That's right...he was having to walk all the way back to the Clock House after having gone home because he had left his credit card behind the bar!


Did you get your card back?


*tries not to laugh*

Hey guys, thanks for a great day and thanks to Rowan for inviting me along. The Bear looks great on the fire place, will make sure I return it to clockhouse soon. Must say I felt a little sore on Sunday..


Already looking forward to running next year.


Gregory

Yes, well done everybody! A great day out (for the bit I can remember).


@peckhamgatecrasher, hmm, I tend to agree with you. I was one of the dressing-gown wearing flip-floppers - definitely not the ideal choice of footwear. Fortunately, the battle scars sustained by our feet came a distant second to those sustained to our livers...

Hello again Sports Fans


Just a quick note from me to say an absolute huge thanks to everyone who turned up, helped out and wished well. This was certainly my favourite Barry so far and it looks like they're only getting better.


Congrats of course to the winners but also to everyone else who was taken apart. Gotta give some special love to The Dudes in the flip flops, not for running in crazy footwear but for having a White Russian as the drink of choice at the finish line. Pure class of the highest variety, Help Ma Boab n I approve wholeheartedly. And of course to Evil Kenevel who ran in the Gorilla suit, he's spent the last 2 days in MacDonalds trying to regain some of the weight lost during the race.


Thanks to Rufus who put us through our paces with the specialised warm up, keeping the 'Safety First' ethos of the race alive and of course to our lovely starting gun announcer Aodan who's photo above steals the show for me (he's the one in what he claims is not a mankini).


John and Sue (mainly Sue), huge effort on your part and you shall be so rewarded, probably in Guinness.


And finally (not bad for a quick note eh) SMB Barry and the bar staff of the Plough n Clockhouse, big thanks to you and see you next year.


Hope there's not too much Monday DOOM around, if there is, just go back and look at Aodan's photo again


Thanks to everyone, see ya next year for BBRR 2011


ps - Help Ma Boab got the bus. WTF is all that about???

Brilliant pics Mark...great work. As HMBoab says - I can see the Clockhouse running out of tables if numbers increase further! Apologies to all that I was unable to attend on the day (MrsBen hopefully made amends) but it looked Barry indeed.


And Bobby thats a barry vest you were sporting there...

Hi

Now if it had been one of my trains he had travelled on I would have been impressed!!


I would also like to state that my colleague abd I had a great day and thank you all for the warm response. Next year I will run the event in the "Fat Controllers" outfit.... just for the fun:))

In case anyone was worrying, I just got news from Greg that Barry is happy in his new (temporary) home. Remember that Greg - it's only temporary! Would look much better on my mantelpiece. Just as well I'm not bitter in the slightest.

    • For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that
    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.     
    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.
