Mr Skanky-Creosote...

Just a little ?



MMF

any news yet?

What time does tea time finish in england nowadays ?Surely It's dinner time now

I don't know. I've been holding my breath but it's getting a bit inconvenient. Not to mention tedious. Do you suppose he's in the emergency room getting a stomach pump?

I got 2,43 in the am I might have ta wait till the morning at this rate

Ps do we get our money back if he didn't do it ?

AGM, It's almost 7.30pm in England and I will be very surprised, and relieved, if we hear from Rich tonight.

Part of me hopes he has done it, because I know he won't like being beaten, but the other part of me thinks he could well be if he has.

I have been thinking about him all afteroon.

bucket Oh, I hope not

or perhaps he has had too much of that also

Websailor

*pacing* Good grief! Where is the fool?

Did anybody notice if there was a time limit on this ?

On the other hand I reckon we could be reading about this in the Yorkshire times next week

Young man explodes ,

Stayed up till 5.am last night just to join in the fun , 2.39 am going to bed

Skankyrich,

Where are you We are getting worried. Have you surfaced yet and are you ok

*waits with furrowed brow* .............

Websailor

*worries and frets*

My cheque's not been cashed either.

Maybe he's on his way to deliver what he couldn't eat, to my house

Just watch him be celebrating with some pizza in Majorca while we bite our nails down.





...

*continues pacing*

This is irritating: I see Skanky's on and posting, but he hasn't come here yet, and I'm ready for bed.

So, glad to see you're alive, hoping your presence hasn't become too much more impressive, and all the best to the ponies - g'night.

Taking a long time must be a big one

You'll keep me up all night wondering. Then I'll crawl out of bed and turn the computer back on just to see...

Yes, I am here and still alive!

It was bloody hard. I think the first five or so were fine; after that it got really difficult to eat any more. Cream tea number eight took about half an hour to eat, and I won't go into what happened afterwards as some people may be eating this while having breakfast. Suffice it to say that I had a second wind and almost got to ten...

The worst thing was that I wasn't hungry when I started, despite having not eaten all day. Twenty minutes with the press beforehand didn't help, as most of the photos had Tyla stuffing a cream tea into my mouth for the benefit of the camera.

The important thing was to raise money money for the ponies, and we raised almost £500. This is almost enough for them to pay for volunteer insurance, meaning that they can recruit a team of helpers to ease the burden and take the charity on - Nat does 14 hours a day at the moment with work and running the organisation, so this will make a huge difference. Small amounts make a huge difference to small charities

I should also say that £120 or so of that came through online donations, which is mainly you guys and a few friends that live away, so Nat has asked me to say a huge thanks to all of you as well as you having my eternal gratitude

Press reports as they come in!

Oh; I'd have posted sooner, but yesterday and this morning I was feeling sorry for myself, and tonight I had an enormous backlog of posts to get through. Sorry!

... and as sorry as I am that people were concerned that I was off getting my stomach pumped, it was all worth it it just to envisage GB waiting for me turn up with a scone and Leo getting out of bed to check on me. Forget the ponies, I'd do it again just for those reactions

Well done anyway Rich 2 good things in one weekend , Have to get yourself a bigger hat
