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!

that's obtuse Ian. you know it's not the same thing.

SB - the fact remains it's a checkpointed race. Straight lining on open ground is fair game if the rules dont state it's a disqualifable offence.- IMO. Obviously not in others.

And last year it was only a 2 min pen for missing 1 dibber, to get DisQ'ed you needed to miss 2

i'm off for half mile reps. I'll be back to see how abused I'm getting latter. At least I'm honest about cutting out Ednesor.

*shrugs* whatever.

It's no steam off my piss what people do - I was merely re-capping some of the points made earlier in the thread.

It IS the same thing when it is clear the route must be adhered to. Don't ask me, ask the organisers. I'm not *that* bothered anyway, refer to my earlier post... There was nothing obtuse about my post.

The dibber thing annoyed me this year for obvious reasons...

You brought it up again Pabsey, not me.

I suspect that in the race organisors opinion, ie the only opinion that matters in these circumstances, the cutting of corners would not be 'fair game'.

I doubt they state that 'all competitors must follow this route' for mere shits and giggles. If it was a checkpointed race where you could follow whatever route A. it would say so on the instructions and B. people mostly wouldn't be running the route at all.

But I'm glad you are proud of your dishonest race tactics, Pabsey. Good for you. Whatever.

proud? hmm - not quite what I was trying to convey. I'll ignore the other supercilious comments

Tis funny to mock the alledged cheats - at the end of the day we all largely only race against ourselves so why not marvel in our own performances as oppose worry about those who we do not even know............

wtf is a cunt bucket? or shouldnt I ask? And does my lack of asterixing cunt make me as bad as HBH (and Hendo?) who I think, although I'm often a bit slow, are not the same person
