It always is what they say it will be.
At least for the main course.
At least in essence.
Occasionally they give us rat-chicken.

Yummy. All of a sudden a formal with the Caius lot doesn't seem like such a good idea...

You're having a formal with our medics? Or a sporty thing? No, it's good, gets rather rowdy when they bring wine.
Don't forget to save up your pennies.

Apparently my crew is arranging a formal with your womens 2nd VIII for next week. I've got a stash of pennies which I keep for such occassions!

You're on a crew?
Women's proper 2nd 8 (roman numerals? you're having a laugh!) or the novice boat? I have a bunch of friends on the first novice boat, but you won't find me getting up at 6.30 in the am.

I'm in the college 1st IV. You've got to use roman numerals! It's a sporty thing - XV in rugby, XI in cricket... It will be the women's 2nd VIII proper (if it has been arranged), not the novice boat. I'm the baby of the seniors smiley - smiley

Aww, you get to be in a real boat. Actually a 1st yr guy I know is in the 2nd mens boat (out of 2)

It's quite cool, but I have started to coach and have decided I despise it. Having eight wining girls in a boat is just too much for me to take after a week of early morning outings...

Well stop making them do nasty things then! (so they won't whine)

(I have no sympathy, I have friends with blisters that bleed)

I take it back about coaching - they gave me a bar of chocolate for coaching them today. I don't make them do nasty things and I try not to be mean to any of them. It's the cold and rain they don't like!

And the 7 am?
And the blisters?


Hi Catwoman!

Post 52

Dr Nick

True. I had forgotten about those. Fair enough point. I can see now why sensible people avoid it. Explains why I love it so much tho! smiley - biggrin


Hi Catwoman!

Catwoman

What, you like blisters?


Hi Catwoman!

Post 54

Dr Nick

You've got me there. Blisters suck but racing and messing around at the boat house are what makes it all worthwhile. Or so I keep telling myself...

And the formal halls...?


Hi Catwoman!

Post 56

Dr Nick

I haven't had a crew one yet - our one with you guys tomorrow has fallen through (I don't know who was arranging it), but judging from the state of people after other boatie formals it's something to look forward to!


Hi Catwoman!

Catwoman

Um, yeah, if you like that sort of thing. Less fun if you just happen to be in hall when it's happening, chances of having someone throw up on you (or being hit by flying food) are raised.


Hi Catwoman!

Post 58

Dr Nick

Sounds like you've had bad experiences of formals...


Hi Catwoman!

Post 59

Catwoman

It's just more fun if you are the drunk people, rather than just being nearby.
