Congratulations. You're just about the only runner I "know" who got in. All the Irish lads and lasses here got rejection letters.
Thanks'
Yes my wife and some of my friends got rejection letters today.
I was lucky having a good for age place.
But one has to ask how many places go to charities and big businesses!!!
Congrats and good luck with the training. :)
Sounds harded to get into than Ewen's wallet! Happy days Rick! All the best with the build up to it.
You're right about that Scott! That's why I say a H U G E congrats Rick.
Now Barry can get to work!
Thats very funny about EWEN'S WALLET!
BUT I'M SURE HE COULD NOT BEAT A GUY i KNOW WHO WENT TO THE BAR AND SAID HE'D BY EVERYONE A DRINK [all 10 of us] problem was he only had £5.00 on him, so cunningly he had to borrow the money from the rest of us!!!
Sorry to hear about Niz getting a rejection letter. That would have been fun, if you could have both run it.
Steady Ed.
