Some good ones Niall. Maybe I should stop picking on the English as a whole, and start picking on their rowers/ergers. Maybe in particular MAD Team rowers/ergers. Anyone care to play?? Dwayne

All I know is if I take TAFF + MAD and read it backwards I get ... DAM FFAT ?? Not saying that means anything though ..... Not saying it's the subliminal message you use to motivate yourselves to those great times ... KMurphy

And I'm not talking by a member of the court looking to get the Throne. None that I'm aware of. Why? Because there is respect.  </td></tr></table> Whoa there! You must be reading a different history book than the one I read in primary school. Killing royals in days of yore seemed to be a jolly good blood sport similar to having a fox hunt. Wasn't it good ol' King Henry who lopped off the head of his wife every time that he wanted to have a romp with another lady? I lost count, but didn't he change wives more often than he changed his underwear? I admire his logic though - the church elders condemned those who divorce, so he merely exploited a technicality in their law. Speakig of Henry VIII, wasn't he the guy who knew that he couldn't get to Heaven if he stayed with the Catholic church? The clever dude started a new religion that worked better for him and then demand that all subjects either join him or lose their heads. Good man, that Henry! I think that he would have made a great lawyer! (Solicitor or Barrister) Cheers, Paul Flack

The back went at around the 500m mark. Not only did I finish (in a heap I may add), but I was still faster than you!! Dwayne returns Philip's volley with a smash!!

That was the 2nd time ever I had sat on a rower in my life, yet I got within 7 seconds of you, a sub 5:50 2K rower. I also had a really bad back on that day, but choose to row through the pain, cos that’s the kind of guy I am Dwayne’s attempted smash easily picked of by Phil and returned with menacing power.

I'm 37 and my season's best for 2K is 7:25. Looks like I can look forward to a sub 5:50 2K in a couple of years time! (Do I really have to put in all those metres that you do though Speedy?? ) (Sorry this post is off topic )
