Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

The message when you complete the whole sorry task of entering the ballot 'we will send you a message shortly' is not wholly correct.

In my world shortly in this electronic age maybe 1 hour or 2 hours later.

Think again. In Virgin FLM world shortly means 16 hours later.

I applied last night. Had confirmation payment had been made a few minutes later. At lunch time just now I received confirmation my application had been received.

The start time for Virgin FLM 2010 is at 0930 hrs give or take 16 hours. Or start when you like.

How about this for an idea for 2011.

Print loads of A4 sheet application forms.

Stick em in a magazine.

Place said magazines in shops.

Applicants complete and post with cheque.

AND WW you had to actually be fit enough to walk to a sports shop to get said mag and truely interested enough to remember to do so.

I am no elite runner but how many ppl have entered the new system and if they get a place in Oct will think 'shit - didn't mean it - got carried away watching it'

I don't care how long ppl take to do it. All who do it with the intention of finising are worthy of respect and an inspiration to others but.................

maybe entries shouldn't open for a month and then only ppl that really want to do it would bother
