I understand there are many clever people on this forum:
The odd quack, a few theoretical physicists, a couple of research chemists.
Bow down you intellectual pygmies!
You poor, half-witted, semi-conscious simians probably think you're quite smart, eh?
Pfffft.
You, my half-witted, slack jawed friend are sharing the internets with a member of the Middleton Harriers Running Club annual quiz night winning team, 2014.
Seriously if brains were dynamite you couldn't blow your hats off.
Has anyone seen the sticky tape?
I'm off to put the atom back together.
Well done, your name is sure to be remembered for a period of time. What was the prize for winning such an renowned accolade?
Is that Middleton nr Rochdale? If so even i am an intellectual colossus there! Local intellects are focused on drug dealing & walking without dribbling.. 😛
Awsum!
Was this before or after the meat raffle?
If you lot want a response, you can contact my agent.
He'll be flogging squidgy black outside the Boar's Head about 9'ish.
Ask for Simon Solvent, he'll see you alright.
lol squidgy black, I'm not 16 again!
Was there pie and peas to celebrate? If not, it doesn't count!
Anyway Einstein ... When you showing me the trails round your neck of the woods? I'm working over there now. I've had a few post work jaunts, but would appreciate your local knowledge.
Were you the quiet one who didn't answer any questions for the team? There's always a hanger oner.
If not I bow to your superior knowledge and suggest mastermind next.
squidgy black - still equal parts dogshite and soreen ?
+1 for the real winner taking the meat raffle
I can't believe Middleton has a running club. The majority of residents have only enough energy and dexterity to simultaneously smoke a superking and gnaw on a hot chicken leg. I worked in Middleton for many years and have never seen as many black eyes and plaster casts. Average IQ=7.
Maybe it's the Middleton Running (away) Club?
They had BOTH pies, meat & potato/cheese & onion.
Peas (mushy), beetroot & red cabbage.
Top do, Midd Cricket Club, lovely place, you could almost be somewhere nice.
Binners;
Drop us an email, I'll check my rotas and yer on.
That Junky used to pop round for a brew on a Wednesday - does he call? Does he write?
Not a vegetarian sausage.....
Good club, Midd Harriers, lots of good fell runners including the 82 year old father in law.
They do a road ride once a week, average age 60ish.
If you ever want your arse handed to you on a plate, drop em a line.
Jesus, it's savage.
I hate running. It's undignified.
Maybe it's the Middleton Running (away) Club?
PMSL
If in doubt, run AWAY from Langley. 😀
And Hollins!
A selection of pies? Dear god! They know how to put on a spread! Proper brain food, are pies!
Why was I not informed of this before?
Pfft.Intellectual nonsense
Do you know I was Overall Junior Sportsman of the Week (Whit Week)at Pontins, Isle of Wight 1973 including a runner's up spot in the table tennis and outright winner of the Donkey Derby(real donkeys).I got to meet Chester Barnes 🙂 to collect my trophy which I still have, although my eldest daughter makes me take it off the mantelpiece when we have visitors.
Middleton born and bred btw.
Anyway. Enough of this quiz night winner sycophancy.
In 1977, I came 2nd in a Tarzan competition at Pontins, Middleton Towers.
Prize? A ready-reckoner and.......a box of Arrowbars.

I worked there briefly 10 years ago. I used to go to the arndale at lunchtimes. Never seen so many people suddenly start limping when the only bloke in Middleton wearing a suit walked in....
What's a ready reckoner?
Nice result re the Arrow Bars btw. 🙂
I like Midd.
Not to live in, obviously.
But l spent many, many nights in Midd - most of my mates live there.
As a result I've developed a taste for Lees Bitter and I never, ever sit with my back to a pub door.
RS. A ready-reckoner was a pocket sized book of conversion tables.
Holland's Arrow bars IIRC,banana and toffee were my fave.

Not only does Middleton have a running club, but you're in it?!? 🙂 make the ride out a proper thread please, if its something other than a Monday evening I'll have a chance of making it
That Junky used to pop round for a brew on a Wednesday - does he call? Does he write?
Not a vegetarian sausage...
You made me feel stupid and inferior . in my heart I knew i was not worthy
I moved jobs but should have let you know
Apologies
up for a bimble with binners ,you and the good lady
i do know the difference between s**t and shinola dont you know 😉
Never knew you were a runner Pete. Come over and do my night fell race next Feb. if only for the drinking after... ;0)
Whoa, let's just take a reality check, shall we?
I last ran in 1987, having misjudged last orders and the distance between The Pev and The Salisbury.
Never again.
I can't run.
My brain can't work out in which order my limbs are supposed to move.
Sue's family are, or have all been members at some point.
I stand at checkpoints and take photos occasionally. 🙂
You know Roy Lee or Pete Gilligan Mr Sparkle?
Pete you and I could do 3 legged racing with pie stops 😉
As I'm about twice the size of you I could carry you if your feeling tired 😮
