Muntz. I can't believe that with all your quizzing prowess you still thought Red Bull was milk based.

I'll have to put it on your "Things you used to believe which turned out not to be true" thread.

I'd thought it was something like Nurishment, for some reason. No idea why, I just did. Imagine my surprise when I actually tasted it!
It did seem to give me an energy boost, admittedly. |
|
By:
I find it revolting stuff I have to admit. Only time I drank it was with vodka, used to be able to stay out later than I normally would. Don't do that anymore.
|
|
By:
I probably would have it again - if I were doing an all-day walk when I'd had almost no sleep the night before . . .

I only ever use lucozade sport for running. energy drinks and gels and stuff are big business now, Triathletes and long distance runners spend quite a lot and do a lot of research in getting the right drink/gel/snack bar for during the race.

I had six pints and a massive plate of chips. Seemed to do the trick.
15 quid overnight from Aide 'I'm not gay but I DO moisturise a lot' Rushton and Ruth 'I've not spoken to in 15 years' Doughty! |

By:
I had a couple of bottles of lucozade, too. My brother - ex-marathon runner - provided us with some fruit bars. Tommy Toes suggested (Stupidly, I didn't ask him until afterwards) I should have taken jelly babies for the day itself, and eaten pasta the night before. Overall I was quite happy with my energy levels at the end of the walk; nearly all my discomfort came from my ankles and calves.
|
|
By:
Yes, I've used jellybabies (and similar) sweets before when on long runs. The gels are sickly so I don't use them

Your contacts doing very well, Sparky!

lol Matt and Rachel are new Yearbooketeers. Rhiannon has given us all the she could without going overdrawn, which is kind of a new take on the 'all that I have' Jesus story! She was also the girl we wrote the website address on at my birthday party!
|
|
By:
She didn't charge a fee?
|
|
By:
No although...I probably bought the majority of the drinks!

|
By:
Whose big sister is that? A very generous 25 quid! Can't believe we're STILL getting donations!
|
|
By:
Martin's big sister. And, strangely enough, mine!
|
|
By:
Hurrah! Been an interesting thing, getting sponsors, very few of my 'best' friends have sponsored, but a lot of other people I know have.
|
|
By:
ttt for any last scrapings from drunken big winners!
|
|
By:
Well done to all participants. A great effort!
|
|
By:
Ha ha! Well done Mark Little - and Muntz's sister.
|
|
By:
Yes - well done Mark Little, his portrayal of lovable rogue Joe Mangel added a comic element to Neighbours, which made the early 90s a golden period of the show.
Actally while we're about it, can I also thank my mate Dave Little for sponsoring us on our walk. |
|
By:
Ha ha!! have I got the name wrong - again?!
|
|
By:
yes!

I don't think Rach fill the shirt out as well as Muntz or myself, but at least she got some use out of it - emergency festival wear!
http://i34.tinypic.com/2wp5us2.jpg And yes, www.justgiving.com/fourcanal is still accepting funds! |

Rachel
 |

By:
I think she looks just the weensiest bit better in it than you or I did, Sparky!
|
|
By:
Yeah...well...she's got make-up on and stuff.
Still, wouldn't mind a big handful of Penkridge right now. |
|
By:
Laying my head in Stoke looks a bit more comfortable than last time I did it!

Only a week to go until the appeal closes!

Thought I'd recover a Sparkmaster thread in his memory. Perhaps we could all rescue one from the archives when we get a spare moment?
