Infamy for RSR regular

This is a UKcentric entry
The times (on page 31in my edition) has an article on the possible
health benefits for men of small but regular amounts of alcohol. To
illustrate the article they have obviously trawlled their picture
archive for a positive picture of men drinking together. The picture
appears to be taken over the hedge into Remenham club and shows 4
blazered Kingston memebers enjoying a "beverage". One of them bears an
uncanny resemblance to an RSR regular.

Step forward Mr Biddulph

I don't see how promoting a healthy lifestyle may lead to infamy!

You're absolutely correct, but if you dont read the article it could
just be a picture of some "larger louts"

I know all poms are eccentric and I know the benefits of regular small
amounts of alcohol are beneficial to the patient if not the carers (or
careers) of the patient. Personally, I can testify to being a long and
fruitful test case. (The fruitful being more specifically grapeful(l).)
Grapefull is definitely better than maltese, except on hogmannay.
That's because the prescription costs $8 instead of $40.

Sho having just taken a bottle of medicine, I will return to the ward
and declare I have never felt better.

In this case, I think I remember when this was originally published in
The Times during Henley last year:

I'm impressed that larger louts in your neck of the woods dress in
jackest and ties!!

Yes, it caused great amusement among many of my friends (umpires & coaches
alike) at the National Schools Regatta this weekend. I've arrived back home
this evening to a fistful of e-mails which must say something encouraging
about the readership of The Times. One of my co-conspirators pointed out
that the article is available on-line
(http://www.timesonline.co.uk/newspaper/0,,174-2197910,00.html),and better
still it has the colour version of the photo, whereas the printed copy of
the paper only had the black and white version (as did the original
appearance of the photo, on the Friday of HRR last year).

I'll have to show the article to my doctor and see whether I can get the
daily medicine on prescription! We'll have to get Kingston Rowing Club to
emphasise the image of a heathly lifestyle (with exercise as an optional
extra).

It's not beyond the bounds of possibility that we'll be continuing to look
after our health in the same spot at this year's HRR in a month's time.
Hopefully I'll meet a few RSR contributors during the week.

Sadly the afore-mentioned cox is now substantially *larger* than his regular
coxing weight. I don't think I'm in danger of having to carry deadweight
these days (which was something I almost had to do when I was coxing a
Kingston eight whose stroke later went on to do a lot of rowing with
Mostyn).
