Congratulations, O venerable ancient one. Will you be trialling for the fours as well ?

Regular website visitors may be interested/astonished/horrified to learn that I submitted a thesis yesterday. All being well, my time at college looks set to end, just short of 10 years after first setting foot in the place! And yes, I hope I might trial for the Fairbairn VIII...

The elastic object with two white bits on goes around your neck. The tie does too. And the hood does too...errr. Hmmm.

I've just picked up my three mystery items from Ryder and Amies. One of them seems to be a bow-tie, another I think is a hood, though it must be for people with very pointy heads and I've no idea which way up it goes. The other thing could be a garter for a leg of large girth. Or maybe not. Does anybody have any instructions on what to do with these things?

errant webmaster said: ...I guess he would be happy to hear any corrections... Neil? Yes indeed. I definitely faced two balls, and made an excellent connection with the first before being tremendously unlucky to fall to the second - clearly some ball tampering methinks.

Dan, I apologise. The scorecard was incomplete and I could not remember whether it was you or Sarah that had been run out. I will amend this in the final version. Congratulations also on the champagne moment. (Any other comments or corrections welcome; match report on its way.)

Not out I say said: Right. Who was scoring at the cricket and who typed in the score card? I believe the score card isn't quite finished - I'm not sure Neil intended that it be online yet, so some mistakes are thereby my fault. That said, I guess he would be happy to hear any corrections... Neil?

Right. Who was scoring at the cricket and who typed in the score card? Very disappointed to see that my innings now ends with "run out" - I was standing by the other stumps when the ball was thrown in.

mjb said: In 1999, FaT II were immediately behind Catz I. Indeed. We had two row-overs behind Catz 1 on the Friday and Saturday evenings. On Friday, we didn't row particularly well and rowed over on station. On the Saturday, the crew was effectively down to 7 rowers from before Ditton as I was suffering from food poisoning which I'd picked up from Bella Pasta the night before. Despite this, we still rowed over on station with Catz. Of all the "What if..."s that suround bumps, this one - "What if I'd been healthy?" is the one that still hurts the most. So yes, it is the 1999 2nd VIII's fault, but in turn, we blame Bella Pasta.

smug said: what?!? In 1999, FaT II were immediately behind Catz I. If we'd bumped you then, you wouldn't have been in a position to bump us yesterday

mjb said: And it's apparently all the fault of FaT II for failing to bump ahead of Catz back in '99 what?!?

Hurrah Hurrah Hurrah Hurrah!!!!!!!!!!! That was the first time ever that Catz have bumped you guys. Apparently Catz can now have your boat house. I've already put a claim on the lard cupboard and maybe the weights room so I can perve at you when you get changed in our tiny old crappy boat house. Well done to the 2nd and 3rds. You deserved it.

Any chance of that Elvis remix from the Nike advert (would make a change to have something from this week's charts!) plus something related to England football - they will have been playing that day after all (cf June 2000).

Anna said: Is Ray the Barber a little known rowing guru who is giving you all psychological preparation for the Mays? Reminds me of that shoe-shine guy Frank Drebin would always go and see in Police Squad

Good to see the men are making an effort for the Mays this year. I've only been in my kitchen twice today but the first time Mr Glass was having his tresses tamed and the second Mr Talbott. What gives? Is this some kind of crew bonding? Is Ray the Barber a little known rowing guru who is giving you all psychological preparation for the Mays? Who knows? It's a very suspicious. (Should perhaps clarify that my kitchen looks over All Saints Passage and that Ray hasn't set up shop in the gyp room).
