Great win gals of Cambridge. Let's hope the chaps can do the same

 

[morroco_mole]

Like the winners dipping their Cox in the water??

Can’t do that anymore. E-coli!

Haway the light blues.

A few of them had E.coli and still raced

Illness among the Oxford crew was.blame on the amount of effluent in the water.

Looks like someone in the government got their wires crossed when Rishi said he needs to stop the boats.

I doubt it. The most boring night out you are ever likely to have in Cambridge. Gardenia is a good kebab shop though.

Watch ‘Thunderball’ instead. Spectre's Emilio Largo’s Disco Volante makes Cambridge v Oxford look like the boat race.

I can think of many more boring places for a night out than Cambridge. You just need to know where to go.

I haven't been to Gardenia for years but it a legendary local place.

Where ??? I have drank there regularly for the last 35 years. had a few good raves in fields just out of town but always found the centre of town to be a bit tiresome.

Always used to be on a Saturday 60s/70s. Both fa cup semi finals and the grand national all on the same afternoon.
Best day of the year for sport!

Why not move boat race to a cleaner river and revert when Thames water have got their shit togerther ( no pun intended ) ?

Just avoid the centre of town which is mostly full of tourists and students. I could spend all day on a pub crawl around the back streets off Mill Road.

I wouldn't want to be anywhere near a rave

When Brian had the Earl of Beaconsfield that was a cracking pub. Mill Road isn’t bad actually

Wouldn't be the same if it was abroad.

(2022 House of Commons Committee report on UK rivers: no river in England was free from chemical contamination. Only 14% had a “good” ecological status, which isn't the same as being clean)

exactly, it would be a national embarrassment ( ie we have no clean rivers ) and might motivate government/water companies into action- wishful thinking I know
