Boat Race

The Monks, 79.  'nice legs, shame about her boat race'

The boat race used to be a big thing back in the day. People who had no idea what a university was would pick a side and watch the race on telly.

And bet on it.

in this day and age i'm surprised they are able to say cox on tv before 9pm

Especially when they dip them in the water when they win!..

Best prices:-

Cambridge 2/5 Hills
Oxford 5/2 Ladbrokes/Corals
Dead-heat 100/1 generally

Better off on here by far on Cambridge.

Never a dead heat in the history of the race  fun fact

Dutching both EW

Give it a few years and it will be   Syria V Lesotho in two 30 quid dinghies.

Missed the boat DG
Every day across the channel

Putney Bridge is cockney rhyming slang for 'fridge', as in "get me a ****(beer) from the Putney Bridge.

why would you keep a **** in your fridge?

DG... In the 70s the rhyming slang for fridge amongst my crowd changed to "the Mary"... As in Mary, Mungo and Midge
