Mich Term Bop Requests by Optimistic - Wed 11th Dec 2002, 6:59pm
Just thought I'd get in early Iain. Can we have "Move in a little closer baby" by Mama Cass? Listen to it. It's not as slow as the title sounds. (48 replies...)

Site visitors by mcp - Wed 11th Dec 2002, 5:42pm
Tom the other day remarked on the very large number of people visiting our site via Google web searches. The monthly stats reports around 800 hits in the last month alone. Out of interest I have looked at the log files for the record of what these people have been searching for - here is the list since 1 am on the 8th (hits from google.com or google.co.uk, not including google images or google groups): rowing photography members incest katie friedman national watersport centre nottingham caius boat club jet photographic ben coates info website winter 1280 x 1024 dinner playlist autumn 1024 graham fisher peterborough chris pidcock andrew fisher trinity college fairbairns st johns rich dewire black prince trinity college coleman accomodation jet photographic may bumps firstandthird jet photo cambridge j cazorla college crews navin dasigi comedy rowing jet photographic kamil szczegot cambridge rowing triathlon parties photos college a lee captain trinity motorway disasters head of the river rowing races hammersmith rowing head of the river disasters mpeg cambridge winter head photos 2002 nail biting photos women's henley black prince boatclub sexy parties photos rowing coach job description flash splash 1600 1200 hung balls kamil szczegot beeramid floods october 2001 fairbairns results cambridge cambridge winter head photos women's twat j2o fruit drink fairbains photos old etonian club fairbairns regatta results 2002 msi ms-6378 atx jet photographic rowing equipment rigger jigger HRM a brief history first and third trinity boat club coxing calls fashion socks henry adams rowing bufty rebecca beale rowing training first and third tbc fairbairn cup rowing photos 2002 first and third trinity alex barrett cambridge (3 replies...)

Cox needed by Simon - Tue 9th Jul 2002, 1:57pm
If any coxes reading this are in London on Thursday night and fancy taking out a WS4 4+ for a practice, then please get in touch. Tideway experience useful but not essential.

A Plea by A Beggar - Mon 1st Jul 2002, 11:34am
Has anyone got lower boats zephyrs that I and possibly a couple of other members of the 4th VIII borrow for the bumps....? I/we'd be much obliged! (11 replies...)

Best Computer Games of all time by Chris - Tue 18th Jun 2002, 4:23pm
Seeing the excitement being caused by various computer games being posted has reminded me of a thought I was having the other day as to the best computer games of all time. I invite everyone to submit their favourite 5 computer games (in order) of all time. (19 replies...)

What are people doing on Suicide Sunday this year?

Elections by Anna - Wed 15th May 2002, 10:01pm
Come on people. We need more candidates standing for the posts on the committee. I can understand that you're all intimidated by the fantastic job this year's committee have done. I know it'll be hard to live up to the standards we have set with our wit, charm, grace, organisational brilliance and general greatness but I think there are people out there who could possibly take over the mantle and even (sharp intake of breath) do as well as we have. I know it's exam term and no-one wants to get into a serious long term relationship now but the committee is a loving partner, it's there for you when you're down, it revels in you successes and when you get carried away and mess up, it helps you get over this and move on to better things. The more cynical among you can even put it on your CV to make you look good (though I think using partners like that is disgraceful). Go on, you know you want to. Everyone needs someone to love. For more info contact me (Anna) on am407. (3 replies...)

The 3rd VIII need nicknames........ by Cox wannabe, and Chief T-Shirt Buyer - Tue 5th Mar 2002, 1:41pm
Fellow boaties, the 3rd VIII require some amusing nicknames for their forthcoming T-shirts. If you would like to add any and all of your suggestions here, they will be considered in due course for suitability. (6 replies...)

Lents m1 video by Martin - Tue 5th Mar 2002, 10:43am
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 - Mon 4th Mar 2002, 3:30pm
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, 12:53pm
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 - Tue 12th Feb 2002, 10:44am
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 - Wed 6th Feb 2002, 6:33pm
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 - Fri 1st Feb 2002, 11:39am
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...)

Music by The opinion of the entire Baltimore school board - Sat 29th Dec 2001, 4:43pm
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".

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?

1st & 3rd vs BPBC by FAT BOY - Sat 1st Dec 2001, 12:05pm
Black Prince Boat Club - comprising FaT old boys, have 2 VIIIs entered in Fairbairns. I have two prizes up for grabs! I'll award a bottle of wine (no promises regarding quality but it won't be the cheapest I can find) to the person who most closely predicts the time deficit of BPBC I to the FaT 1st VIII over the Fairbairns course. Secondly (this is more difficult), another bottle of wine (cheaper!) to the person who most closely predicts the difference between the two clubs of the combined 1st and 2nd VIII times. My conditions are that the BPBC crew lists are declared (could someone enlighten us? Our 2nd VIII crew list will be on-line as soon as it is decided), and it would be useful to have some idea of what equipment you will be using.... Everyone's final prediction made between now and exactly 2 hours before the 1st race will be considered! (33 replies...)

BPBC vs Gonville by Dubya - Mon 26th Nov 2001, 7:17pm
Aside from the predicted quickness of Boar's Head, BPBC has another rival -- a club that beat them on Tideway last March. Gonville BC. A pint to whoever predicts the time difference between Gonville BC and BPBC I most accurately.
