The Barry Road Race - Saturday 13th June 2009 13:00

[????]

Damn you Captain :X

[annaj]

Am I the only person who can't make the Barry Barry site move horizontally, so can't see more than the first two photos?

[reetpetite]

NO I cant either but if you click on the bit of photo showing it will come up.

[SeanMacGabhann]

The site is set to be 100% of the viewers screen size so it should auto adjust

Is your browser on max - ie the top right corner X - is the box next to it a single square or a layered square? Try clicking it to see if it makes a difference

[RosieH]

I had the same problem Sean, and my screen was maxed.

However, clicking on the images brought them up full size, so unless there were more that were off to the right somewhere, I could access...

[reetpetite]

Me too.

[SeanMacGabhann]

Ill look into it

[SimonM]

Another clip

(with apologies for the Godardesque hand-held camera shake...)

[SeanMacGabhann]

sorry this has turned into tech corner, but as so many people seem to be having teh same problem

I have used 4 different browsers to view the site (Firefox, Safari, Chrome and IE7) and all bar IE7 were working just fine. IE7 showed the site fine as well unless it was not maxed

I have tried the same thing on 3 different computers as well and can't replicate the problem - however there is never more than 3 pics across and most of them are on the flickr link as well so no-one should miss out

Simon - good to meet you on Saturday - do you mind if I add the video to the website?

[Strawbs]

We will definitely be there next year.. we were a little sore to have to miss out.. o'well roll on 2010 I say!

[LegalEagle-ish]

Thanks Simon, for letting me know how big my arse still is!

[Moos]

Shucks, missed the race again, but managed to catch a little bit of the aftermath, and the glowy Allycat with her sparkler, as well as a number of other glamorous Forumites and LE's sweet dog.

And sincere apologies to Mr. Jones for my very obvious amazement when he turned out to be a very normal and nice-looking young man and not the Fat Controller. Ahem.

>>Thanks Simon, for letting me know how big my arse still is!:D

[Rowanofski]

What a cracking event it was too. I doth doff my cap to the worthy back-to-back champion. I'm distraught at my weak finish, but have already been rethinking the strategy for next year. It's all about the run - I think Paul had almost a minute's recovery before we even showed up at the Clockhouse! It must have been the pit stop we made for a Tennent's Super at Barry Off License on our way down...

Very impressed with everyone's efforts really. Thanks again to the organisers. Loved it.

[SeanMacGabhann]

Oh what a slow eeejit I can be - I have only just twigged which runner Rowanofski is/was!

A sterling effort on your part I thought but your post did remind me that A N Other runner was so incensed at the same person winning 2 years running that he vowed, in front of witnesses to train properly EVERY day from now until next year to ensure that HE would be the one to beat Paul

Now, would it be mean to name this person in public?

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

No. It just means as a group we can give loving encouragement when he starts to wobble with the training.

Out him. NOW!

[Brendan]

Be rude not to.

[david_carnell]

Shut up Sean. The beer and unaccustomed bout of physical activity can do funny things to a mans sense of bravado.

[Moos]

Ha ha - I would have put ???? on its being Carnelli.

(I set 'em up...)

[SimonM]

>>Now, would it be mean to name this person in public?<<

Only right and proper: otherwise the withering fingers of scorn may get pointed at coves totally innocent of ludicrously grandiose claims....Fair dos

[SeanMacGabhann]

The boy done outed hisself

[SimonM]

Leeds United syndrome...big themselves up then fall out of the play-offs....B)

[Keef]

With regards, the website (which I've not looked at yet), could it simply be that people have got their screens set to different resolutions? Simple, but seems the obvious reason.

[MrBen]

Hi guys,

Hopefully you can see all the pics on Flickr now

If not try this direct link:

They show the build up in chronological order - from Surf bobbys arrival at The Plough at 12.24pm to the aftermath at 3.15pm

If you click "show info" on top right you can get the captions to each pic. The pause /play button for the slideshow is on the right.

If the pics dont come up click the link "back to Barry Barry Set" then select the slideshow option.

Let me know how you go....

Mr Ben (Barry Barry Press Officer)

[Brendan]

Who did "Marjorie" turn out to be then?
