Yes when he was moaning about his defeat to Joe Bugner. Point taken though.

The BBC are actually taking the ******* boat race seriously. Ffs.

In the left boat some over privileged American tall blokes will be rowing against a boat on the right with some over privileged posh blokes.

They both narrowly won their semi finals against Peckham Collegiate and East Powys technical college respectively.

The Boaty McBoat race?

Who was the long haired git who asked if the lady rowers had Cox ? Oh how we laughed.

Pip pip, jolly bad luck old bean

As a tv licence fee payer who is indirectly funding this shit I feel I should have a say in it. I hope the ***** drown.

I always have a cheeky reverse forecast bet on the race and win every time.

A relative of ours rowed in the reserve (Goldie/Isis) race a couple of years ago.

He'd hardly rowed before going to Oxford, but was sporty. It takes huge dedication and teamwork...and no, he wasn't from public school.

It's less cliquey than it appears, and the sport has races for many categories, including oldies. But the media tends to focus on this race of powerhouse students.

Nothing wrong with the sport Yoda. It's the event and the media coverage which grates so much.

Whats happened to the English Upper Class? Its all Sherman Tanks in the boat race!!

Since the race is always decided within 30 seconds whykeep going for 8 minutes?

Don't really blame him,it's sections of the Wet Spam fans and the media who keep harping on about it

Pissing about doing your belt up after negotiating the joys of button up flies, only to find you have a portion of your hoodie top still in your jeans and then have to do it all over again before you leave the toilet.

Easter in March far to early for 2 bank holidays , Easter should be moved to June .

I take it both teams were blown out of the water?

It is part of our fabric. It reminds me of the Olympic Opening ceremony. We do this sort of stuff very well.

Sean Walsh on the coverage today, painful to watch.

I had no idea they rolled out Geoff Hurst for the EUROs. 1966 give it a rest ffs.

Talking of 1966 has anyone seen an American made programme for Discovery called Natural Born Outlaws? Two episodes were about The Krays and The Richardsons. The actors they had playing Reggie Kray and Charlie Richardson were not only the worst actors ever seen on television but had the worst London accents, totally cringeworthy.

Which annoyed me.

My Mother in Law just got a new phone number and it ends in 1966.... that all.

Geoff Hurst has only a hat-trick of teeth left. How spooky is that ?
