Which rowing machine

[Olly]

That barely scratched the surface of rowing-speak! I ought to tell you all about "catching crabs", which isn't what it sounds like but can be just as embarrassing.

knuckles of my left hand are still scarred (was more of a skuller). River lee (or is it lea) in east london certainly made cuts nice and icky.

to be fair, schoolboy rowing is not particularly advanced as there's not much competition.
