I couldn't have walked that when i was 10. Then again, i was a fat fucker. Soon i'll post pics of Ralphy's childhood for DV to enjoy. Title: My Hero Post by: yeo on Saturday, June 16, 2007, 17:27:54 Good for her.
A proper Dad would have set an online sponsership thing and got his internet buddies to sponser her :D Title: My Hero Post by: flammableBen on Saturday, June 16, 2007, 17:29:23 Amazing, all with the disadvantage of being half Fred. Think she's earned that Pizza.

Unfortunately our family has been riddled with it. you already know of my problems, but we are currently trying to cope with Lisa's sister's breast cancer Its not a good time, and Jen said "Im going to do something about this !" she is ace :mrgreen: Title: My Hero Post by: Ralphy on Saturday, June 16, 2007, 17:33:35 I think you should show her that her dad likes to do his bit for charity too.
Run the London marathon next april. If you do. I pledge £50. Thats not a joke.

Title: My Hero Post by: herthab on Saturday, June 16, 2007, 18:06:20 That's one hell of an achievement for a ten tear old.
Will we be seeing her in 2012? You could be her trainer Fred :D Title: My Hero Post by: STFC4LIFE on Saturday, June 16, 2007, 18:07:10 Quote from: "herthab" That's one hell of an achievement for a ten tear old.

Title: My Hero Post by: ronnie21 on Saturday, June 16, 2007, 18:18:58 That's great Fred, give her my congrats. I suppose when you are jogging up the New Inn - and have to stop twice - you will wonder how she did it! Pity you hadn't mentioned this before, I am sure a lot of us would have pledged online for her.
Title: My Hero Post by: Bogus Dave on Saturday, June 16, 2007, 19:16:07 10k for a 6 year old is fucking brilliant. well done little fred

Run the London marathon next april. If you do. I pledge £50. Thats not a joke. OK your'e on ! I used to be fit as fuck in my playing days, I dont know how having no cartlidges any more would cope with it but I am willing to give it a go Title: My Hero Post by: Fred Elliot on Saturday, June 16, 2007, 20:36:18 Quote from: "herthab" That's one hell of an achievement for a ten tear old. Will we be seeing her in 2012? You could be her trainer Fred :D might do mate, may be a bit too soon her great talent is Swimming she swims for the Swindon Dolphins, at the moment she trains 3 times a week, that is soon to ramp up to 4 times a week, in all honesty it will be 2016, she will be 19 then Title: My Hero Post by: Ralphy on Sunday, June 17, 2007, 00:47:24 Fred i'm serious. You run it, i pledge £50.

Title: My Hero Post by: Fred Elliot on Thursday, June 5, 2008, 21:07:34 *Annual Bumpage*
So.....a year has passed and a lot of you know that this is a cause that is very close to home for me. Yes.............Jenna (who a lot of you know as well now) is undertaking this again, of her own volition. If any of you feel that you could give up the price of a pint in order to sponsor her for "The Race For Life" then not only myself and Jenna, but millions of other people living in this country that are touched by this illness, directly or indirectly would be eternally grateful. If you could spare a couple of bob then please PM me with the following details that I need to enter onto the sponsorship form in order to make it valid (I will delete from my inbox straight away) Name Address and postcode Amount of pledge Can't say any more really Love Fred xx Title: My Hero Post by: Boeta on Thursday, June 5, 2008, 21:40:38 why not set something up on http://www.justgiving.com/
Title: My Hero Post by: Simon Pieman on Thursday, June 5, 2008, 22:26:33 Fred get some sort of form with a thing for gift aid and the charity get more off the government. Just a thought...

