5 (2 replies...)

Kit by Tomos - Sun 3rd Mar 2002, 5:55pm
Does anyone have a 1st & 3rd splash top that they don't wear any more (eg. because they have a Black Prince one or something), they they'd be willing to sell? I'm not too concerned about getting a pristine new one, just something to keep the mud off if I do any more umpiring. I know this is a cheeky request, but it was extremely successful in getting me a zephyr top last term, and at least I'm not abusing the email list this time... (11 replies...)

Quotes page needs trimming by Dubya - Fri 22nd Feb 2002, 9:01am
The quotes board is for "classic" quotes, but it has a lot of rubbish on it at the moment. I think we should have a second, moderated, quotes page, which contains only the most classic quotes, ie ones which have more than passing significance. e.g., "pick it up for the last kilometre", or "bench-press to victory", or "Stroke five, full square, ready go", or "I am so smooth" (3 replies...)

Skimmed Milk by Simon - Mon 11th Feb 2002, 12:11pm
Skimmed milk is just water with white colouring. Does anyone actually like it? And if not, why do members of the club keep buying it when visitng SW15? (2 replies...)

The Justice by the webmaster - Tue 5th Feb 2002, 2:40pm
Mr Glass, Mr Talbott and I have almost finished the minutes from December's Justice meeting; publication is imminent. However, I've been vaguely rooting around for various other bits of Justice info to publish at the same time; e.g. I have got emails sent during its creation and minutes from the 1st meeting etc. I even found the proposed logo. Am I right in thinking there have been 3 meetings? If so, were there ever any minutes or a record of the 2nd one, in December 2000? If anyone finds such things loitering in their inbox, I would like to include them. Although I was absent, I gather that Fisher, G. and Ingram, G. were the Law Lords.... (4 replies...)

Locker Allocation by Kernigit - Thu 31st Jan 2002, 7:01pm
John has sent an email out suggesting a policy for locker allocation in which he asks for comments. My opinion on the matter is that lockers should be given to those people who spend most time at the boat club not on some random lottery. After all the people who spend most time at the boat house will need to keep more stuff at the boat house (e.g. kit, towels, water bottles, maxim, training logs....). The easiest way that I can see to do this is to look at the speed / ability of oarspeople, although another argument would be to measure improvement. Another point that should be made is that if people who are heavy users of the boat house are to be deprived of lockers it might be an idea to be more tolerant to kit / other belongings which is left in the changing rooms - i.e. they can't be thrown away at the first possible opportunity! What does everyone else think? (3 replies...)

Trivia by pub quiz, hotshot - Wed 30th Jan 2002, 9:36am
Last night a small deposition from BPBC took part in a pub quiz in Borough. See how you fare on the end-of-quiz accumulator... 1) What does STOL stand for? 2) What is the collective noun for rhinoceroses? 3) Of what is St Clare the patron saint? 4) What is the derivation of the word "posh"? 5) What does VTOL stand for?

The Committee by RTT - Mon 14th Jan 2002, 4:25pm
Having read the forthcoming events info, I am amazed to discover that our Committee is organising nearly everything in the rowing world. Who would have thought that 1+3 ran the Head of the Nene? Or the Pembroke Regatta? Interestingly Guy appears to be kicking up his heels and leaving Simon Blackburn to organise the GoR again this year. What I want to know is, how do they manage? No wonder JW always seems to be awake into the small hours before early morning training! Also, are they organising Henley this year, and if so a) Will 1st Trinity get pre-qualified for the Grand as is traditional? b) Can I get a Stewards pass? (8 replies...)

Snow by Simon - Wed 26th Dec 2001, 4:06pm
Oh wow, it's snowing on the front page of the website (tables view). How cool. Gawd bless you Tiny Tim, etc. OK, the BBC1 trails at the moment feature some toys - a dinosaur, a car, and a white dog with black ears. The dino represents "The Lost World" (Christmas Day, BBC1), the car is a Robin Relliant from "Only Fools and Horses" (Christmas Day, BBC1) and the fact that they are toys represents "Toy Story" (Christmas Day, BBC1). So what's the white dog with black ears from? Or is it just a white dog with black ears?

Music by The opinion of the entire Baltimore school board - Fri 21st Dec 2001, 12:35pm
I note that Jesus' website ** includes a useful .mp3 file of 80 x 30-second snippets of music, loosely suitable for circuits (ranging from Gorillaz to Duran Duran and the "twisty Levis" ad to Bwitched). Anyone able to equip the FaT site with somethjing similar, but more musically credible. It would be good desk-listening music for bored employees and also useful for next Term's FaT circuits. Anyone got any ideas of how we'd replay it in the BH? * that's the Cambridge College, not the spiritual icon. Although, if it were the laatter, it WOULD add succour to the claim that "God is a DJ".
