FNRttC PROVISIONAL 2012 dates

[ceepeebee]

The Everley pregnant brothers are ace, a bunch of chaps from Sheffield including Pete McKee, one of my favourite cartoonists.

the Big Brighton FNRttC is no more - so I'm doing some re-arranging of dates in July and August. I'd rather not go over this on the forum, so if you're overwhelmed with curiosity, do please send me an e-mail. On the plus side I do have another date that weekend - my eldest is expecting her first on 30th August

Congratulations on the forthcoming grandparenthood.
Shame about the Big FNRttC- the Martlets ride last year was great fun, was looking forward to more of the same.

 

[GrumpyGregry]

Next door neighbour "West Ham" Ros will be disappointed.

Congrats Grandad. FN granbaby ride next summer?

 

[mmmmartin]

I agree entirely with Simon's decision. I especially agree with his point in the email about reputational damage.
I loved every minute of the Martletts ride and was proud of what we did.
Plainly, the idea of riding at night is so good that lots of others agree with us.
Let's do our own thing, and the big charities do theirs to the best of their ability.

it's a thought, but it might be better to wait until 2014 when he or she will be ready for his or her first breakfast beer

oh, and if any of you want to stay alive, best not mention the phrase 'step-grandma'.....

will "hot-step-grandma" be acceptable?

I apologise if you think I’ve let you down.

What a load of tosh!
The day you let me down will be:
a) When you don't nod off just as the brown and yellow begins to flow.
b) You ban the step-granny from attending rides
c) I see you sitting in Look Mum No Scruples Hands, with Boris Johnson and Lembit Opik, discussing menswear, pop stardom and the Cheeky Girls. (Old Slags obligatory.)
Now the heat is off organising, you can check out that Swiss Account you started in the name of 'Ernesto' - your pet budgie...there may be enough for a Bugatti I mean a buggy.
Cheers Simon (I'm sending back my Martlett's medals in protest - and asking them to keep the one that I didn't get last year...possibly Ros didn't get one either?)

 

[Sketchley]

Medals? There were medal?

 

[dellzeqq]

all change - I've yet to run these by Agent Hilda, but it looks a bit more balanced than it did - and I'm avoiding a clash with the Moonriders, because if they do come to grief, I don't want to be around!​

I got two.

 

[GrumpyGregry]

Medals? There were medal?

You get these medals for everything these days. I've only been a fun-runner for a year and I've got dozens of the damn things. What are you supposed to do with them?
