Many Happy Returns, David.

Bugle call to team FSP
Not much time left to do those hard yards and get your scores in.
We can close the gap between us and team FSG.
You know you can do it.

Your captain has spoken

Gold last year; silver this one. I'm on the downward slope
Hats off to the Canadian guy who put in a fantastic time to achieve gold.

Dear reader I have to admit with a sigh That my limerick tank has run dry................ Did someone mutter"Thank gawd?" But as I pull the plug I won't merely shrug And leave you bereft, high and dry..... .....because here are the first two verses of an unfinished limerick poem entitled &...

An SB for the IRL 2K today of 8:37.0 which improved on my previous best by 5.3 secs.

No problem, Max. Enjoy your break.

Hear, hear

Well done, Lily. That’s a very impressive result.

Whenever you feel that you’re past it
Don’t panic, this feeling won’t last it
Will soon go away
When you row a few kay
No need to pre-order your casket

Hazel & I had the pleasure of meeting Dave and Gaye once only at Boston in 2010. They were a delightful couple and very pleasant company.
We are very sad to hear of Dave's passing.

Clarion call to Team Philip members. You have 10 days left to complete the 1 minute dash and close the gap between us and Team Guy. I’m counting on you

Pepe

I thought my days of PBs were over, but happily managed 285m. for this month’s IRL 1 minute challenge.
This was an improvement of 6 metres.

Many happy returns, Alan. Glad to see you back in action.

Thanks, Jill.
A Happy New Year to you too.

A Happy New Year to all FS.
It's now time to swap your seat at the dining table for a seat on the C2.


The Old Year has now run its course
No turkey nor cranberry sauce
Is left on your plate
So don't hesitate
Row some hard yards with impressive force

An appeal from Team Philip skip:

Please get your entries in, chaps, before you are potentially overwhelmed by a surfeit of rich food and high alcohol consumption which is almost inevitable at this time of year. A Happy Christmas to you all and good rowing

Philip

A description of a visit to the dentist perhaps seen through rose-tinted spectacles

If you suffer from a bout of dental caries
You head off to where the dreaded dentist’s lair is
While relaxing in the chair
You will simply have no care
As the anaesthetic puts you with the fairies

Thanks, Tako. I’m still on the long, tedious road to recovery from the dreaded shingles, but nonetheless I intend to have a go at the distance this month since a recorded time is better than no time at all. Besides that, I don’t want to let the side down.
Full steam ahead for FSP!

We may ponder what life's all about
If we knew, from the rooftops we'd shout
But whatever its purpose
Of time there's no surplus
So rather than rust, I'll wear out

Thanks, Ian. Hope it won’t be too long before I’m back in action.

Thanks, Max, that’s a welcome tonic.

Unfortunately, I’ve been knocked back by an attack of shingles which, amongst other things, has affected vision in my left eye. However, looking on the bright side (through my right eye of course :fsbgrin: ) I had earlier put down markers for our CTC and for Team Philip in this month’s IRL 1 mile. I...
