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


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



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.

    • Hi all, Wondering if anyone else in/around SE22 is also having the unfortunate luck of having Evri parcels delivered by a very rude individual? Whenever we have parcels delivered, our front gate is being slammed open and closed, ring doorbell is harshly banged (not pressed) followed by simultaneously banging on the door knocker and slamming the letter box multiple times. Someone is normally home by the time they come in the evening and never has to wait long for an answer. If we’re not home, we speak to them on the doorbell so we do find the actions of this individual unreasonable and rude.  We have tried a couple of times politely asking that they not do this but they are very dismissive and gives a passive-aggressive “have a nice day” reply.  Has anyone been able to contact Evri and successfully had any issues similar to this resolved? We have enough evidence through our doorbell footage but we are lost with what else we can do. We’ve tried asking politely but don’t want our gate or door damaged by someone who simply doesn’t care and lacks basic manners.    If anyone else is having this issue or has any advice on how we can report this, it would be much appreciated. After another dismissive reply to my concern this afternoon, I will be calling Evri tomorrow to raise a complaint. I have lost my patience with them 
    • Corbyn was unelectable - he got trashed by Boris who was a buffoon. It was a good job too because I would have hated to see Corbyn and his rag-tag bunch of far-left university politics backbenchers try to lead the country through Covid.  It is completely understandable why Starmer and the Labour Party want to purge Momentum from within their ranks and Cllr McAsh has fallen victim of that.
