So come on then, are any of you chaps on the "fit fellas" competition on the adver?  ;D

http://www.swindonadvertiser.co.uk/news/fitfellas/fitpix/

Some leave a lot to be desired...I may have to dredge through my footy photos and submit a few of you for a laugh, then we can arrange a mass TEF vote to make them win  :D :D :D

Now, I'm no oil painting, but srsly...

Hahaha, i know the last fella in the silver spandex... ho ho ho

I think Fatters should enter.

I've played football with and against number 1

He's a bit of a twat!

I can also confirm I have not entered.

Spot the JCP!

Jon Dewberyy looks hilarious.

My vote goes to Tony Fairfoull

why the fuck would you enter this?

you cant see liam armstorng as the photo is blurry!

is one of them in a royal mail uniform?

My first thought also.

Ralphy perhaps?

Did they publish my picture?

I'm the one dressed as a baby.

I used to ride BMX with someone called Darren McCormack (JCP). I wonder whether it's the same person? I suppose it looks a bit like him. Being a BMXer was cooler than feeling the burn baby.

i know him bazza.lived in the next street from me as kids

I reckon riding BMX with Shanaze Reade, would have been more fun

i used to work with Adam at the Furnace... he is now a doorman at yates

So it's the same bloke then?! Jesus, I remember seeing him about 10 years ago and he had a Cossie and was about 6'5". Seems he's changed again! :)

i reckon, as his facebook pics have old bmx photos.his updates make me cringe,my tan this,calorie count that.

Darren Mcormack. I kow him too. Skinny runt at school now is the size of Johnny Bravo and the colour of Dale Winton.  Yes his FB updates are cringeworthy but hilarious also.

who are you nochee?i reckon we may know each other

Im pretty sure of it too. I left Greendown in 93. Lived in Toothill most of my life. Went To Ollie tompkins

Haha, that'll be him. :)

I stared long and hard [awaits amusing quote] at his photo, and it certainly seems to look like him if i squint a bit, but then he was quite scrawny. I also just typed his name in Facebook and looked at his friends, we have some mutual friends that make sense.

what an utter bunch of fannies!

OMG - that is terrible

some of those people look like the biggest geeks ever! particually bad are the man in the builders hat and the man in the oversized fleece

Is this chap sitting on the toilet?

[url width=450 height=360]http://www.swindonadvertiser.co.uk/resources/images/811822/?type=gallery[/url]

euuuuuww well spotted

he should try to grow a proper beard, does he not realise how damn stupid he looks?

[url width=640 height=480]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d35/flammableben/ninja-1.jpg[/url]

This dude should definitely win.

What a stud.

Ben your much sexier

I might enter you! (in the comp - so know one writes anything rude!!)

I concur. Submit that immediately. I'm sure we could all drum up enough support to seal a victory?

only bit of Info I dont have is a contact number for you Beni boy

Im entering you as we speak!

Ben, you need to do two things.

Get yourself to Primark and buy a new jumper and see a doctor. Fucking sharpish!

Remote control strapped to your head? I thought I had problems.

Errr.. I'm not sure I want to be entered.

Ahh feck it. I'll pm you my mobile number JFW.

Daniel Gibbison looks like he should be on Thunderbirds, "Uh uh uh OK Virgil"

"Im entering you as we speak!"

too much info...

Ben you are now entered in this comp! wooo

Oh god.
 

Oh and the adver site made my computer go funny and I had to shut it down - It made millions of internet pages come up

haha quality i know a few of those, cant wait till i see Jordan tomorrow, going to slate him

:Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick: :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

lets vote ben to victory.the pic is ace

I havent had an Email from the adver yet to say hes been accepted - Ben said I should put down Im his stalker so they might think Im an odd bodd

well he's on their site so he must have made it.

haha the pictures brill

Fucking class! :D

OMG I hadnt checked!! wow thats ace

EXCELLENT WORK MISS JFW!

Lets now vote Ben to win!!!!!!!!!!! 

Can someone make this a sticky to ensure people vote?!

Theres no voting details yet

we will have to make Bens favourite - a Facebook group!

DO IT!

Oh and ive sent it round the office too as someones brother is on there haha

Ill do the Facebook group tomorrow if thats OK?

