I'm not deliberately contrary. The one thing I do enjoy doing that the other RDs don't do, is start the run on time. We start at 9:30am in NI, and that is the time I blow the whistle. It catches folk out every time.

MRS S - I'm outspoken and always will be, i often say what others are thinking.

There is a weekly photo theme ?

Missed that, the though I am no longer involved with anything properly.

I visit Ndellar at Stafford and believe i have volunteered there more than I have run it.

My new local is Bedworth, small and pleasant, has a nice cafe and I think I am 50/50 but I got agitated on my ladt volunteer as I used the phrase oh I'm just here to help and someone went off on the whole hero thing. It's parkrun not world war 3. Hero's make sacrifices, save lives often they die. This is 60 mins so people can have a jog. Let's keep it real folks :-)

EDISON - Love a parkrun that starts on time. :-)

More than welcome over here Gobi. You'd win, and I'll say the word `win; just to annoy others. "I know there are no winners in parkrun except when I win". I do enjoy saying that.

A load of fast boys came down to a local event here a few weeks ago but I noticed the `first finisher' was unknown in the results. I assumed no barcode, but was later told he had been removed form the results because something was said. What, I have no idea.
