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! -- E. Dronkert |

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.

It's not beyond them to trawl through somebody else's picture archives too - one of the broadsheets stole a picture from our club website last year. They would have got away with it, except it was recognised by a club member. |

In this case, I think I remember when this was originally published in The Times during Henley last year: http://makeashorterlink.com/?B26A45B2D |

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. -- David Biddulph Rowing web pages at http://www.biddulph.org.uk/ |

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). -- David Biddulph Rowing web pages at http://www.biddulph.org.uk/ |
