Was out last night at the movies for the premiere of 'A Town of Runners' but first stop was at the 2XU store in Paddington for a few drinks and catch up with Vlad and the others, Friendly old chat with MrAce, Mikey, J-Fen, Angus, The return of the Fat Italian Stallion and HuRTS Pie Eater Champion Durante, Charlie, Slim Sammy Agnew with son Tommy, Kanser popped in as well as did Andy Heyden who made his way straight to the bar and never budged. Even the HuRTS girls were well represented with Anna Fitz, and Lisa.
A few minute walk to the cinema ( although i hear Heyden stayed and consumed another 6 pack before leaving ) and as Kanser was buying 3 buckets of Popcorn we were all set to go, The movie is a documentary about young runners from the Ethiopian rural town of Bekoji, home to the current Olympic and World Champions Tirunesh Dibaba and Bekele. The film follows three children as they move from school track to national competition and from childhood to adulthood. in truth its an average movie for me, didn't really set me alight as i was thinking it was going to be more about champion athletes, Still...it was watchable and i will give it 5 popcorns out of 10.
Best bit was the Q & A after and with Terence in the Hot Chair doing his best Michael Parkinson style interview, he opened the floor up for questions to Benny St, and Lara. No surprise who was first in ....
Terence, 'Yes, guy in the corner still eating popcorn, pink shirt?'
Kanser, 'David Kane, Maquarie Bank, 2.40 Marathoner - Benny you want to run a Marathon, what time do you think you can run? , and don't you think you are a bit on the larger size to run one"
........as the room goes silent.
No sign of Tommy H last night who i also heard was in the Gold Coast, although the crafty bugger tried to pay his City to Surf Ten Pound debt, without having a photo taken handing the cash over. He gave the money to Slim Sammy Agnew to pay me. On closer inspection of the note i realised Tommy may not be in the Gold Coast at all but over in France somewhere visiting his brother 'The Less Talented One ( L.T.O)
Check out what he tried to palm of on me.
Shameful Tom , Shameful.....
Also had yet another request from someone who tells me they never saw the photo of 'Young Enda' - so to keep everyone of the readers happy . :)
Cheers
Seriously will you ever move on from this photo...more people have seen this than seen the photos of Kate Middelton's tits...Q
ReplyDeleteSo has Kanser woken up at St Vincents hospital yet? More photos of Enda running as I think those short longs are creeping up.
ReplyDeleteThe LTO thanks you for the mention in your worthy blog young Timmy.
ReplyDeleteI confirm, however, that Chairman Tom is nowhere near France for the moment as he's too scared of getting his photo taken by the paparazzi of his unsightly beer belly.
The LTO also thinks that he'd kick your ass at the moment with the slacking off in your training that's recounted daily in this blog. When are you going to pull your finger out and toughen up a bit ?
Ahhhh the LTO makes a guest appearance - how are you mate?
ReplyDeleteYes can confirm Sydney is on watch alert for when Tommy Highnam strips down for the biathlon we are going to do in October - scary stuff.
Think we should have a little wager ( think you still owe from last years) on who will run a faster 10k time over the next 6 months if you think 'young Timmy' is finished :)
