The 158th Boat Race had to be halted midway through because of a swimmer in the River Thames.

The Oxford and Cambridge boats were side by side after eight minutes when the sight of a man in the river ahead of them forced them to stop.

It was decided the two boats would return to Chiswick Bridge to restart from a straight section of river.
I wonder if he was actually committing a crime, i.e. deliberately causing an obstruction, or just got in the way ..... :conf:

Marc 07-04-2012 01:55 PM

I wouldn't swim in it leisurely :laugh:

Marc 07-04-2012 02:00 PM

And now Oxford have lost an oar!!! And the umpire is allowing it to go on!

Oxford have lost :bored:

Anyone hear the Oxford bloke shout '****ing disgraceful' in his posh accent?

One of the Oxford crew has collapsed.

Cambridge went on to win with ease after Oxford broke an oar in a clash moments after the resumption.

Apparently the "swimmer" is associated to thisisnotagateway and was protesting against elitism.

:laugh: My sister used to work at his College and met him a few times. Amazing name

Black Dagger 07-04-2012 05:03 PM

Oooh it's all going down.

arista 07-04-2012 05:08 PM

Yes The Punk was against Elite People.

As a Result
the race stopped and due to the Rushed ReStart
one team got Extra Lucky.


Next Year
they must Fence it Off
and if a Punk jumps in
pull him out and Taser him.

I don't get how it works, does the competition get legal rights over the whole stretch of the race.

Yes The Trenton Punk changed who Won
as the Re Starts clogged them up.

Next Year Get him when he jumps in.
