Honestly I try and introduce some artsy intellectual discourse to the message board and you all bring it back to rowing and/or physics. I mean I know it's the boat club message board and it's Trinity but afford me some diversity please. Matthew-you're supposed to be explaining why you weren't at Life. Wasn't it incredibly obvious?

rowing physics 101 said: Work = force x distance. I.e. pull fucking hard and don't shorten up. Although of course, before anyone else points this out, rowing is much more concerned with useful work done.

Work - what does this word mean ? Work = force x distance. I.e. pull fucking hard and don't shorten up.

bit on the defensive side said: Ahem. One hour's break to TRY and watch some quality TV in the JCR when one has spent one's entire day either working or rowing is totally acceptable. I didn't even do that in the end and was forced to return to the books by 9.30. Grump. Anyway, you WERE watching TV (you TV hogging person) and you weren't at Life so what's your excuse? I hope you weren't pretending to work. I was indeed watching TV, as were five or six others, so please don't just have a go at me :( What am I supposed to be making excuses about ? Work - what does this word mean ?

Thank you Simon for that lovely visual image. I'm sure it will stay with us all for a long time.

Bored by work said: Okay. So, 17 FaT men go to Life led by the inimitable Mr Walker, presumably many were quite well oiled. Not in the Chippendales sense of the word "oiled", one hopes.

Okay. So, 17 FaT men go to Life led by the inimitable Mr Walker, presumably many were quite well oiled. Where, may I ask, is the gossip? Honestly, I know that you're all upset that the girls didn't come with you but surely there was some carnage? Those of us who have to stay in and work need something to keep us going you know. If there really isn't any gossip then I suggest you all redeem yourselves sharpish and make some up.

Will someone explain to me how on Earth, when I did a search for all the photo files on my hard drive, these pictures of Simon Blackburn (and his Mum?) came up??? http://dw229.trin.cam.ac.uk/images/me.bmp http://dw229.trin.cam.ac.uk/images/scan0.jpg http://dw229.trin.cam.ac.uk/images/scan1.jpg Quite disturbing

Good to see the word most commonly used to link to the website in the last month (see the "Monthly statistics" page) is rowing related.

A film crew arrived in Burrell's yesterday (don't know what they're filming, but it looks amateur-ish). Find out what they're filming! And try and get yourself a part as an extra!!!

Today, they set the fire alarm off. Twice. Three times and counting...

Not a rowing story, but I found it amusing: A film crew arrived in Burrell's yesterday (don't know what they're filming, but it looks amateur-ish). They're living in my block, and are generally being annoying. In particular, they are using a smoke machine in one of the rooms in the bottom of Butler House. Today, they set the fire alarm off. Twice. The first time, everybody was gathered outside. Suddenly, one of them asked (in a genuinely suprised voice): "Was that us?!?" The second time, whilst most people were leaving the building, I noticed one of them filming the smoke alarm. He was still filming when we re-enetered a few minutes later. They also asked the porter (who was already pretty annoyed) to turn off the fire alarm for all of Butler House. He was not impressed...

Various people have tried doing web searches for "beeramid" as well.... on Google we come 2nd ;-) First and Third towers over the efforts of the fellow from the University of Virginia...

Somebody reached our website the other day by searching for the two words "lillettes wings" on Google. Very odd. Rather bizarrely this does yield a result - but only one.... Various people have tried doing web searches for "beeramid" as well.... on Google we come 2nd ;-)

Funny how they think it was this year's crash.
