Indeed last year was a good event and hope to see you on this years run. A hurdle was considered at the Barry Off Licence this year - bit like in the steeplechase but the hurdle would have been some form of short and a barsnack!


Instead of water sponges, beer sponges are required for the event although once running commences and the thought of another pint and a short at the clockhouse becomes a reality the last thing I needed last year was another "iso" tonic drink on the run!

Good Morning Sports Fans,


This mornings note is just a gentle reminder that next Saturday 13th June sees the 2nd Barry Barry Road Race back in action for another year. Hopefully your training has gone according to plan and we are now all able to down pints and run for 0.8 miles without breaking a sweat or being sick. Lovely Jubbly.


For those who are planning on attending could you please repl or pp me back and let me know if you are running or supporting (also known as professionally drinking). It'd be good to get an idea of numbers and of course we need volunteers for support staff (people who get the 2nd lot of drinks in).


The die hard competitors amongst us will be meeting at the Plough at 12pm for a thorough warm up (at least 2 pints) with the starters gun planned to go off at 1pm.


Hope to see you on the starting line


Bary Barry Bob

Surf Bob


Been putting the miles in and pounding the roads. Slight peevers elbow was encountered on last saturday training run but will defo be in plough fir noon to undertake some warm up drills.


Plan on keeping my poweder dry for the first half mile then finish with a flourish.


Another Barry day beckons.


Cheers and CHARGE......................

EK famous for 2 things.


1. Making the jump and sticking the landing. 2. Making the jump and failing to stick the landing. As you well know SurfBob, my failure to stick the landing looks like winning this bout. Unlikely to run but will be there for the full session. May enter the HMB class and walk it slowly.


Too many bones.

Final training runs completed, bulking up on bar snacks now.


Can debate the shot in pint approach during the pre race warm ups.


Nice to see the council have been out and trimmed back the trees on the route for the Run.


Last years champion runner will be back to defend the Barry Bear, wonder if station master Barry is about saturday so Barry can present the Barry Bear to the Barry Barry Run champion athlete for 2009. Now, that would be Barry.


Good luck and all the best in sport. Its been a punishing schedule but I'm confident to beat my PB of last year. Throughout my build up the words of my mentor kept popping into my head:


"life is like an ashtray, full of little doubts"


Lasers set tae malky!..........

So I could present to myself you mean!!


Joking aside, I would love to attend this event, maybe good to meet a few people and have a beer!..... as an added bonus to the winner there will be a pair of tickets to anywhere on the south coast (southern route)courtesy of Southern Railway

Well there's no point in me turning up this year! I cam second last year and he's got no slower, and I've got no quicker...


Besides, I'm doing 20 miles the next day on the North Downs, so not up for big beers if I do turn up!


Though I do have a cunning plan in mind....

My gut tells me "marjorie" isn't really a concerned mother - but let's say that she is


Are you for real? 15 unhealthy people running .8 of a mile and you (who probably hates the government and the nanny state and health n safety) want to call the police? And report what exactly?


feck it I've changed my mind - ring them but please, can I listen??

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
