Hello all,
I would like to bring to your attention that I will be carrying the apterous flag in this weekend's Great North Run. I am running for St John ambulance and hope to be sponsored so I can recoup for them some of the money that Portsmouth FC still owe them.

If you would like to donate, then please visit http://www.justgiving.com/tomrowell and give me all your live savings.

Thanks
Mr.T

Heather is going to be mortified with disappointment when she inevitably clicks on a thread called "GNR" and sees this.

In other news though, best of luck Tom! Hope it goes fantastically.

Good luck Tom

Am already sponsoring two other people in this race but I hope you raise loads of money!

I think you'll find I donated last night after seeing your link on the newsfeed of Facebook. Where are the thanks? I hope you collapse and die running it.

I was looking forward to a thread chatting about fat idiots in cycling shorts. Pah.

EDIT: Actually, there's more humour in that statement that I originally realised...

A nice donation from me to you, Tom. Best of luck.

If you actually carry an apterous flag I will sponsor you.

As will Kirk, who will inevitably have read it as 'GNER'.

Yes thank you very much Ryan. I will bring you some cake at CoLei in return for your generosity

Is it the banana cake. Because if it isn't then I don't want any.

No it doesnt have to be. What flavour would you like?

Even without adding an E, my first thought when seeing the thread title was that this referred to the Great Northern Railway, which was one of those which formed the LNER in 1923. Only after that did I realise that it was Tom's thread, rather than George's.

Best of luck anyway, Tom.

Exactly this - that's the only GNR I know.

Me too

You may or may not be interested to know i completed the course today in 2 hours 56 minutes, being narrowly beaten by a man carrying a fridge.

Fair play Tom - huge congratulations. It's a great achievement

You've already cut a minute off your Facebook-published time! We shouldn't have to stand for this level of inaccuracy. How long, I ask you, before you did it in 2 hours 55 minutes? It's ridiculous.

In other news, very fucking well done.
