They've found a suspected unexploded WWII bomb near the start. At the moment they don't think the races will be affected.
Yes I caught the end of the news items - thought I heard 'suspect package next to Thames'.
Finger crossed we don't have a cancellation - or someone jumping in - again
Supporting CAMBRIDGE !!!
. . . though I want to live in Oxford - but prefer Cambridge but damn those fenland pesky winds
I like to watch it but don't generally actively support either team. It's too distant from me to have any relevance! 
Two teams of guys
Who aim to stroke
and slip
and slid
and ace a race
The only way
to not lose face
that's the spirit.
Stiff upper lip and don't let the War get in the way of a tradition.

I'm just having a quick coffee before I go buy a new mug for work (retro robot) and saw the thread and was inspired to make verse.
EC I love mugs/cups
Love coffee
So it kinda goes together
I'm a common oik, and I don't care which team wins

In the last TEN races Oxford have won SEVEN
Plus Cambridge is a smaller town to the larger, busier Oxford.
Cambridge is prettier and quieter
In all ways the underdog ... so long as we ignore that Cambridge won last year 
Hooorraaaahhhhhhhh
Tally bally hoooooo

Good to see that Baz's crystal ball is clean and sparkling today... 
Can't see how they can pull it back after that start ...
the curse of Baz
Unless something drastic happens - Cambridge have this in the bag
