uncle_wiggily Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 Holy crap! I was just watching the rowing final, it was a tremendous battle between Great Britain and Canada, with Great Britain winning by 0.08 seconds!! It came down to a photo finish. Congratulations to the boys from Britain and Canada on an amazing race! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saintsfan Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 is all I can say! Mathew Pinsent now has gold medals in 4 olympics, only his old partner Sir Steve redgrave has won golds in more. Ed Coode only came into the 4 8 weeks ago after someone else had a collapsed lung! man was that good- and one of I think 4 golds britain have won today so far!! Including the equestrian gold which was eventually given to leslie Law after a decision to penalise a german was reversed and then, 2 days later reverseed again! 2011/12 WFL Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesCraven Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 "COXLESS, eh? "Wow, I feel bad for 'em!" "Terrible, just plain terrible." No joke there, I just wanted someone on the board to use the word "coxless" within the context of a sentance. Now, how about using the word "cunnalingus" in a sentence here? "I better go take a long walk off a short pier or something."Some people on this bolard have told me to do just that.My "Ron Mexico" alias is "Jon Tobago".

Mac the Knife Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 Did anyone else giggle out loud when they saw a thread by UNCLE WIGGILY with a COXLESS reference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEAD! Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 Did anyone else giggle out loud when they saw a thread by UNCLE WIGGILY with a COXLESS reference? Coxless simply refers to the fact that they don't have a person called a Cox which yells to the rowers on the boat. I believe a Cox applies to eight-man rowing. I saw, I came, I left.

To be more correct, the person is known as the coxswain.

Saintsfan Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 Actually any number of crew can have a cox, I believe thewy have a coxed pairs event at the olympics, for instance!And I wouldn't make any coxless jokes to those guys faces, they are pretty tough! 2011/12 WFL Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphabet Man Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 slightly off-topic but,if the boat capsizes , the rowers can swim to the finish line....but they have to get the boat across aswellThorpey is joining the rowing team (return of the Awesome Foursome) twitter.com/thebrainofMatt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesCraven Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 "[ian] Thorpe is joining the rowing team (return of the Awesome Foursome)." That'd be the only way to slow him down, I guess.
