I have not heard that one since I was at school 😬

 

My English teacher used to like to confuse people with it, he was also the school rowing coach and so was responsible for Sir Stephen Redgrave getting into rowing 😬 😬

 

Ah, happy days

But Hoopy you're not quite the same brick outhouse dimensions as Sir S, I'm glad I never had to play rugby against him (think Jonah Lomu)

 

Did you ever compete at Marlow or have I fallen for something ???

never competed at marlow - i did most of it at uni. I've rowed with Kieran West though (he was my year at my college and now holds an olympic gold medal and an OBE).

 

I got to being the reserve for the uni lightweight B crew. ie pretty good, but not quite challenging for Steve Redgrave's seat.... *wink*

 

OTOH At the 1998 olympics the lightweight 4 winners were faster than all the heavyweight fours except the GB boat. so leightwieght doesn't mean slow.

Without You I'm Nothing (1998)

Without You I'm Nothing

 

Strange infatuation seems to grace the evening tide.

I'll take it by your side.

Such imagination seems to help the feeling slide.

I'll take it by your side.

Instant correlation sucks and breeds a pack of lies.

I'll take it by your side.

Oversaturation curls the skin and tans the hide.

I'll take it by your side.

 

tick - tock x3

tick - tick - tick - tick - tick - tock

 

I'm unclean, a libertine

And every time you vent your spleen,

I seem to lose the power of speech,

Your slipping slowly from my reach.

You grow me like an evergreen,

You never see the lonely me at all

 

I...

Take the plan, spin it sideways.

I...

Fall.

Without you, I'm Nothing.

Without you, I'm nothing.

Without you, I'm nothing.

Take the plan, spin it sideways.

Without you, I'm nothing at all.
