Well done W1 - you are beyond great. This is so amazine and you overbumped the green monsters.

Churchill yesterday, Girton today, absolutely brilliant.
Thanks Anna!

We were beyond happy... we have avenged the crews bumped by Churchill and overbumped by Girton, and last year's Lent VIII by finishing two ahead of Pembroke.

Happy happy happy. I love bumps!

oh yeah, and is someone going to explain the first womens kit? looks vile on the photos... I must be getting old...
As Erica so truthfully explained, it's a lot of voodoo, really. A bit of arrogance mixed in with understatement to achieve the renowned FaT subtlety- I mean, who IS going to take a crew seriously that looks like the Cheshire Cat?

Also, the kit order didnt come through in time, nor did our plans for crew tops.

jpd said: Is this the first time that the mean position of our men's and women's top boats has been higher than that of LMBC?
No. At the end of day 2 in 1999, our men were head and the women had just rowed over in 9th place, one place behind LMBC. LMBC M1 had just been bumped down to 3rd by Caius, so we were ahead on mean position. If you are only counting positions at the end of the week's racing, I don't know.

Good luck in the WeHORR, hopefully the women will hit Newnham, and we'll get Caius and all will be well :-)

Andy - sadly not coming up tomorrow as am rowing in WeHoRR and suspect it may kill me either through exhaustion or cold. I shall be there in spirit though - vodka preferably.

sarah said: does the definition of uberblades allow for any sort of 'gaining more than 4 places in 4 bumps'?
That's been possible ever since bumps was introduced. I think Chris's definition of uber-blades was only meant to include five bumps on five different days. Any up 'more than 4' would need a different name; perhaps fat-blades?

Vile? How dare you?! *We* think we look proper sexy in it!

It's specially imported from New Zealand, designed expressly to blind and daze/confuse any opposition. Clearly it works a treat...

(the only crew still in with a shout of uber-blades)
does the definition of uberblades allow for any sort of 'gaining more than 4 places in 4 bumps'? (ie if W1 manage to bump newnham tomorrow they'll have gone up 6?) what's that, a megablade?

I know, it's fantastic, innit. Are you going to come down to Cambridge tomorrow Anna?

Bored said: has any crew ever managed an "uber-blade" by bumping on 5 consecutive days
Watch out for Caius W2 tomorrow. They have bumped on all four days so far (the only crew still in with a shout of uber-blades) and chase Catz W2 tomorrow (who failed to bump Wolfson W1 today). Pretty good chances there, unless Wolfson and Catz conspire to mess it up.

Look at the first women, Lent term 2002. And while you're at it, Thursday of Lent term 2001.

Anna Mc said: Well done W1 for bumping Churchill. I'm guessing that was a particularly sweet bump.

Or the double overbump (on LMBC ...)
