The Bear is safe and will be presented to the 09 Barry Barry Run Champion Athlete. See attached for details if interested in this cultural event of the summer. All welcome. Last years winner said:


"I still remeber the pain from last year, but I couldn't devalue the competiton as Man U did the FA Cup, so I'll be there"


The bar has been raised again, and again, and again.........


Lasers set tae malky!

I realise people may get hung up on frivolous points like when it starts but I have a few serious queries I would like to put to the Chairman regarding the rules. Mr Chairman if I may ask;


If a contestant puts roller-skates on before the race but does so completely by accident, will they be disqualified? Even though they would be wearing performance enhancing shoes they would not be doing so with intent.


And what if during a tactical overtaking manoeuvre a contestant accidentally runs into the open doors of a No.12 bus and will roller-skates have any bearing on this?

I have it on good authority that HelpMaBoab is en route to God's country and unlikely to make it back online until Tuesday at soonest.


Start time for Barry Barry Run 1pm I believe.


To answer the other two questions Brendan, the only way 'roller-skates' are permitted is if you strap 2 No.12s to your feet. Likewise No.12s. Permitted only when strapped to feet.

Just back from a training camp in Ireland......training going well and last years time is going to be beaten, not by much but surely beaten.


Starting Bell is 1pm however there will be some warm up drills taking place prior to this to enure there are no pulled muscles or similar during the run - 12pm start time for these in the Plough....


Warm down takes place in the Clockhouse as per last year and Barrel Walking should hopefully again be a feature of the event in Bar Story for those still capable.


Hopefully all the info you require is now avaialable. In terms of what to wear, very much up to yourself. Vetran runners may be sporting Rasta Vests again.......


Hopefully see you at the start line at 1pm on 13th June. (12.45pm for registration and vetting of selected beverages to check for conformity)


Ramming speed..................

For those unable to take part due to ill heath, pregnancy, gammy knees or sick notes from Mother, support teams are required to provide water, sponges, first aid, cigarettes, brandy and rescue transport.


>>> this sound absolutely hilarious! I love the idea of 'help points' down Barry Road with supporters handing out crafy Marlboro Lights and shots of gin! Brilliant!

    • That's actually why the Sherlock Holmes stories were so popular. There was so little crime people found it exciting to imagine robberies and murders happening in London.
    • Yes, because of course there were no violent robberies in the olden days. Pretty much no crime happened at all I believe through the entire Victorian era.
    • Hi all, Im a Southwark council leaseholder and live downstairs in a ground floor flat, there is one flat above me, it's a house with individual front doors leading from the street into the shared pathway. My neighbour told me he has had a ring doorbell installed, no discussion as to how I would feel being on camera everytime I go in and out or in my front garden. I was told it's only for deliveries and doesn't record and only activates when pressed, however I don't know this and I feel really uncomfortable everytime I'm out in garden or on doorstep talking to people. Everytime I walk in/out, it lights up and in the eve it has a  infra red  light. Now I've read up that as he said its only for deliveries, he could set it so it only activates when pressed, however it activates with its motion sensor. Had he said to me about getting it installed, I could have had the opportunity to ask about it recording etc but nothing except it's being installed and when I arrived home it was there. I don't like being horrible to people however I feel I have not been considered in his decision and I feel very uncomfortable as, some times I have to stand on doorstep to get signal for my mobile and I really don't like the idea of being watched and listened to. Has anyone got any advice as I'm beginning to get angry as I've asked about it once and was told it only activates when pressed. I believe this is not true. I know southwark council say you need to ask permission to make sure the neighbours are OK with it, I don't really want to go down that road but I don't know how to approach the subject again. They also put a shed approx 3 foot from my back room window, these places are built so my window faces their rear garden and there upstairs window  faces mine. They said it's there temporarily, that was over a year ago and it does affect the light, plus I'm hoping to sell up soon and the view from window is mainly a dark brown shed. When I've mentioned this, I was told they have no where else to put it, whereas originally they said its only temporary, Also the floorboards above are bare and I get woke early morning and at night, the thudding is so bad my light shakes and window rattles, so I mentioned this and asked if they have rugs, I was told when they get the boards re sanded they will get rugs, I should have asked if they could get rugs and just take them up when boards being done, which I would have done had it been me living above someone, their attitude was I can just put up with it until they are ready. so they had the floor boards done, and the workmen was hammering screws, yes screws, in the floorboards, I spoke to workmen to ask how much longer and they said yes, are using screws to make less noise! I could hear the cordless screwdriver, not an issue but for every screw there were at least 8 whacks, the owners had gone out to avoid the noise  so I  spoke to workmen as the noise was unbearable, the sanding, not an issue at all, people need to get things done to their home and I'm fine that on occasions there will be temporary noise. now I have a nice crack on my bedroom ceiling, I mentioned this to owner but no response, he said there were alot of loose floorboards and it will be much better now, not so noisy, as though I don't know the difference between squeaking floor boards and thudding, and nothing was mentioned re the crack or that they now have rugs, which if it were me, I'd be trying to resolve the issue so we can get on with feeling happy in our homes. so I'm feeling it's a total lack of consideration. these places are old and Edwardian and I've lived here over 40 years, had 4 different neighbours and it's only now the noise of thudding is really bad and the people before had floorboards but nothing like this. As you can probably tell I'm really wound up and I don't want to end up exploding at them, I've always got on with neighbours and always said if there's a problem with my dog, pls let me know, always tell me, however I feel it's got to the point where I say something and I'm fobbed off. I know I should tell them but I'm angry, perhaps I should write them a letter. Any suggestions greatly appreciated and thank you for reading my rant.
