    Toffee- I appreciate what you are trying to say but, if you are honest with yourself and read back, I never started the accusations. I know disabled people who were on the prom that day and I was offended, whether it was off the cuff or not, by the comments made.

    • I didnt start calling people idiots
    • I didnt start asking for aplogies
    • I didnt tell people to 'back down'
    • I didnt insult someone's intelligence
    • I didnt insult people on a low wage  

    All my responses were in answer to what were, direct comments to me. So drop the forum clique attitude and see where this all started.

    Out of respect for Alan and the fellow forumites on here I shall not bother to feed the troll.

    Well ladies and gents, I kind of hoped that the thread might have reverted back to the helpful, light-hearted, friendly toned thread that I originally found when I came across it. I'm not one who enjoys confrontation and I'm finding it a little uncomfortable to read others disagreements. After a couple of unsuccessful attempts at trying to make light of some of the posts, I have decided to hop of and leave. Before I go, thank you to ALL of you for your help with my sometimes daft questions.

    Will catch you all on other threads for future fun races I'm sure!

    Happy running all!

    Morning guys.

    My goodness what a difference a week makes eh? Last week we were baking in warm sunshine! image This week I can't make up my mind whether to go for a run or get out a canoe!image

    Welcome to Britain, I suppose.....still, the garden's thankful!image

    hi liverbird, did you find any pics of myself(857)? true about the weather, my little boy loves playing in the garden and he's nearly crying behind the door shouting something that sounds like garden(poor thing). Hopefully it'll turn out nice again by the end of the week, are you doing the big heart 5k?

    You sound like George Formby, Boothy! "turned out nice again!" image

    I shall have a look through the snaps for you!

    I'm away for big heart 5K unfortunately, but I've signed the cheque for next year's half! image

    george formby- the legendimage. Thanx liverbird. Like ive stated before,i only started running this year and was thrown in at the deep end with the liverpool half. I really enjoyed it and a group of us are supposed to be doing it again next yr, however i'm being told the wilmslow half on the same day is even better, why can't they put them on 2 seperate days!image

    Dear all - I'm concerned at the tone and content of of some of the posts over the last couple of pages.

    It seems the debate has gone off message somewhat!! Overall I think the Tunnel 10K went really well and I look forward to doing it again next year.

    Please forgive me if I don't make any further contributions.

    (Boothy - the Wilmslow Half is indeed a good race although the environment is completely different. Our race date is governed by the availability of the Liverpool Arena).

    Boothy 4. The Wilmslow 1/2 is run predominately on country roads and is therefore completely different to a city centre race. Having said that it is very well organised and has pb potential (if you can get  a reasonable start position). It's one to do in the future along with Helsby and Chester, all have similar course profiles (or at least my times on each course are similar).

    Boothy -Wilmslow is good, but Liverpool is great.image

    I prefer it when they fall on different weekends too, as I'd like to do them both.

    I might even give Congleton and Macc a go next year! image I know JPenno is doing both and Warrington on consecutive weekends this year and it sounds quite a nice challenge.

    Thanks for the support so far - great start but still a way to go. I am in the ballot too for the VLM but I am not holding my breath as this is the first time I have tried. I agree this thread has been a great one but recently some offensive comments to just about the whole of the UK population ( including conservatives ! ) I am signing off this one now but would like to thank everyone and wish you all the very best for the future - visit my justgiving site for updates ! & donations ! Hope to see you o other threads soon. Bye !image

    You can join the Great North club (£30 for 3 years subscription) and get advance entry to all the Great runs before the ballot. You still have to pay full whack for each race but you will be guaranteed entry.

    So it will only cost you a minimum of £165 for three races, assuming that the price didn't rise! image

    Which it will......image

    LB - I ran past Raffa's house last night and there were two LFC scarfs hanging on his gates. Do you think they were left by Messrs Gillete / Hicks? No for sale sign up yet.

    Could well be! The house looked deserted although it's that big you probably wouldn't know if anyone was in!

    I was not in Milan - I was in the bay of Biscay on this

    David Fairclough was on board (much to Mr LB's delight) and he spoke to him about Rafa. Fairclough fancies the job himself! He probably couldn't do any worse......image

    Anyway - what's all this talk of you actually RUNNING Alan? I thought you were getting too long in the tooth for all that nonsense?imageimage
