Ive just read the most fantatsic sentence ever to grace the Fellrunner magazine:
"Ian Pudge took a dominant lead heading up the lane from the start...."
Who can guess what happens next?:D:D

Ive just read the most fantatsic sentence ever to grace the Fellrunner magazine:
"Ian Pudge took a dominant lead heading up the lane from the start...."
Who can guess what happens next?:D:D
"And he maintained this lead until with the finish in sight, disaster struck. With only 50 yards to go a suffragette threw herself into his path, seeing the danger Mr Pudge made a desperate attempt to avoid a collision. Garnering all of his inconsiderable remaining strength he leapt over the unexpected obstacle only to land head first into a bin which was about to be emptied into the corporation dustcart. A spokesman for the council later reported that Mr Pudge felt rather crushed by this unfortunate turn of events".Quote:

So do i, fellow neanderthal:D
I've had a shave since this picture was taken.
speaking of the Fellrunner mag, has it been mentioned that Fleeter got the Fell Ponies into the Champs results tables!?
it actually says "Fell Ponies U/A" but that's still pretty cool :cool:
Wow! And I've just noticed a picture and an article by another PonyQuote:

LOVE the Pudgy 'What Happened Next?' posts!! Very funny. (Watch out, Paul Merton..)
Maybe you sent both and the editor reckoned you were the more photogenic:confused:Quote:

When quizzed on the fact that "I thought the ponies had pink vests?"
I replied: "Only the girls and gays!"
Rather cheeky of me, as i gripped tightly to my bright pink MANbag.
I think Fleeter remains the only Pony who manages to carry off the pink vest whilst still looking like a bloke...the rest of you pink wearers look rather suspect...especially Amex:DQuote:

Al Fowler asked "Can i just ask, why 'Fell Ponies'?"
Fell ponies are wild, free spirits of the fells, doing what they wish, as they wish. Galloping elegantly and effortlessly over the uplands, and completely masterless.
Nothing whatsoever to do with the collection of "runners" of the same name then, apart perhaps for a propensity to crap everywhere. Masterless sounds good though :D
99? Did you spell that right Ady ;)
Ian Pudge? Who's he? Sounds like a right ballbag :eek:
Then he realised that the race was in fact heading in the opposite direction where as he infact was heading to the bar, where upon he quickened his stride, safe in the knowledge that he'd have a few under the belt before the first ones back would get there.:DQuote:

Not sure if it was Nick doing the exercises but it's a Fell Pony vest on the 'model'
We certainly pop up in strange places.....I love it..... don't suppose you've been able to identify the rogue or where the picture was taken even?
I can scan in the 'model' and post the pics.Quote:

A pink Fleeter pops up on the 2008 English Champs DVD (says unnattached though) and some real Fell Ponies at the Kentmere Horseshoe race:cool:Quote:
