Oh, sorry is it Trev? Glove puppet?

I think that was Gilbert O'Sullivan's first proper hit, wasn't it? I remember watching him on Top of the Pops when I was young.

Well that's 50 years ago - so obviously very young!

And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

Synchronicity or what! (Or what, actually.) I've just finished listening to In Our Time on (yes, you've guessed it) Radio 4 on the topic of Macbeth. (I missed the first part of it because I was posting on this forum!) The above speech got a mention (but the FRA Forum didn't, I'm afraid). I now feel like I'm an expert on Macbeth!

Talking of Synchronicity:

I absorbed the blow.

Stick with me kid, you could learn so much; although as Dorothy Parker said

You can lead a whore to culture, but you can't make her think.

[Flem]

Culture? What's yoghurt got to do with anything? (I won't repeat the very crude question I heard someone ask in relation to culture.)

Thanks Mossdog that is truly poetry in motion, little did I realise all those years ago when I first saw this how true to my own life that poem and short film would become (but no string vest, rather a technical vest).

4hrs a day on the hills (Minimum) regardless of weather, 7 days a week has been and still is my goal. Hopefully I will be able to maintain this for some time to come.

That video and the poem are just beautiful and pretty much capture the whole essence of fell running. There should be a thread about it all to itself in fact - Mossdog over to you... (or is there a thread already?)

PS the only times I've ever run up Stoodley Pike have been my four or five bashes at the Haworth Hobble and never once have I looked so calm and relaxed at the top

Couldn`t agree more Fellbeast (or Stolly as I prefer to remember you}

I've also only been up there on the Hobble... i have a photo from one year (i think it was the year i beat
Fellbeast ) showing me leaving the summit... caused great mirth amongst my non-running friends, as the guy behind me had stopped mid-race and taken a full camera out to take a picture of the monument... it confirmed to my friends that most fellrunners were loopy!
