Atlantic row by Pedro - Sat 15th Aug 2009, 6:48pm | |
In January 2010 I'm going to follow in Dan and Rich's 'footsteps' and row across the Atlantic. I've set up a website called One Million Strokes (it's just over 3000 miles!) at www.onemillionstrokes.org.uk , it's still a work in progress. Take a look if you have a minute. Thanks! | |
Rowing aid on BBC's Dragon's Den by Mark - Wed 29th Jul 2009, 8:42pm | |
An interesting GCSE D&T concept from a student and rower on Dragon's Den tonight: Two plastic/rubber blocks that surround the handle, one for each hand, that prevent wear to the hands and blister formation "without interfering with rowing technique". Will post a BBC iPlayer link when available. (2 replies...) | |
Seb Swings Stalin the Swan by Jij - Fri 29th May 2009, 9:29am | |
A friend of mine stumbled across this recent article here. Read carefully for the name of the assailant. It seems that's 'Sebastian P' 1-0 'Stalin' the Swan. | |

Alastair Hignell by Simon - Sun 14th Dec 2008, 10:46pm | |
Alastair Hignell was featured in Sports Personality of the Year this evening. For those who don't know, he was an excellent rugby commentator on FiveLive who retired this year. He has degenerative MS, and broadcast with it for eight years, without the illness being widely known by the general public. Anyway, they said on the show that he was the last person to captain both CUCC and CURFC. He still holds the Cambridge points record for a Varsity rugby march. He has scored a try for England and a century against the West Indies (the latter for his county side). Astonishing. PS Anyone want to write a "best radio commentator" poll? | |
Pembroke's Boat Burning by JDT - Sun 15th Jun 2008, 7:45pm | |
Okay, so whatever happened to the Pembroke boat burning? This is a tale to make us all realise how great Charles is. To re-cap, a boat burning organised by Charles goes as follows: Boat is taken to Backs; Boat is Burned; ????; Profit. How the boat burning went for Pembroke: > Boat was thrown into the river to get it to the other side by swimming along with it. > Boat then carried to Pembroke > Boat then covered in Petrol (yes, Petrol) > Boat then lit with a lighter (yes, a lighter) by the W1 cox. > Boat explodes with a bang; cox gets badly burned; rower gets injured; everyone else falls over. > PCBC Dinner is a little bit unhappy.

Dengue fever in Cambridge? by S.L. Stoneman - Sat 29th Dec 2007, 7:53pm | |
Found on Wikipedia when trying to research dengue fever. I can think of several ways to describe East Anglia but "developed, tropical nation?" Don't think so One major difference, however, is that malaria is often eradicated in major cities, whereas dengue is often found in urban areas of developed tropical nations, including Singapore, Taiwan, Brazil & East Anglia | |
SCUBA divers cannot pass wind... by Simon - Tue 23rd Oct 2007, 3:18pm | |
SCUBA divers cannot pass wind at depths of 33 feet or below Someone just told me this but I am struggling to believe it. Can anyone tell me whether it's a fact or fiction, and provide supporting evidence? If it helps, at 33feet the water pressure is equal to 1 atmosphere. (4 replies...) |
