yay maggie 3 are now in the 3rd division again! yay!

by Bored - Tue 1st Mar 2005, 5:02pm
With the stupid new Lents rule putting the rowing onto 5 days, has any crew ever managed an "uber-blade" by bumping on 5 consecutive days (I imagine this could only work starting in the 4th division?)

Where's her hand? In her lap.

Is it just me that finds this photo highly amusing :) Where's her hand?

Not a full overhead yet but he came damn close in one of our practice courses for the Uni IV's and also in the IV's Head.

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

by old git - Tue 8th Oct 2002, 8:15am
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...

Graduating said: Does anybody have any instructions on what to do with these things? Don't worry, you get shown before you go to the Senate House, and they tidy you up for the cameras.

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

by Graduating - Wed 26th Jun 2002, 1:54pm
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.

by Bill Frindell - Tue 25th Jun 2002, 4:10pm
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.)

by errant webmaster - Tue 25th Jun 2002, 12:25pm
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?

by Not out I say - Tue 25th Jun 2002, 11:32am
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

by smug - Sun 16th Jun 2002, 8:49am
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.

by Simon - Thu 13th Jun 2002, 8:43am
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

by Anna - Sat 8th Jun 2002, 4:34pm
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).

Can we have the Jackson Five, I want you back.

by mjb - Sun 2nd Jun 2002, 5:56pm
Some more songs for request House Of Pain - Jump Around Spin Doctors - 2 Princes Eiffel 65 - Blue

by gf - Fri 31st May 2002, 8:46am
Jump by Van Halen and Step On by Happy Mondays ought to feature.

by Inspired - Thu 30th May 2002, 7:10pm
And how about Smooth by Santana. Also, We are the Champions is always the best song to end on, but is kind of dependant on a successful Bumps...

by Just a Babybel by comparison... - Thu 30th May 2002, 1:57pm
Oh good lord. I had no idea how much big cheese lovin' went on out there. It's amazing. The message board is becoming a musical education in itself. Can we have Waterloo? Please?

Additions........ said: On a more cheesy note.... Spandau Ballet's Gold, and Build me up Buttercup. Yey, Build me up is quality, however being as its catz college song i wouldn't recommend playing it after we bump you:) I think Insomnia is a more relevant Faithless song but We come one is top class and gets my vote every time

by Simon - Thu 30th May 2002, 7:03am
Anyone else watch Match of the World Cup last night? Some great early 90s music there... Which leads me to suggest: Unbelievable by EMF. Or, a song that topped the charts in the same week that Unbelievable was released - The KLF's 3am Eternal.

by mjb - Wed 29th May 2002, 10:55pm
I forgot to request Eye Of The Tiger

Oh, and something by Faithless. We come 1 perhaps?

I don't think this counts as work..... said: 'I have a dream' that'I will survive' and so on Good effort, but you've missed Honeybus' classic "I can't let Maggie go..."

gf said: With the likes of New York, New York you won't go far wrong. A classic, used by the Fitz Swing Band at the end of every gig for as long as I can remember. It never fails to get everyone up and dancing, even if they've been ignoring the band all night...

Former CUR presenter Simon Blackburn said: No! Do not have a slow last song - it doesn't work, I've tried it (with the admittedly not slow enough Toploader Dancing in the Moonlight ) (which should be in there as your opening track). Have one of the usual jumping up and down songs... and if you want to be really clever have whatever song the second eight have used earlier that evening (unless it's a hymn, or a slow song, or both). Last song selection is less to do with tempo and more to do with participation, which is invoked through a combination of ultracheese and danceability (i.e. everyone trying to do the same thing, not anyone being good at dancing - boaties being co-ordinated out of a boat being unthinkable). With the likes of Zorba the Greek or New York, New York you won't go far wrong.

by Chris - Tue 28th May 2002, 2:25pm
Have we got "Take on me" by A-Ha? No cheesy bop is complete without that.

by dw - Tue 28th May 2002, 12:48pm
L'Amour Toujours is a dance track. The jump up and down songs are there - more than ever in fact. I confidently predict this is the best bop I've done (not saying much perhaps!).

Oh, and Iain, there is no way I am playing DJ Miko. That bastardisation of a good Cranberries song is awful!!

by dw - Tue 28th May 2002, 9:38am
My personal requests are... L'Amour Toujours - Gigi d'Agostino Diva - Dana International My Name Is Frank Butcher What do people think about Gigi? Last song material?
