The Boat Race - two and a half *hours*?

[vernon]

There's a lot of intolerant folk here who lack the ability/imagination to find an alternative activity to watching the boat race.

a whole two and a half hours every single year !

Scandalous, I'm going to write to my MP.

I think a premium aquatic sporting event where one of the boats is called Kevin deserves plenty of coverage ....

Can the other boat be called Boaty McBoatface?

Sadly it was called Daniel .... Who knows for next year ... They should start a poll.

Oh god, yesterday afternoon was so boring. Nothing on the TV but 16 toffs from the Bullingdon club (and like) going for a pootle on the Thames. Why oh why does my Sunday have to be ruined by these Lycra clad nobbers? The BBC should be ashamed. That's the whole of Easter ruined. In fact it's spoilt 2016 as far as I'm concerned.

I've never seen you so animated. Let's get the punts.

I saw a bit of splashing on the BBC news last night. Was that it? Pah - I can make bigger waves (and bubbles ) in my bath.

I have no problem with rowers doing their thing. Only with the BBC devoting two and a half hours to it on their premier channel.

I enjoyed the whole show.

Shops are shut. What else can they do?
