I've never really understood the national obsession with this event. Even more so now it's full of foreign mercenaries going to Oxbridge doing a PhD in Lego just to get a spot on the team.
Annoyingly, my wife is quite in to rowing as a couple of the lads from her (comprehensive) school went to Cambridge and competed for the second XIII, meaning she loves watching it on the telly. Must try and be at work that afternoon....

Gawd! My wife also likes it as she went to Oxford (Poly that is).

I always watch the Oxford v Cambridge boat race. It's just different and my mum is from Oxford, so she's always had an interest in it!

My mum went to Cambridge so always watches it. Obviously I always want Oxford to win, its only fair that way.

Why?
1. There are nice pubs by Hammersmith Bridge (esp The Dove and The Blue Anchor; The Rutland Arms has gone corporately bland, sadly), although they do always get absolutely rammed on Boat Race day.
2. It's an excellent rhyming slang (She's got nice legs, but have you seen the state of her Boat...?! Cor lumme...).
3. How can one not be amused by that footage from the 70s of both crews sinking?
4. Harry Carpenter: "Ah, isn't that nice. The wife of the Cambridge President is kissing the Cox of the Oxford crew."
Other than that... meh.

I repped Matt for that boozer too. Lovely place. In fact, having a beer along the riverfront at Hammersmith or Chiswick is one of the big things I miss about living down in west London.
