| Rowing aid on BBC's Dragon's Den by Mark - Thu 30th Jul 2009, 3:48pm | |
| 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...) | |

| 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. | |

Graham: Your starter for ten... (and remember, I must have the answer on my card): "What did the cavemen say when they saw their first flying reptile?" (378 replies...) | |

| 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 22nd Jun 2008, 6:33pm | |
| 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.

| SCUBA divers cannot pass wind... by Simon - Fri 4th Jan 2008, 5:18pm | |
| 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...) | |

| 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 | |
