The Boat Race 2024

[herra soul mob]

In the shit this year
With all the sewage floating in the Thames

the racecourse has been cleaned of all turds especially for the event.

 

[Shandy drinker]

As far as I know it is no big deal in the boat racing calendar, it is just literally posh blokes racing against each other, and the coverage it gets is because the BBC producers and reporters are all Oxbridge graduates.

One of the sporting Crown Jewels
Like…….??
Wimbo
Test matches
Fa cup final

the racecourse has been cleaned of all turds especially for the event.

Have they had the fags out

It was always a big event for ordinary London folk years ago.
My great grandparents, and grandparents who were from Camberwell/New Cross - always enjoyed their day out for the boat race.

I'll take your word for it. I seem to recall it did seem quite exciting when I was a kid so maybe it's just old age bringing a more cynical outlook.

Deffo,

Get the biggest bloke to go cox as the other row.

Nah, far from it.
It was a big day for a piss up.

It’s rubbish. Whoever gets to the first corner wins.

I don’t mind rowing generally, on a straight track it’s vaguely watchable if GB has a decent team

[Darlo1973]

Don't care who wins as long as it isn't Oxford.

 

[STUMPY]

I've a gut feeling Cambridge will finish 1st or maybe 2nd so I'm putting an each way bet on.

 

[Oli Wagkz]

Only positive outcome is they both sink

What if they sink?

 

[Pnematic1]

Like the winners dipping their Cox in the water??

Last year the lady handing out the trophy , bent down and kissed the cox of the winning crew ………….

 

[NodsNeph]

Heard that because of the state of the Thames this year neither team are trying. Just going through the motions

 

[Hettonlass]

Lovely weather for it

 

[STUMPY]

What if they sink?

Money back
