I think Half Life and I should meet up and go bowling sometime

If "Terrific" is Cockney rhyming slang for horrific, then I feel terrific

Greetings Sports Fans So the big day is finally upon us. Looking forward to what will surely be an Olympic event. Please ensure you're at the Plough for no later than 2 o'clock in order for us to get the Clockhouse drinks order sorted. We will be in the Plough from Noon limbering up in the Barry Barry style. Weather is here, wish you were lovely... Lasers, Malky, Charge etc Barry Barry Love SB

DC - gutted you can't make it. I guess 2012 will have to be your fallow year. Back bigger and stronger in 2013 what what! Everybody else - see ya on the starting line. all we can promise are good times and hangovers. Barry Barry Love Surfbobby

The Barry Barry Rum The genius continues. HMB - you're my hero Race day info attached Barry Barry Bob

Ahem, Greetings again Sports Fans Quite clearly I must have already been practising the drinking part of the race when I posted the date announcement earlier. For those keen readers that spotted my mistake - well done, gold medals all round. And for those who that didn't, fear not; we have not increased the alcohol consumption to 4 Pints and 4 Shorts as previously listed. It remains, as it always has, at 1 Pint (or 1 half pint or 1 bottle for those that want to) and 1 Shot in each pub. Apologies for any inconvenience caused Surfbobby

Greetings Sports Fans 1448 Meters 4 Pints 4 Shots 2 Pubs 2 Bears No Buses!!! It can only be - The 5th Annual Barry Barry Road Race or as it is known this year - The 1st Olympic Barry Barry Road Race. The date of our fun filled, action packed, drink fueled, sport orientated (yeah right), family friendly event is - Saturday 21st July 2012. This, good people, is the Unofficial Opening Ceremony. We are in no way in competition with the other London sporting event that kicks off a week later, but in fact we are an enhancer to it. Our energies, passion and considerable tolerance for alcohol consumption will help keep alight the Olympic torch as it makes its way through our fair towns and cities. We shall do our bit (more likely much more than our bit) to kick start the London party atmosphere into a high performance gear with what I hope will be another highly successful day of laughter, merriment and fancy dress with a little sport thrown in for a double measure. We have never had a themed BBRR before so here's hoping you can take the Olympic Spirit (which doesn't count as one of your shots by the way) into your hearts and on to the streets (well one in particular) of East Dulwich. Here's to another great day, see ya on the starting line Please see attached for details Olympic Love Surfbobby

ps - anyone seen my bib? I believe it has my name on it

Would just like to add my thanks to everybody involved in making Saturday a truly tremendous day. I think that may have been the best one yet but to be fair they've all been pretty amazing days that do just seem to get better and better. Keep an eye out for the Southwark News on Thursday.... I would also just like to say that picture 50 from Caroline's Photbox may suggest that I was boarding a bus but I was merely inspecting the passengers to ensure that there were no competitors on the cheat. And of course there was not. Thanks again Sports Fans, please return your Laser settings to stun Surfbobby aka Barry Barry Bob

Greetings Sports Fans Well the time is almost upon us, however there is still some time to fit in some last minute training. Myself and Help Ma Boab are currently in Eastbourne cramming in some sprint drinking training. The weather is of course once again looking Barry and we should be in for a Full Tilt Boogie day of fun. So ensure your lasers are on chare tonight and set them to Malky in the morning and we'll see ya at the starting line. Gun goes off at 3, drinks orders need to be in by 2. We'll be in the Plough from 12. Run Safe Barry Barry Bob

Of Course Vilmos, you can - but you'd be only cheating yourself. However the Co-Organiser Help-Ma-Boab did exactyly the same thing last year, much to the disgust of all the hard working and even harder drinking competitors. Perhaps you could go for the alternativen option, also employed by HMB on the first year, drink your drinks at the Plough, amble down in a gentile fashion to the clock house and never actually finish your shot - therefore still be in the race 4 years later. There is no time limit to complete, so take full advantage I say. A fair few of this years runners and riders are all just back from a fabulous few days in North Italy's Trieste Traing Camp and I must admit, it looks like there could be a requirement for a photo finish this year. Can't wait friends, see ya at the starting line... Surfbobby aka Barry Barry Bob

Greetings Sports Fans The time has come to announce the date for the event that has become a firm favourite fixture in the South London Social Scene; The 4th Annual Barry Barry Road Race. This years date is to be Saturday 23rd of July and we hope to see as many, if not more of you as last year. Last year saw nearly 50 runners with more than that turning up for spectating, supporting and general merriment which was just fantastic. I have been reliably informed by the good people of the Clockhouse that they will have a highly skilled team of bar ninjas in ready support to provide the essential replacement fluids required after such an arduous event. Also on site there is the high chance of an outdoor bottle bar and BBQ. Additionally a late licence may be in operation, all of which will help top off what is hopefully shaping up to be another fun filled, family friendly, full tilt boogie extravaganza. In preparation myself, Help Ma Boab, Evel Knievel and a select squad of ED athletes are taking ourselves off to Portugal for a 10 day training camp. It should also be noted that after last year's "Bus Incident" Help Ma Boab has employed the services of ex military types to whip him into shape. Any serious competitors seeking an advantage over one of their fellow runners can chart HMB's progress every Wednesday evening in Peckham Rye Park. He can be easily identified by his Blue bib, long arms and more than likely he'll be doing 'ladies' press ups. Please leave your bus passes at home people! If anyone is in contact with last years winners can you please ask them to return the Barry Barry Bears to the Clockhouse. So get training folks, the game is afoot, the Bears are returning home and glory is within easy reach. Please see attached for further details. Starters gun will go off at 3PM from the Plough, with warm up drinks for those serious competitors starting from whenever the Plough opens...Or the Friday night in Eastbourne for the North of Scotland Tennis campaigners. See ya on the start line folks... Surfbobby

Does anyone know anywhere in the neighbourhood that will be showing the boxing on Saturday? The Hamelts put on a great spread for the Hatton Pac fight. Be great if that was on again

Jeezo - totally for got to thank Mark the photy taker, great work sir!
