Are there any photos of TG2005 anywhere? There aren't any on the website yet and want to remind myself how cold and painful it was.

[Deleted User]

there was a link posted on original thread somewhere.

jj, good to see your name on this list. not sure about your weight training prograame though. dont turn into a carol montgomery perlease 8O(

RichardM

Go on then, and I expect Basstard will be keen to go for five in a row. I am going to wait until the official theme is announced before deciding on fancy dress. They had the Year of Braveheart a few years ago when everyone wore kilts.

Didn't take long.....

2005 "The Year of Nutrition" should see Bass ahead of Rich in 2006. Although he may not fall for the "you're not drinking" ploy again!

[Deleted User]

hop, skip....

[Deleted User]

POUNCE!

[Deleted User]

Is everyone havin' a laugh? The bruises are still there from this year...

[Deleted User]

's true!!

My scabs are still filled with grit!!

But now I'm innoculated aginst the
effects by immersion, I'll go back and try again!

[Deleted User]

Tell me about it H!

I was asked today at the swimming pool if I'd fallen off my bike, oh how I chuckled

[Deleted User]

What do you do about overnight accommodation?

(For Tough Guy, that is, not generally)

Jj

We all go out and have curry and lots of beer (or cider), come back in a muddle, all jump up in the air and sleep in the bed we land in.

Mine was a jolly comfy double.

[Deleted User]

Lucky you Jj, I only had a single! Mind you it was a 'proper' bed as opposed to a bunk so I can't complain )

Calf

Arrr should I shouldn't I????

I now know how how silly it is, but I'd get to start at the front next year!

Decisions decisions

Calf

how even!

[Deleted User]

Yep I can start as a Tough Guy and get even more people pass me!! :-)

[Deleted User]

Thank you. What I meant was do you book into an hotel or is there some other accommodation you use?

fat buddha

waaps - most of us stay at a little hotel close by which has a bunkhouse that sleeps 16 - it will be booked and sorted later (probably by 'dillo who did a great job this year!)

and as Jj says - we go for a curry beers and gas each other all night.......and take the pee out of RichM...........

or you can choose your own hotel and be lonely

[Deleted User]

The bunkhouse is definitely better option )

Could have done with more sleep and less beer though, not that it mattered the next day when soaked to the bone and freezing cold!

Went to dentist with tooth pain last weds and was told I'd snapped half my wisdon tooth off in the race and got an infection in the wound - got to have an op to get at the rest as there's nothing left to get the pliers round - book me in for next year (including the boozing bonus package).
As my grandad always said, I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal labotomy - conveniently, at TG you can have both

your poor ol' thing.

[Deleted User]

had no idea I'd done it - how tough is that?!

I sent Mr Mouse an email to say thanks and sign me up for next year

I reckon we should spike Richard's Ribena Toothkind with some Shandy Bass next year

Jj

Shandy Bass? Didn't Rich beat him?

¦oD

Oh, the wit. Tis unbearable!








No, it really is...!

fat buddha

you mean Basstard as he is now known......

Jj

tsk.
You boys.

He's lovely, AND he went to the aid of a damsel very much in near-fatal distress.

[Deleted User]

Damsels in distress!!!!

OOOooo, amazing what you could do on the day which would normally get your faced slapped in everyday life!!

;-)

[Deleted User]

lol!

I'[ve just been looking at www.sleepmonsters.com

wicked site but I haven't found any TG pix yet... Loads of adventure racing type shenanegans though...
