year old girl

Hope some of you watched the final of UC.
The Footlights narrowly beat Scumbag College
(pace "The Young Ones")

Surely some of you watched it.
If you didn't, catch it on BBC IPlayer.

If I don't receive a response soon I shall
feel obliged to spill the beans as to why it is unmissable.

Oh, yes. Sorry, I watched it Tuesday evening. (Hasn't Neil aged?)

Please feel free to fetch the tin-opener, or whatever.

Needlessly to say I clicked on it anyway.
I've already said something to the effect that
Trimble (Walton on Thames) was no "Spring Chicken"
But their recovery from being 45 points down with
4 miiutes to go involved putting on 125 points
without reply.

I have mentioned "graduate" involvement previously
wrt rowing.
