E-coli poisoning for some of the crews......
I thought they should have cancelled it, to make a point about the filth in the water......
There are many thousands of hours goes into the prep for this race. I think it would be unfair to sacrifice both crews on this alter. I thought they should have cancelled it, to make a point about the filth in the water......
I do agree though, as an ex-rower who has rowed in some awful water, it is a disgrace what is happening with our rivers - especially given dividends and salaries paid.

List the boat race teams. Then you’ll figure out this simple equation.
It’s not easy to find their social class. As you seem to have the information why not share it?
ks... Both pick folks who will offer an athletic advantage rather than one of status - have done for years. James cracknell, for example, was a grammar kid.
Do you know when I started to watch the Boat Race on Saturday rather than open up another thread I looked and found this one.
I was genuinely enjoying it and posted accordingly. I was hoping it wouldnt go the way it has.
It's a sad reflection of how the forums are going generally.
anyway no doubt some one will come back with a glib reply but you know I just think it's genuinely quite sad.
Must be my upper class upbringing that causes me to like to watch this race except that I didnt have one.

If you don’t apply that’s unlikely. So, my favourite stalker, are you an oxbridge grad?
If you didn’t go there what are you basing your assessment of them all being toffs on?It wasn’t my experience at all, I felt very much welcomed there when I arrived from my state comprehensive in a (former) mining town.
What I found was extremely bright people with a genuine love for their chosen subject who wanted to get a good education in it.

A passing interest in this (although didn't watch this year).
I came to post how exhausting it is to have every thread ruined by negativity and toxic commentary.
The "toffs" comment I mean. I see it all over the internet.
Something semi-interesting to then see just bitterness in response.
It's honestly depressing.

It's likely a lot of these haters will be working for one of these 'toff's' - who they have no experience of meeting, in the future. I came to post how exhausting it is to have every thread ruined by negativity and toxic commentary.