The adver site keeps giving my computer dieseases

Thats cool, or i can do it tonight...

The office is impressd with Bens effort woop!

Oh god. I might have to go into hiding.

Do you really have to do a facebook group? I've had one "real" person see it already.

Yes!  We must drum up support to get the votes in!

I sound a bit ungrateful now.

Go mad on facebook JFW. I don't mind really.

:D :D:D

This is awesome.

Luce you can do it if you like!

can I be an admin ;)

Ha ha :D

If Ben doesn't win,or at least make the top three its a fix.

Haha i dont care how we do it as long as we get him on there! hehehe

Does this mean that I have to log into that facebook thing now?

This is an idea of unequalled genius. Making Ben win would be superb. :D

Jon Dewberry went to my school, he was a few years below me though. I can't see him providing any competition for Ben.

if he wins does he go into Mr. south west ?

I hope not.

Is there a prize?

Can someone suggest a group name/tag line please?  It needs to be good and not feeling inventive today :D

I don't think so, but i think there is a bottle of champagne and a nice cheque or something involved

Winners go in 2010 Calendar!

Oh... it's not as lucrative as the other year then!

hahaha ace.

group name sil vous plait?

DON'T BE A CUNT VOTE FOR BEN .... :D

we need some more funny pics of ben to add too the group.....please do!

Dont know you but i'll be voting, quality!

OR..

BEN NEEDS BEER MONEY, PLEASE VOTE NOW!

I don't have many pictures of me at all. You can go through facebook, but most of them will probably be of me battered. I generally avoid cameras otherwise.

There's probably a few on my photobucket account if you can be arsed to go through. I think it's open.

http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=64578802213#/group.php?gid=64578802213

hehe. I'm flattered.

This is going to be a big disappointment when I don't get through to the voting stage.

This is where media contacts may come in.........:D

Bribe / threaten the panel, good idea.

If the TEF can get Sheena Easton on the bookies for town manager then we can back Ben!

i'd love ben to win.better than some vain, fake tanned self loving twat! or the chav tossers on there.

 I'd worry about voting in a fit fella competition....

VOTE fB!!

 :clap: :notworthy:

Pure genius.

I've had a few glasses of wine and am now going to practice posing.

Well I was actually quietly practising whilst watching masterchef, but my mum started taking the piss. Which is fair enough because I haven't told her I've been entered, it'll be funnier if someone else sees it on facebook and tells her.

Awesome, let us know when we can start voting.  :)

Touch of class! You can rely on my vote - I can't see the picture from work for some reason but I don't care, Ben for President!

I'm 'with' Reg on this one

Anyone have any contacts at the adver to ensure Ben makes it into the final 24? :D

Even if I wanted to vote for fB because I thought he was fit...which being straight I don't..I couldn't bring myself to tick his box, after his disgraceful banning of ISOB from the cricket forum.

The thought of preening and posing in front of a few cyber birds has obviously gone straight to his trousers..

Don't vote fB....free the CF one.

60 members.....not bad!

I'm in hiding.

Theres 32 entries on the adver website now - not bad chances of getting in the top 24 - providing the adver have a sense of humour!

what do you mean "sense of humour"? Are you saying that I shouldn't get in the top 24?

That's none then.

The fact you have a remote control attached to your forehead and a corkscrew in one hand was what I was referring to!

I'll let you off then. I was horribly offended for a second there.

In my view he's still one of the more normal ones on there. I do realise there is some irony here, but a fit fella competition in Swindon!, that's a bit like looking for mastermind contestants in Liverpool.

I feel the need to bump this thread as I've been on holiday for the last week and missed it, so for anyone else whose done the same. I've nearly died laughing reading this.

The truly terrifying bit is that even without the pressure of the TEF, Ben should probably make the top 24 at a canter, some of these are hilarious- my personal favourites are the spotty Ricky Hatton look alike and the fat guy in a Banana Hammock with a Snowman, both on page 2.

Go Ben.

Oooh. When does the top 24 get decided?

Ashley Howard I think he went to the same school as me a few years below though. He also appears to have his year of birth tattooed across his stomach!

maybe in case he forgets?

When does the voting start? Surely we can pull this challenge off. Go FB!!

