I'm Christian Bale.

I'm your father.............. oh wait, wrong actor!

I don't wear pants.........
knickers all the way for me!

No, I'm Christian Bale....… sorry, wrong film

Sounds good! I'm in (along with Master and Miss CW)

Please do a vlog of the funny accent hour.

I'm Christian Bale and so is my wife

beer mat flipping too please, place beer mat slightly overhanging table edge, flip up with back of fingers and catch in same hand immediately.

Our first actual suggestion Thanks RB2

You are Big Chief Running Bore and I claim my turkey drumstick.

Touch the Mince Pie. Everyone puts one finger on a mince pie and the last one to take their finger off gets to eat it. Or gets to give it to someone else if there is norovirus going around.

Ooh it's a blog and a thread. And a delicious cake. And a new way of combing your hair.

Balancing coins on your elbow and then flipping them into your hand. (World record is 328 10p coins)

Pants to be worn on the head?

Hot chocolate moustache competition

I've just seen on FB, but can't seem to link & share, but POOP THE POTATO!!!!

(it's on You Tube!)

What the holy camel is Ping Pork? Is it an actual thing? Dare I google?

Who can lick their own elbow...

Dammit, it seemed so easy.

love it

Sprout tennis. Take one sprout (uncooked - very important), a small frying pan each, then bash said sprout back and forth between you, occasionally yelling 'that sprout was in!' in an American accent. Useful to have a third person to umpire (sprout eye)

Line dropped from me too, and a pledge

I considered my subscription to be a payment in arrears for the great site you provide us. Thus I'm happy to pay monthly from the start.
Good luck (not that you'll need it)!!

I also have fmailed you, count me in.

Just let us know how to get the dosh to you k?

I fmailed you too. But I doubt you'll be short of freelance work offers either once prospective employers see what you have done with this site.

I haven't fmailed, but would be willing to pay monthly

If you want to change to the bank from paypal let me know.

Have fmailed you.

Good luck with your new found freedom! Happy to continue contributing

Have also fmailed.

It's like the opposite of Brexit: good stuff will come of it, people will be nice to each other and there will be no involvement from Boris Johnson or Nigel Farage Very happy to contribute, just let us know how x

Exciting times ahead indeed. I plan to send Fmail tonight

Being freed from the Corporate Shackles is excellent news!

Do you want to put a number on what you think membership is worth (apart from being absolutely priceless, obviously!)

Mark - I think it's up to you really - no-one should feel uncomfortable with what they can or can't do.

Capitalism is dead, long live Fetch ! Actually it could be great to be independent -and without a referendum too !

Maybe you should put a Donate button on the site for people who'd just like to donate the price of a cup of coffee if they don't want to do a monthly sub? And maybe have a couple of suggested monthly amounts to give people some guidance? Otherwise people might feel it's a bit vague. You could use some sort of running kit unit perhaps, after all people are happy to shell out for a new sports bra or pair of shoes or capris on a regular basis, and personally I'd be happy to contribute a pair of running socks' worth a month

Happy to donate. The politics thread is way better value for money than the Guardian.

I think a donate game, with cups of coffee, cayke, soup and loaves of bread, tins of beans, and as the donate buttons are pressed (and you donate the price of that item) the graph/stack of food adds an icon. You can then choose to "feed Fetch" (yes that's the new game name), where you can see what has been bought before and choose to drown him in scotch eggs, or milk, or get him something more extravegant that he's carefully posted (say posh coffee?). This really needs to materialise into an exact reality of what he actually ends up getting into his house (his only control is what he puts on the donate options).

If only Tesco (*other supermarkets do exist) had a wishlist you could share for other people to buy items for you, and when you hit "deliver" it closes the list (emtpy or full) and they drive it over. It could be the new face of food banking/student feeding/neighbour helping/elderly/vulnerable. Donors can see it and it gets posted onto a generalised local map so you can buy food for people local to somewhere of your choice that *they actually need*.
The supermarket integrates with it socially (like it's donation bins at the entrance) to encourage everyone to buy something from a crowd funded shopping list when they complete an order online.

There you go Ian, a completely new social concept that needs a webmaster. Food shopping crowdfunding. I think it could work. If only Tesco have an API...

