BREAKING NEWS: Boat Race Proceeds!

[Rowls]

Following Brexit, stiff upper lips Brits are proceeding with the Boat Race despite the efforts of the dastardly Hun.

Earlier, war-mongering Germans had dropped the explosive device on London with the aim of causing death, destruction and civil panic.

Standing firm in the face of danger, we Brits have shown them our national character is far stronger than that.

The boat race continues!

God Save the Queen!

Excellent news Rowls, the boys in blue ( dark or light) who go on to rule our country will not be halted by a mere bomb. Long may it continue, and may the best crew win. PPE for all!

These are the days of being politically correct so it should be boat races.

BBC now televise the women's race to give equality and balance.

Oxford will be looking for at least one win this Sunday afternoon.

These are the days of being politically correct so it should be boat races.

BBC now televise the women's race to give equality and balance.

If they wanted true equality, they'd abolish the women's race altogether. Any woman who is good enough could be in the men's, or rather single, boat - just as it is now.

Or have semi-finals - Cambridge men v Oxford women, Oxford men v Cambridge women. May the best men win!

Clare Balding. Are you listening?

Liven it up with exploding paint mines next year

[Cirrus_Minor]

Should change the format a bit. Ouch a few well calibrated holes in each boat and see who goes the furthest before they sink. The calibration will be important here.

Five Libyans and four Syrians in each boat as well.
