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!

Ok, never having seen that site before I had no idea. Also not been "in here" much, only having decided to "formally" embrace XC with my club this winter.
That sounds brilliant, Curly.

No worries Frobster - the whole site is a bit of an in joke - the forums are weird and scary at the same time!

Last year was my first season and I loved it so hopefully you will too :)

Ah, cheers for the heads up. Sometimes takes a while to whittle one's way through any in-joke's outer shield!

I hope so too - xc was my first love (and it will be my last? Sorry for the earworm!) so this is a bit of a return to all that. My secondary school backed out onto Dartmoor so I was up on the tors most lunchtimes doing out and backs up the hills. Add a whole load of team-mates and tea and baps afterwards, what's not to love!

Tea and baps? (*) (*)

I wouldn't go near the forums at EightLane without half a bottle of vodka inside me. It's like 4Chan for affletes.

Er, and 4Chan is? (Another in-joke I assume).

I reckon half a bottle of vodka and I'd do most things.

Except possibly run in a straight line.

(4chan is a bulletin board, Frob)

4Chan is where courtesy is just a word beginning with C.

Ok, thanks for the enlightenment. I wish I could say my life was enriched now, but I'm not sure I can.

It's richer than it would be should you ever venture into 4Chan.
