First one I've watched in years and the Cambridge Women are sinking!
Does that make me a bad luck charm or good to make it more interesting?

Oh no, they've managed to stay afloat by going into the shallow waters at the side and made the finish.
Still thoroughly beaten by Oxford though.

I support Oxford, my great gran was born in the city in 1895. I went to Oxford last year.

Cambridge is closer to meo I should support it but I've always preferred Oxford as a place and then there is the Inspector Morse thing so tend to favour them.

Those two are always in the final. It's time they stopped hogging this competition.
Why not give Scumbag College a go, where Neil, Vyvyan, Rick and Mike went to study?
They could race Footlight's College, Oxbridge, who they played against on University Challenge.

Lolzer Uncle Q... The Young Ones was a great programme... I still watch it now when it's on... That and Filthy, Rich & Catflap & Bottom of course...
They used to have a boat race here on the Irwell between Salford & Manchester Uni's... They stopped it when some fecker nicked the boats one year... All the scrotes in Salford were playing pirates for weeks on end...

Vyvyan's self-decapitation when the train went in the tunnel was hilarious!!

Vyvyan's self-decapitation when the train went in the tunnel was hilarious!! They could get Toxteth O'Grady to referee it I'm thinking. You know, the guy who had both the world's stickiest bogey, and the world's biggest bottom burp. Plus the Beeb could replace Claire Bloke's drab commentary with Jerzei Balowski, and the winner would receive Felicity Kendall's underwear instead of a cup. ** That train scene was filmed a couple of miles from where I lived Wallis, in between Chepstow and Newport.

I've just caught the report of the boat race on the news... They actually let women have a go now... What is the world coming to...
Letting a bunch of women loose with a canoe... They'll be crashing into things, rowing up the wrong way, putting their lippy on half way down and gossiping with each other... Crikey, the race will take forever to finish...
And not only that... Who's going to iron the blokes uniforms and get the tea ready for them when they get back... It's bloody hard work rowing one of them barges you know...
Christ on a bike... They'll be allowing them to drive next...

I remember when Rodney Marsh said on TalkSport, if a woman was flying the plane he'd get off. Lol, the switchboard went into uproar. There's not enough leg-pulling these days. Reminds me of this classic Family Guy scene ... Carter: "We're not covered by the lame-stream media, so we got to reach out to the common man individually Peter."Peter: "Right, common man ... (dials phone)"Woman: "Hello." Peter: "Ah, geez ... it's a girl ... May I speak to the man of the house?"Woman: "This is the woman of the house, and there is no man living here."Peter: "No? ... W-W-What is ... I ... I ... how are you paying for this phone?"Woman: "I'm a lawyer."Peter: "Oh, I see ... awwww ... and are you in your little courthouse right now representing Barbie?"(phone goes dead)

Especially the bigger ones marked 'parent and child' - they're grrrrreeat. Sooner they get them on the Thames, Isis and Cam the better!

My husband moaned at me yesterday because instead of 3 point turning in the lane outside here dicing with ditches full of mud and cowshite, I opted to go a little further along by 100 metres and turn around in a pull-in outside the neighbour's barn. Why would I want to make a complete cock-up of turning round with him glaring at me criticising what I am doing? One small question. Why if women are such Bad Drivers are blokes so keen to buy cars from "One careful lady owner......." then? ?
