This has been bugging me for years. Why are there always coconuts in the Thames? Where do they come from? Is there a careless coconut shy upriver? Do the coconuts break free from the Innocent juicing factory? Am I slowly going mad and imagining coconuts? So many questions.

The southerner inside me: Despite what my GPS says I refuse to believe 100mi north of Leeds is Newcastle. It clearly should be Wick/Thurso.

Sat with a coffee in Newcastle this morning playing playing spot the hungover rower.

"Take the arch starboard of centre" - "The one with the lamppost on it?" *all the arches on this bridge have lampposts on them* - "The one with the bus on it?" "Yes!" *the bus contraversially moves* Sculler goes through incorrect arch which now has bus on it...

Your crew will lose more speed by binning bow pair into an oncoming crew in the fog than it will gain by having one more outing. Its manic out there guys. Stay safe.

It amazes me how you can find nine people smart enough to be admitted to one of the best higher education establishments in the world but not smart enough to realise tap turning just uptide of a bridge with the ferry bearing down blaring the full five blasts is a bad idea.

The economics of new boat buying are so topsy turvy the sensible budget option for a certain tideway club is genuinely the reverse wing Filippi octo. I feel sorry for the person who has to organise the trailer bed.

10pts to this person who successfully took a trailer through a Maccies drive through.

I reckon I currently consume about 5 flies per coached outing at this point of the season. I would really rather this number decreased.

There's a special place in hell for people who design motorway service stations and put the loos right at the back as far away from the door as possible. (Yes I am aware of the concept of shop footfall but still straight down to hell you go).
