Glenn · September 2003

I'm 34407. I look a bit like the fat hairy t*sser in the photo.

[Deleted User] · September 2003

Oooh Glenn I thought that was a pint glass you were holding!

Lamby will you have dropped off your bags before meeting at the Portakabin as its nearly a 20 minute walk to the baggage buses from there. (and sometimes they can be anal and not let you on without your number!). We could meet by one of the buses???

I'm getting the 7.00 train from Darlo but at least I get to sleep in my own bed and not some vacated student digs!

P.s. what time does the race start....I told you I hadn't looked at the stuff since I got it (old hand now!)

[Deleted User] · September 2003

Got 'support crew' so no need to drop bags off...

Glenn · September 2003

I'm going to a Northern Soul disco the night before. Or so my brother tells me. If anyone else fancies it I can provide details (it's in Newcastle). Don't all rush at once.

Barkles · September 2003

(looks at floor)

(whistles)

[Deleted User] · September 2003

Northern Soul , will you be wearing the flares Glenn and wing collared shirt ?

[Deleted User] · September 2003

Go easy on the dance floor Glenn! Don't want to pull anything..........muscles that is!

Running Duck · September 2003

I am number 45014 and also have to catch the bus at 7.35am!!!!!!!!11

[Deleted User] · September 2003

Good job I couldnt make it really , I'd have to start travelling at 04:00

< mercury makes note to be prepared next time >

Glenn · September 2003

You do NOT wear flares for Northern Soul Mercs. You wear baggies.

Jj · September 2003

Oooh! With really high waist and lots of buttons?

Glenn · September 2003

You got it Jj! Although I threw out my last pair sometime in 1980.

[Deleted User] · September 2003

Just looked in the draw and I'm No. 26267

...and after I've eaten the meal I'm in the middle of cooking I'll be the one still smelling of garlic on Sunday!

[Deleted User] · September 2003

Found and opened my envelope. I'm 31690.

[Deleted User] · September 2003

Hmmmmmm.....

am number 3276, look like Mr Average, will be wearing forum vest. Raced last weekend so probably running about 2 hours.

Am currently also coming down with cold..... so may not make it at all. Bugger. Last year it was a dodgy knee, it's starting to look like fate...... but really really want to be there so may run anyway, even if I have to sniffle my way round.

[Deleted User] · September 2003

C'mon, Slowboy. If I can, you can.

[Deleted User] · September 2003

Will most probably be there.. only other problem is that we were planning to stay at the folks and when I rang to check it would be ok, there's no answer..... so I just hope they haven't changed to locks or I could be sleeping in the car.

[Deleted User] · September 2003

Changed THE locks even. Doh!

Speedy.G !!!!!!!!! · September 2003

Staying at the Premier Lodge at the Airport. My number is 45110 and I will be the very ovewrweight runner at the back wearing a forum top which is too big so you can't miss me.

[Deleted User] · September 2003

See you at the back, S.G! I'll be the little podgy non-runner who doesn't know what she is wearing.

Running Duck · September 2003

If I can do this ANYONE can!

SG - that description applys to me and I will be walking a fair amount of it.

[Deleted User] · September 2003

number 43259........ the dead looking one near the back who hasn't been able to go out running for 3 weeks and still thinks she can get round.....!!!!!!!! grey shorts, white asics top...red face....

[Deleted User] · September 2003

Just popping in to say good luck and strong running to all you fine FFFers! Hope it's a grand day. I shall watch out for you on the tv, and will be cheering you on.
