    Oxford Cambridge Boat Race

    I protest about the result! The Oxford team were not informed how strong the current was, nor how strong the winds were - the race should be run again! Repeatedly until I get the result I wanted.

    It was a but foggy so the race was not clear for all the way - They were late pulling off. Cambridge got off to a good start at Putney Bridge, though, and carried on strong throughout. They won by three lengths in 17 minutes and 51 seconds. First time since 1997. A complete fluke! They can only win when they row blind!

    Heaven forbid, No! Television programmes are a complete waste of my time, I have far better things to do, until I am arrested and thrown inside.

    Why are you so enthusiastic about this event ? Even when I shared a house with one of the competitors I wasn't that excited about it.
