I am astonished by the amount of rowing twitter who believe the Town should have been rerowed.

I swear every manufacturer that puts a "phone pocket" in sports technical clothing thinks that the average person carries nothing larger than a Nokia 3210.

This is a totally petty and unjustifiable gripe of mine: I am less likely to choose to goto an event if they make a terrible AI regatta poster.

In a world where the average dinner plate is round, supermarket pizzas should not be rectangular.

People who go out on a Sat morning four weeks before HRR and complain about launches are no different from men who shout at clouds. PS the 22kph southerly might have something to do with the disgusting conditions.

How I feel dealing with work meetings.

Why I don't use my athletes to trial different boats: "So what did you think about this shell?" "I like that it has a water bottle holder" No other feedback given.

Cool, let me see how my school safeguarding department feels about being told that they're no longer going to be responsible for safeguarding cases...

Overheard: There's only one crew to support. They're not dicks, they have a nicer colour, and they're going to win.

Overheard: "Who do you want to win on Sat?" "The weather"

I've burnt better boats than one for sale atm for 5k.

I have just encountered the phrase "I haven't broken it, I have just increased it's need for maintenance". I think I may need this on a t-shirt.

Is it just me or are we starting to see a significantly growing divide between what manufacturers the schools buy vs everyone else? SHoRR looking significantly more yellow now than a few years ago whereas for clubs and unis there's a lot more white with a blue stripe?

A haiku for the turd I rowed this morning: Flop like a noodle, Made for those without any feet, Needs insurance fraud. Anyone want to guess the manufacturer?

I kinda want to know how many fingertips got chopped off to cause the manufacturer to feel the need to include this warning.

O.o some activity out of the old TTRC boathouse?

"Sir which way do we circulate?" Teacher looks up and looks at the utter chaos that is occurring with boats everywhere at slack water "Don't crash, just don't crash"

With safety hat on I don't have that much of an objection to seniors going out on red flag provided all the other boxes are ticked. I'm not sure I would ever get into a position where I would let junior small boats out when they could just wait 2h for the flood tide...

Yeah let's chuck some boys 8s out and do a side by side fixture in the inshore smashing into some novices. Real smart people.

Talking to a student boat club committee sometimes makes me wonder if I am the reincarnation of Cassandra. One who utters true prophesies but is fated to never be believed.
