I am sitting here sore all over and my feet are fecked and unable to walk. Yesterday i took part in a sponsored walk for our children's day out.We did a walk from Breamar to Glen clova the walk is called jocks road and is supposed to be 15 miles long.I have never did anything like that and i will never do it again.Half way up i had a overwhelming feeling of what the fxck
am i doing up here and i kid you not i felt like crying.

So be warned if you feel like doing something out of the norm for charity think again.I think next time i will a sponsored diet :lol: :lol:

Whats up with ya man, this tells you that you are unfit and it's time to do something about it. Get out of ya cab at night and do something instead of sitting in front of the TV watching Emmerdale.

I have 3 sons. As teenagers the eldest was very much into rock climbing and Hockey. He came fourth in the junior national climbing competition and played in the county hockey team. The middle one played at the Leicester City Academy, The County football team for 5 years and was County 400 meter champion. The youngest was a County rugby player. All 3 represented Grantham at athletics.
My question is should I give the ex wife a good hiding and demand a DNA test because they couldn't have got this from me. What time is Emmerdale on? :mrgreen:

I did a parachute jump once for charity, not too energetic and way more fun. My eldest daughter is forever doing things for charity her last effort involved her abseiling down the side of a lighthouse :D

I have done the Abseiling bit and I have always fancied doing a parachute jump but I don't know if I could actually bring myself to part company with the plane.

They are all in their mid to late 20's now and the Eldest still does climbing and runs adventurous activities for the Scouts. The other 2 don't do much sport now and the youngest is working with me on the taxis, I can't seem to get him to drive a limo yet.

You wouldn't have a choice once up there. They push you if you don't go because you are a hazard to them once you panic :shock:

I don't think I would panic, I would just sugest that I could do it when the plane was a little lower, like on the ground. I have done parascending in Tunisia, that was good.

Yes your right we raised a lot of money for our BIG DAY OUT FUND but i have to say i was a clown for doing it without doing any kind of walking me and my friend Chris felt we could have caused a safety issue if we were unable to continue.
