I saw it in a write up on the fire walking.
I thought he must be mad, but quickly realised he'll do anything to keep away from baby talk!

Have you got the nursery decorated yet Ali?

If I've read this correct Ali's finished the race which is amazing in itself.

145 722 GUTHRIE Alistair H GB 01H45'53 0H37'19 9,92

Position 145? Out of 722? Bloody impressive if that is his overal position.

Hi Guys

thanks for your support, especially the 'Tash', its all going to a good cause. The event was hard, chuffing hard, and a bought of the sh1ts nearly put an end to it for me. Shared a tent with some bloke who broke the record for rowing across the Antlantic and a ex-SAS dood.....needless to say the Northern spirit kicked in and I left them for dead.

Anyhow less of this stuff who's out flying tomorow?

Ali
