Fleet League Table 2009



Gents, you'll be aware that this has kind of fallen by the way side for May and June. These were official Fleet holiday months by way of events - there were some, but nothing too major happened. I will be totting up the Blog posts since the end of April when i kind of stopped logging and we'll get them added into the totals, after which i'll be starting with gusto again in July - hope you are up for the challenge of catching me at the top of the table :p

Kind of.

Fleet Summer Xtravaganza 2009



Gentlemen, i'd like to confirm that the Fleet Summer Xtravaganza 2009 will take place on Saturday 22nd August 2009.

Times:
1) BBQ @ Hymers from 12pm (assuming he hasn't sold the house!)
2) Paul Merton's Impro Chums @ the Pleasance at 4.30pm sharp. We will arrive at the Pleasance via shopping trolley from 3.30pm to soak up the atmosphere and search for Les Dennis, Nick Parsons, Dom Delouise and Greg Proops.
3) Pleasance Beers from 5.35pm till 6.30pm.
4) Whatever is in place of the Spiegeltent from 6.45pm after supplementary Chippy.
5) Udderbelly standing by.

Gimmick:
This year we are taking it to the extreme. The gimmick this year is to pick a colour and wear nothing but that colour from head to foot. Example. Hymers has chosen Pink. He will wear Pink trousers, a pink top and no doubt have some pink accessories. It will also no doubt be the same shade of Pink. So, please respond to this post with your colour. Whomever chooses Black is a bore. Brown too ;)

So far:
Campbell - Green
Hymers - Pink
Percy - Powder Blue
C9ck - White
Ollie - Yellow
Coco - Not going.
Tony - Red
Cardo - Orange
Starjamanga - ??????????????????

Introductory Offers:
I am also intending to invite Ensign Lumbo and potential members Ali and Stu to this event.

Remember to reply with your colour choice ;) First cum first served :)

And finally, seeing as nothing else is happening....

I thought i'd publish my woefully bad official running times :)

Yes, i know, it's getting as bad as the Golf photos.

Here they are -->> BOOM <<--

Bupa Great Edinburgh Run Carnage

Check out the photos, now uploaded to the Foto Archive.

Check out the old bloke that nearly beat me. No, not c9ck, the other old bloke. Finished 494th in 44mins 30 secs which wasn't too bad for Edimbourgo. Hoping for a better time two weeks on Sunday at Bellahoustin Park.

Campbell is famous

Some good news on a bleak day....
