More importantly - if you look at this shot, just behind no 14 you can see my Keighley vest and my shorts and legs.
Though Emmi, that headband and top, red and pink what were you thinking?

me too ady - 7th to the stoop and then overtaken by 7 or 8 on the way down. What did you have on your feet? (maybe that's where you went wrong - that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it:rolleyes:)Quote:

2005 28.52 286 42.44 1.48
2006 30.12 322 46.03 1.53
2007 29.07 227 42.33 1.46
2008 32.11 288* 46.25* 1.44*
(* estimates from incomplete results)
The winning time at The Stoop is particularly affected by mud and varies a lot but it is interesting (to me anyway) to compare this with the time of the runner half way down the field who will be affected to a similar degree.
Not surprisingly the larger the field the higher this ratio ie the bigger the field the "weaker" the field but a cursory look at Sundays (incomplete) results suggests that everyone was affected similarly by the mud/wind.
[quote=GrahamB;179303]How would that explain the fact if I had done a previous faster time yesterday when I was 7oth or so, i would have been in the 40's, just a weakened field with less top runners, being able to run in the conditons, local knowledge or all of the above. Answering my own question in was very icy last time possibly allowing faster "road" type runners to stretch out more. I was 3 minutes slower than before (from poor memory) but only dropped about 15 places.Quote:

Must go, I am xmas cleaning to Billy Fury ..... "When I get tired and feeling low, I think of the places to go, In summer, in summmmerrrrrr................"
Actually Billy is not very Xmassy, will switch to another Rockn'Roll classic

Genius transcends rules so I can still like Bob Dylan and Randy Newman: as I do.
ahh but there were some classics in the post R&R pre Beatles period, for example it does not get any better than this

apologies for the video (though it is entertaining in its own way) and I bet most of the over 40's on the forum use the same moves.
I haven't really thought about British music in the early 60's, well since the early 60's, but I do recall I loathed it all as second rate, bland, watered down "covers" of american pop. Seems I was right.Quote:

Sorry I appreciate this is boring to everyone else, will stop now. Graham if you are at Lothersdale later can we have a chat about the political impact of Jan and Dean on contempory culture :).