When you get the award, please give me a mention for the crazy idea in the first place.

oh and good luck with the same old venture. Hope they don't make you move office.
Ant

I'm happy to subscribe Ian fmail me the details I need to use

Did we vote for this ?

Ive been a bit slow on renewing my subscription, but will do over the Xmas hols when I have some time on my hnds

Or we could buy hamsters to power the wheel that makes the server go more quickly. I kind of like the idea of buying virtual hamsters

I like both of the ideas from Fleecy. I'd definitely buy a hamster (I'd like a golden and white patched one please). And they don't live very long generally do they so it wouldn't be all that long most likely before I needed to buy another. I'd chuck in a pair of running gloves in the winter too...........

I'm happy to contribute, especially as the money will be going directly to you and not via paypal or the Rodale people.
Best wishes going it alone, I have every confidence that the site will continue to be awesome.

Signed up for the monthly coffee. Least I can do following the boost you gave me at Bedford and putting together and continuing to run such a fantastic website.

nice one and me been a member on here since 2007 and love it, I will be looking to donate in the new year to especially as no conglams involved

is there a problem if I continue to use the monthly subscription service? does the money go somewhere else?

I don't want anything to do with hamsters, thank you

Spoon on chin - longest time wins

Should I cancel my monthly subscription or will that do the job #confoogled

Fmail from me too

I do, but I'm away and not back home til 9ish tomorrow. Drop me an fmail if you're still stuck then

The OH is able and willing tonight.

I've got Gimp Mr F, if you'd like.

I'm a bit late seeing this but tomorrow would be ok if you're still stuck.

are you sorted? (Anything to avoid Christmas shopping (websites)).

Yes, I'm ok now

Have joined the group - only have a Fitbit Alta though, possiby one of the less sophis models.

Are we going to show Steps and Sleep if we're going all FitBitty? (My Garmin does all that mince too. And HR if you've got the optical one - I wonder how long before it will log and store how often you pee and whether you ate broccoli for dinner?) G

At the moment, I'm just aiming to get the TCX data for runs and rides (and swims, if it does swimming)

Fitbit famously don't do 'wet' apart from the Pulse2(?) - the sports super watch (Surge I think) has to be taken off in the shower. It's a shame because there's so, so much to like about Fitbit kit - the 'dayside only' thing is a PITA too far for me at least (I've got a One and a Charge - I have some experience).

The beta is working now, if anyone would like to try it: http://www.fetcheveryone.com/fitbit.php

I like I tend to use Garmin data as it seems to be more accurate, but it will be really useful to be able to upload treddy runs, which my FitBit seems to pick up, and to have it when I forget to take my Garmin to parkrun. Is it just listing old runs (beginning of November) cos it's a beta?

Voted! Hope you win! Awesome website and community!

Fantastic Fetch - does this pull weight data measured using the Fitbit Scales too?

Well raced

excellent - well done

Nice running.

Nicely paced. Just need to add some speedwork for the mad last dash to the line ;-).

Mile 11-13 is grim no matter how well you've trained, but great pacing there

Awesome. Good pacing, good analysis. So, next time round: long runs *and* speed work?! You know it makes sense! G

Super, well done

Well done! More hill training for next year then?

Well done

Evenly paced run - great effort

Job done, well done!

Well done

Nice work!
It's almost always a good idea to control made urges
Beautiful pacing, sir.

Well Done, great running!!

Nice meeting you. Thanks for the boost. Nice to hear your run went well.

Sorry that we missed it. Hope you all had a good time.

It was nice We'll definitely do it again.

delighted to have made it - lovely company

Sorry I wasn't there - poorly at the moment. Hope there'll be another one

Wow is all

That's a lot of Fetchies!

Glad to see you've had a shave now.

So disappointed to have missed you all, just couldn't fit it in. Hope there will be a next time

Sorry to have missed this. Spooky how many doppelgängers turned up.

We would have been there if xc league had answered ours pleas to reschedule today's event

Sorry I missed it woke up with the lurgy - hope there will be another soon

Sorry I missed it. But we did win a 'first' rosette at the other running thing (it was the dog doing the running though). Hope you all had fun.

Looks fab

Also I was wondering where this fetch mob was, but couldn't see it anywhere on the site! Hope it was good.

Belated apologies for my absence

Great event. Bring on the cake.
