The Boat Race (and rowing in general) is not the preserve of "toffs" douglas. I and many of my friends rowed in our younger days, I know plenty of youngsters who do now and none of us is a "toff". However, back to the ridiculous Mr Oldfield (who more meets the definition of "toff" than many of those whose enjoyment he spoiled). What he did was stupid, dangerous and...

as Gromit has pointed out, he has more than just a cat, he has a British wife. That's why this seems such a pointless exercise. He's already spent two months in Wormwood Scrubs, which is reidiculous in itself. He works here as a highly skilled migrant, he pays tax here, and all he's done is upset a boat race. Seems to me he's contributing more than he's costing, which is the sort of person the country needs.
ah, they were probably playing the record in London, then, and everyone was straining to hear it crackling down the wires.
That was probably a lively night out in Manchester in them days. All round to mine for a nice glass of water afterwards.
Last I heard of Farlowe he ran a "war memorabilia shop", which the report hinted was a euphemism for "neo-Nazi". No idea if that's true, though.
Sorry, Orderlimit, going a bit off-topic there. But I've already recorded my opinion on the unfortunate Mr Oldfield. Did he sing Moonlight Shadow on TotP?

Steve.5, all sport can be described as "elitist", if by that it's meant that certain classes of society are excluded from participation, or watching.
at manchester united next year, you'll pay between £41 and £53 for a stand ticket at a premier league game, and £13 each for your kids. For a family of 4 that's at least £108 for one afternoon's entertainment.
can you honestly say that for an ordinary citizen living in moss-side, that that isn't "elitist"?

if his presence isn't wanted what about all the other undesirables, plenty of those they could get rid of first. Rowing may see elitist to some, tennis however is for anyone, it only gets expensive if you are any good, coaching, and getting to venues. And if you are any good there are scholarships in pretty much the same way you can get into uni.
Oh , I do hope he does come to live here!
On scholarships for sport: not, strictly a scholarship, in that he didn't have to apply to get in via some test, but we never had to pay for our son's education at Reed's, a Public School in Surrey, because, at 13, he was adjudged a talented singer. He got excused some lessons and was given professional tuition throughout his time there out of class. A boy a year older had similar treatment and benefit to his parents, because he was good at tennis. His name is Tim Henman. The middle class get all the luck, don't they?

he did live here for a time, whilst studying
