Farage going big on #AngelaRayner resignation: Meanwhile “Farage claimed last year to have “bought a house” in his constituency. However house is actually owned in the name of his partner, meaning he legally avoided higher-rate stamp duty on the purchase.” theguardian.com/politics/2025/…

@fatsculler @BritishRowing That means that so far this summer, GB has won both mens and womens eights at the U23 champs, World Student Games and U19 champs

Wow, @BritishRowing complete the clean sweep of U19 boys sweep events at #WorldRowingU19Champs taking 🥇 in JM2-, JM4- and JM8 and the girls team also took 🥇 in the JW8 and 🥈in the JW4- & JW2X and 🥉 in the JW4-

@theboatrace The Oxford cox has pushed a long way towards Middlesex. Look how far he is from the big boat moored on the Black Buoy. Without a big sponsor to keep happy its a clear DQ. Lucky for Matt that Cambridge went on to just row away from Oxford

The 79th Women’s Boat Race was the first in race history to have a stop and restart. Watch to see why 👀

Many people don't know this, but Dr. Seuss (yes that Dr. Seuss) did political cartoons before he became a children's book author. He often warned about the rise of fascism under the guise of an 'america first' policy. Pretty crazy how relevant this is, history rhyming again.

Found this iconic race hidden away on one of Penny Chuter's tapes. It was labelled "Rowing Technique review 1968 to 1985" youtu.be/y2yfqlDir4s

@RowingFamily1 Warmer air heading for RH17 overnight so might all have melted by the time you wake up

Snow and it's starting to settle RH17 (between Gatwick and Brighton).

@RowingFamily1 @chuter_penny Only just starting to upload Penny's huge collection of videos

The wonderful tribute to @chuter_penny from GigRower.co.uk with input from @MostynField who has uploaded many of Penny's videos to YouTube (@MostynARC). fb.watch/wfYmGsfGlR/

Penny Chuter who passed away on Nov 16th requested that I take charge of her (massive) video collection in order to upload interesting footage to YouTube. Penny's funeral is on Monday and to mark this here is a quick video of her sculling in 1963 and 64 youtu.be/f1J6ulD4z48

I love Venn diagrams.

@martcrossy I’ve been to Erdine, fried liver capital of the world 🍽️😀, didn’t know there was a rowing course there

European U23 Rowing champs start here in Edirne Saturday heats Sunday finals - some great crews including Paris Olympians and U23 world champions - livestream Sunday

@ArdinglyRC Cuckfield at 10am on a Sunday would be possible after session one has finished at the reservoir

@fatsculler @swissrowing Tyrian cow kit from 20 years ago

Loving the @swissrowing cow racing suits! 😎 #rowing

@immaggi @fatsculler I specifically meant his lack of knowledge of the current athletes and results

@fatsculler @MostynField Let’s agree to disagree.

Great race from GB M4X just couldn’t quite get the podium. But have to say it’s pretty rubbish of Cracknell to say they have to get a medal otherwise the last 3 years “have been a waste of time” ridiculous attitude #rowing #Paris2024

@AdrianEllison17 @fatsculler Not being empathetic was probably one of the selection criteria when the local conservatives chose him as their candidate 🧐😜

@fatsculler For a wannabe politician, he doesn't seem very diplomatic or empathetic.

@RowingVoice @matthewcpinsent How are they umpiring the races, looks like they have launches that lurk about at 500m marks and pull behind the race for a short time. Are they now assuming everyone can steer? M4- Tokyo anyone

You'd have to be British and over 60 to remember this, but the Paris medal party uniforms remind me of a Goodies episode from the 70's. The episode was about "Ecky Thump" which was a Lancastrian martial art involving black puddings, in which the Goodies wore oversized flat caps

@RowingVoice Wasn’t being serious, ……… was suggesting that an artist was used to paint the photo finishes

@MostynField No, it's the inside front corner of the press box, which looks down the course. The photofinish box is right across the line.

A first perhaps? An artist up in the press box capturing the scene impressively quickly.
