Kit,
I saw this product today and instantly thought of you:

Would love to post a photo, but I haven't got the time right this minute, so cut...

Hooray! Go Tyler!

:dance:

From one newbie thrower to another: if I can do it - and I am a world-class procrastinator - then you can too. And there's always the solemn and holy truth that books...

LOTS been going on... will post here and on my blog about it all, I promise! But in the meantime, just before going away to the Land of No Computers for a week (aka my parents' place), I've finally...

Something has only just occurred to me! When the XMarkers gather for the 2pm photo, I will be stuck in the main Games arena throwing heavy items around!
I'm basically stuck more or less from 12:45...

Come on you XMarkers! Anybody who was planning to go to Ashbourne, come to harpenden instead!

ps: Can't afford tickets for the Highland Fling, alas. Also, am accompanied by a blind guy so ceilidhing is problematic!

Anybody free for a drink on the Saturday night? I'll be driving down (alas sans daughters and dog, but thankfully avec Very Good Friend Rob) on Saturday morning and landing at the Travelodge at Hemel...

OK, guys, that's Lez-muh-HAY-go. No, honest! I checked, several times...
It's tomorrow, Saturday 16th June. And I'm going to be there, losing by a mile to Louise Blades, Scotland's Strongest Woman -...

Ah right, thanks Kit - so that helps even after a fortnight? Good to know!
Think I'll watch a LOT of hammer technique videos before next week's Games. Any YouTube recommendations?

Just asking... when I threw the men's 16lb hammer at Blair Atholl 2 weeks ago, I really hurt my right wrist - actually whacked it with the butt end of the hammer handle as I wound it round for the...

I gather (thankfully before getting there) that it's pronounced "Mull-guy"... is that right?

Hi all, just to say I'll be competing this weekend at the Bearsden Games just north of Glasgow, on Saturday, then the Ardrossan Games (west coast, just south of Glasgow) on Sunday.

Wish me luck,...

Clan tents would be nice - didn't see any at Blackford or Blair Atholl. Just the usual agricultural-show run of burger and hot dog vans, doughnut vans, ice-cream vans, handmade jewellery stalls,...

I'd pay good money to see pics of Alan in chandelier earrings ;P Maybe La Lumineuse should buy him some.

Looking forward to your post-event report, Usonian!

These comparisons are absolutely fascinating. I'm too tired to take it in right now, but I'll catch up on this.

Alan, the sheaf is an event that happens at some Games and not at others - this...

OK, I think I have these in the right order...

It's a good thing I didn't notice the gorgeous Ben Fogle and his NBC News camera crew filming at this point, it really would have put me off! As it...

OK, I have a couple of photos. My youngest daughter was there with me, clutching the family camera, and inexpilcably we have ended up with dozens and dozens of shots of guys tossing the sheaf (I...

Those caber pics are great! But did you notice the weirdo in the yellow shirt stalking you? In the PULL pic, he looks like he's about to grab you round the neck! Someone should do something about...

No worries, I'm a mean Googler, I'll figure something out! Thanks for the info about the Silver Cup, Alex, I'll check it out!

Harpenden is going to be quite an XMarks magnet this summer! I'm going to be there with minimum one daughter, possibly two or three, plus some friends from London and surrounding area. Plus dog. Can...

Well, my first Games weekend came and went... interesting times!

OK, pared to the bone, here's my first two Games scores:

I waived my claim to any prize monies, and they let me throw my own...

Hmm, I clicked, but the link wouldn't load the video. Problem?

OK, just saw a follow-up report from the regional paper. It seems that Steve did indeed commit suicide, rather than it being an accident.
How horrible, and how sad.

STRONG ENOUGH TO NEED HAMMER BLADES! Wooo! Excellent going!
