Anyone else going/care?

If I wanted to watch a bunch of toffs having a wank-off I'd go to the House of Commons.

No.

Got rejected too then?

Ha! Far from it. My tutor insisted I applied to Oxford to do my Masters, along with my preferred choices. Had the pleasure of turning them down in favour of Warwick.

Judging by the weather forecast, this weekend's race more likely to be about avoiding drowning......

I went once. Ended up about 5 of us doing acid and climbing up on the tables of The Old Ship and trying to to summersaults of them.

I think a boat sank that year. I don't think that it had anything to do with us, but who can say for sure ... didn't see the boats. or the river.

It was definitely a 'who you know, not what you know' situation. The person who wrote my reference was/is very chummy with key people in their philosophy department. I just couldn't imagine many worse environments to be in. Plus having to actually work for my education rather than have everything handed to me on a plate, there was no way I could have paid their ridiculous fees anyway.

I've been a couple of times (COME ON YOU OXFORD!) but actually as a spectator event it's a bit pap.

Much better to get in a pub, get hammered and watch it on tv where you can actually see the whole race.

I've got a sneaky suspicion that Aston University might win it this year.

 

[Arnoldtoo]

Who's in the final this year?

 

[talkshowhost86]

Easy Easy Easy!

 

[wiggo24]

Well that was an anti-climax

 

[LSUY]

Don't be disheartened Cambridge, at least you came second...out of two, which is essentially last.