I'm going to regret this. Title: My Hero Post by: ronnie21 on Friday, June 6, 2008, 07:19:43 I'm in for a tenner, come on everybody, let's make this a TEF special!!
Title: My Hero Post by: Samdy Gray on Friday, June 6, 2008, 07:21:01 Stick me down for a fiver.
Title: My Hero Post by: Fred Elliot on Monday, June 9, 2008, 08:29:53 Quote from: "flammableBen" I'm skint, but if the tef comes up with £50 of sponsorship then I'll let Jenna cut my hair. I'm going to regret this. BINGO Thanks lads Oh Ben what have you done !!!!! :mrgreen: Title: My Hero Post by: axs on Monday, June 9, 2008, 16:45:35 I'll stick in a fiver towards the fB haircut fund.
Title: My Hero Post by: Fred Elliot on Monday, June 9, 2008, 17:00:42 Quote from: "Croat red" sort the justgiving thing .. all sorted Title: My Hero Post by: Fred Elliot on Sunday, June 15, 2008, 20:53:47 Mission accomplished.
Jenna completed the 6k in 37 minutes, an absolute star ! You will be pleased to know that she got sponsorship pledges of £155, £75 of which came from you guys on here. A massive massive thankyou to everyone who pledged, it really meant a lot to us. Extra special mention to Ben for agreeing to let Jenna cut his hair. I am thinking of getting everyone together for a BBQ where monies can be collected and many people can witness Sweeny Todd at work :mrgreen: http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n70/FredElliot_2006/IMGP0595.jpg Title: My Hero Post by: pumbaa on Sunday, June 15, 2008, 21:40:42 Frederico, I'll add more to that fund BTW as the Charity means a lot to Rachel and I.
I'll also get Rachel to bring her camera along to professionally 'capture the moment' so to speak...... Title: My Hero Post by: flammableBen on Sunday, June 15, 2008, 23:12:29 £75? You Bastards. Fair play to all who've donated on the quiet, being the attention whore I am I'd have shouted it from the rooftops.
Tell Jenna well done from me. That's ridiculously brilliant. My best 6k time is around 6 hours. I hope my new hairstyle will be stylish, I know she's a girl of wealth and taste. Jenna is a clever girl, I'm sure she'll come up with something brilliant. She wouldn't want to humiliate me....., errr.... I hope. Title: My Hero Post by: ronnie21 on Monday, June 16, 2008, 07:07:40 Well done Jenna. In view of the news we heard on Friday this makes her success more poignant! Let me know when and how you need my cash Fred.
Title: My Hero Post by: Fred Elliot on Monday, June 16, 2008, 09:10:51 Thanks all

Title: My Hero Post by: pumbaa on Monday, June 16, 2008, 19:35:31 Quote from: "Fred Elliot" Thanks all trying to get a BBQ going for this Saturday afternoon/evening if anyone is up for it ? In! Title: My Hero Post by: flammableBen on Monday, June 16, 2008, 19:48:13 I am always up for bbqage.
Title: My Hero Post by: DV on Monday, June 16, 2008, 19:56:16 I bet there is food left over from last time!!
count me in, bbq goes well with my diet! Title: My Hero Post by: Fred Elliot on Thursday, June 19, 2008, 09:40:37 Judging by the weather forecast for this weekend is pissing down, going to take a raincheck on the BBQ.
Will PM everyone who pledged money to let them know how to get it to me. Cheers Title: My Hero Post by: janaage on Thursday, June 19, 2008, 10:02:10 Not that I'll be coming along Fred, but was that the BBC you checked the weather on? Metcheck seem a little more positive! Which is good as I've got a friend's dad's birthday party - an all dayer - to attend.
http://www.metcheck.com/V40/UK/FREE/dayforecast.asp?zipcode=swindon&day=2 Title: My Hero Post by: Fred Elliot on Thursday, June 19, 2008, 10:28:11 Yes Jan i used the BBC, that looks a bit more optimistic
Title: My Hero Post by: Bogus Dave on Thursday, June 19, 2008, 10:31:24 sorry to rain on your parade (boom boom) but the met office website forecast isn't good either
Title: My Hero Post by: janaage on Thursday, June 19, 2008, 10:37:18 Don't the beeb use the Met Office though? BBC weather forecasts (on their website) are notoriously bad.
Title: My Hero Post by: Samdy Gray on Thursday, June 19, 2008, 11:04:35 http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/uk/sw/swindon_forecast_weather.html
Title: My Hero Post by: janaage on Thursday, June 19, 2008, 11:11:41 As I said before
THE BBC ARE SUPPLIED THEIR WEATHER FORECASTS BY THE MET OFFICE!! (From site - BBC Weather Centre in association with the Met Office) Of course they are gonna be the same. All I'm saying is recently their forecasts have been terrible. Who knows they might get it spot on, but others, such as Metcheck don't agree. What will be will be, hope it stays clear for you Frederico. Title: My Hero Post by: DMR on Thursday, June 19, 2008, 11:34:50 Does anyone know where the Beeb source their weather forecasts?