If FB wins will he have to wear a sash and a tiara? Will he also have to do celebrity openings of small businesses and school visits to warn of the dangers of drugs etc etc?

Also, will the remote have to be in place at all said occasions?

I'd like to claim the levels of Education at Dorcan were better than that but they really were quite poor...

Does this old guy cross dress? it looks like he has beeb wearing a strapless bra whilst sunbathing!!!!

More worringly  it looks like this is a studio photograph  :yikes:

[url width=450 height=333]http://www.swindonadvertiser.co.uk/resources/images/824490/?type=gallery[/url]

I saw that and its frankly horrific - if he gets in the 24 over Ben Ill complain!

hahaha

whats with the scars under his moobs?

Lipo.

Does anyone know if they have picked the last 24 yet?  I cant get on at work

How do I vote ?

We don't know if he's made it through yet and I can't get on the flipping adver website to check!

The adver sites not been updated yet, still the pictures. No idea when it starts.

Do you think they will Email me if he gets through?

Hopefully :D

No, they'll let you know through the power of telepathy.

Durrrr Sam. Email is a type of telepathy.

Bollocks is it. It's one of the 5 senses.

Fun Fact! You have more than five senses.

Not on the adver board, if you are referring to common sense?

I knew you were going to say that.

Breaking News!

In the biggest travesty of justice since Raef got fired from the Apprentice before that irritating Sophocles tosser, Ben has not made the final and THIS MAN

http://www.swindonadvertiser.co.uk/news/fitfellas/fitpix/view/81105.Fit_Fellas_Finalists/ (http://www.swindonadvertiser.co.uk/news/fitfellas/fitpix/view/81105.Fit_Fellas_Finalists/)

HAS.

And they've only picked fourteen finalists.

I suggest an en masse complaining session until every Adver journo even slightly involved in the competition is sacked, or at the very least forced to eat their own shoes.

Oh and for christ sakes, I've just noticed that Ricky Hatton made the final:

http://www.swindonadvertiser.co.uk/news/fitfellas/fitpix/view/81107.Fit_Fellas_Finalists/ (http://www.swindonadvertiser.co.uk/news/fitfellas/fitpix/view/81107.Fit_Fellas_Finalists/)

This is going to be the worst calendar ever.

oh dear that first link is a family friend, im currently on phone with my brother laughing alot, mean but fair i think.
Ben would have got my vote hands down!! Stupid adver

Not to mention Sonic the Hedgehog:
http://www.swindonadvertiser.co.uk/news/fitfellas/fitpix/view/81101.Fit_Fellas_Finalists/ (http://www.swindonadvertiser.co.uk/news/fitfellas/fitpix/view/81101.Fit_Fellas_Finalists/)
I feel desperately sorry for any single woman in Swindon if this lot is the cream of the crop they have to choose from. They'd be better off going on the pull in Parkhurst

I just had the exact same thought, im moving!

Shit!! No hope for me then. Guess ill have to start saving and move if thats the best Swindon has to offer!!!! Who's judging these things, DD&B ppl!?!?!!?!

Luci is not going to be happy.

Cannot believe this.  perhaps Ben should have taken his shirt off or something.

Don't worry ben, you're better than those chavs - we'll just have to find something else to enter you into :D

Is this some sort of sick joke? Some of those blokes are just plain ugly!

Don't worry Ben, I'm lining you up for Mr Gay UK.  Get working on that six pack.  :)

Im shocked and saddened

Or maybe strapping the remote control to his head was what turned the selection panel against him? Perhaps they felt he wasn't according this prestigious title the full respect it clearly merits.

Did someone say they were doing a calendar of these horrors? Suggested title - "Munster of the Month"

I'm devastated. This has really knocked me back.

How about I enter you into the May Queen comp we are doing at work for the family fun day?

I'm not sure I could take any more rejection. I'm going back to bed.

Some of these clearly need their pics possting on mingers.com so they can join beauties like this

*BUMP* incredibly random I know but I actually found out that I work with the guy that beat Ben to the title and won this!!!

fork him in the eye

I bet he doesn't keep you entertained with forum Granny's Garden....

No but I was doing an after school club and it was raining so we had to come in and use the computer room - I played new grannies garden and it is MENTAL!

Frankie Boyle is playing his own version of Grannies Garden on twitter
