Mazeltov!

Calm, Hoppo, calm. It was a race, not a wet 'skimpy vest' contest.

Barbara signals that a pint of the sponsor's product would be most welcome.

"Bryan! Gies yir jumper. F-F-F-F-Freezin', by the way!"

well done

Whoever took the photie has also snaffled a pint of the sponsor's product.

Unless they were on the squinty bridge.

Or perhaps he had one leg shorter than the other. :-)

This comment was removed because the moderators found it broke the house rules. Explain.

Spam attack? This blog post has also appeared on three other threads so far... Admins take a look?

Jim - it is on all the ´óÏó´«Ã½ Blogs I think.

Looks like an attack. The admins need to jump on this or it will be exploited further. When the new blog skin appeared I did mention to another IT person that I could see half a dozen ways for that kind of thing to happen. Hopefully they will beef it up in due course.

I missed the first hour of the show tonight as I had to rescue a server in London remotely and then recode a stack of web services to boot. Bummer. What was the show like?

#10

It's still showing on other ´óÏó´«Ã½ blogs...

#12 Nae idea Jim. I had to help out International Rescue because eighteen fishermen were being attacked by a giant squid in the Vanuatan Archipeligo and needed someone to pilot Thunderbird 2 since Virgil Tracey was under the weather with the sniffles after his recent mission to Mexico City. Thankfully all OK. I got back for the weather forecast though...

:-)

DC - you cannot kid us - there is no way the sniffles would put off Virgil Tracey.

#10

Perhaps they took a leaf from the Knaves And Swindlers Digest -

OK, it was a bit more than sniffles, but the World Health Organisation told us to play it down...

Well done Babs by the way

Sunds like you had a substantially more F.A.B. time than I did, then.

14# I have to agree with JFE on that sort of thing DC.I know what its like, I was first line support for major banking systems all my IT working life....... nothing much happens for ages and then suddenly a number two hits the fan!

#19

So where were you today then when I was toiling away!? :-)

Listening to the show live!!!

#21

I'd envy you if I knew it was good - but I haven't heard it yet, so I will reserve judgement! My eyes are rapidly losing focus after scanning all that code today - I prefer the cushy numbers! But as you say the number twos do hit every so often! And that's most definitely NOT F.A.B.

#2 Taking deep breaths and telling myself to remain calm. Well done MissBabs

#19 excuse me! My ability to steer number two in the absence of Mr Tracy is top quality! There's no way the fans would be hit.

DC

Thanks everyone for your support! Was a great day - and altho I think it's probably the worst photo ever.....I think you can see the complete joy I felt at completing it.
To all who donated to charity for me, thanks...it was knowing people had done that which encouraged me thro the hailstones! That and the sound of FOCUS BARBARA from BB ringing in my ears!
Don't worry the vest will not be seen online again this year!
Love MissBabs xx

Rule No.1 - When parking T-Bird 2 in Cellardyke harbour, make sure the tide is in.

>8-D

Chris Farlowes band was called the Thunderbirds.

#26 I have personal experience of parking in a harbour when the tide was in. Unfortunately I was not in a craft of any sort at the time

I must have missed Monday.

JFE saving a remote controlled waitress in London, DC saving a giant squid from Vanuatan fishermen and JFR admitting to wiping out the banking worlds IT systems.

Why was none of this in the Sun this morning?

Excellent EC. It was on page three, which no doubt will be why you missed it!

Hey, Miss Babs - you can ditch Bryan as your trainer... I've a much better idea!

#29 Cellardyke got the Sun's attention about that swan. The T-Bird is hardly going to get out of the shade.....

#32

That was a Dee-Bird...

Must have been page 4 Jan, never miss anything on page 3.

Well done to Babs and the rest. Your look nearly as happy as I do in the official photo taken as I crossed the finishing line in the first Glasgow marathon back in 1982. But my happiness wasn't just cos I finished it. It was because I had managed to overtake the 128 year old guy that had jogged past me as we entered Glasgow Green. The thought of gettin my picture taken with him in front of me was all that got me up the run in. Arms aloft there i am beating the old codger into 3247th place.
