: Anyone want to see Mark in the marathon? : Roz July 19, 2004, 07:55:37 PM This is our lad in the inline marathon at Cambourne yesterday :)
(http://www.cambourne.info/ROLLER2004/DSCF0022.JPG) The girl in the pink top who he is catching up with was on the Eddy Matzger course... she bravely did all 16 miles or so in a brand new pair of skates! Aha... and here's Mark about to show those lucra clad nonses a thing or two about speed skating (http://www.cambourne.info/ROLLER2004/DSCF0014.JPG) : Re:Anyone want to see Mark in the marathon? : Roz July 19, 2004, 07:57:40 PM OOps - for those of you that don't know us in the flesh- Mark's the one in the combat type shorts and white tee shirt (look closely and you will see it's a Yak Shack tee shirt).
P.S. could someone please say how cool his helmet looks as it's brand new P. P. S Could someone tell him off for forgetting his wrist and knee pads? : Re:Anyone want to see Mark in the marathon? : ferdinand_the_yak July 19, 2004, 08:23:37 PM Congrats Mark - I admire your courage from the comfort of my couch :D
Love the yak shirt and helmet - its a good look! Bad yak for not wearing protective equipment *wags finger in general direction of UK* :) PS. Are you two going to go the lycra option sometime in the future? Or have forum members put you off it? : Re:Anyone want to see Mark in the marathon? : mcgonagall July 20, 2004, 08:21:00 AM way coll Mark and Roz I like the T shirt
but you need the elbow pads and knee pads and wrist guards Mark. The helmet looks cool Mark. : Re:Anyone want to see Mark in the marathon? : MakTheYak July 20, 2004, 09:59:44 PM Anyone want to see Mark in the marathon? No! No I dont! : Re:Anyone want to see Mark in the marathon? : savage727 July 20, 2004, 10:40:04 PM Hey Mark:
You do look cool in your new helmet and Yak shirt but please at least wear a wrist guard - I don't know what I would do without my Bob's and Pirates toons if you injured your drawing hand! :'( Hey you didn't run over any of those little kids did you? ;) : Re:Anyone want to see Mark in the marathon? : MakTheYak July 20, 2004, 11:14:04 PM Only the ones who were better than me ;)
I know I normally do wear my pads and stuff but I forgot them that day... heck, I even walked out of the house without my skates at first! I must have not been quite with it! : Re:Anyone want to see Mark in the marathon? : savage727 July 21, 2004, 07:59:20 PM That's understandable - you have allot on your mind! :)
Yea get those little road weasals Mark!!! :) : Re:Anyone want to see Mark in the marathon? : ferdinand_the_yak July 21, 2004, 08:13:17 PM Kids :P
At my part time job (its a restaurant/function centre on a converted ferry) there are so many families that have kids come on board and they (the kids, I mean ;)) yell and scream and run around making it very annoying for other patrons and the staff (you try carrying a tray full of drinks and have these little idiots chasing around your feet!). You would think that their parents would try and control them, but alot don't. Very inconsiderate >: And there are many times that I have been sorely tempted to throw them overboard into the sea. Must... resist...urge ;D Parents need to train their kids properly. My little sisters are at the annoying brat age, but they would never behave like that, thank goodness! :) : Re:Anyone want to see Mark in the marathon? : savage727 July 21, 2004, 08:54:16 PM Amen to that FTY!! I just don't get it, my brother and I never acted like that and if we did our parents would wack us!! I really love it when you are eating out or at a movie and the little ones get out of control. I have seen very few parents do anything about it and it ruins the occassion for everyone else so people with kids keep them under control or I will have my robot take care of them!! (You have to read another Forum Topic to understand this)!! 8)
: Re:Anyone want to see Mark in the marathon? : mcgonagall July 22, 2004, 08:44:21 AM In defense of parents. I recently took my family and friends 30 of us out to a resturant to celebrate my son 18 th birthday. With all that i was doing taking photo's and playing host instead of having my three year old sit with me I sat her with her sister at the other end of the table which meant anytime she wanted something she would run to my end of the table ask the question then run back but she didn't yell or scream. So maybe some of the time it is just to much is going on at one time.
In the whole time we where at the resturant i never even got to eat. : Re:Anyone want to see Mark in the marathon? : ferdinand_the_yak July 22, 2004, 01:31:53 PM Oh, I am not saying that ALL parents can't control their kids - many do. My parents would have never let me as a child behave like that (not that I would anyway 8)) nor do they let my little sisters behave like that now. But the thing is, even if my parents were not there, my sisters wouldn't go crazy either - because they have been well-taught I guess. That's what should be done - teaching kids how to behave. The newer generations are becoming more and more delinquent - many things that were taboo when was a child are commonplace. For example, I don't think i even said a rude word until I was well into high school (and no, I don't say many nowadays either ;)) but my sister when she was in kindergarten came home after a few weeks and I heard the most unbelievable stuff coming out of her mouth. She was too young to know better I guess, and we soon taught her that it was wrong, but of course we are powerless to do anything while she is under the influence of other kids at school :-\
