Frank Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 I've been asked to give an update on the contenders for this year's Hammock Prize so I've listed the main offenders in order of their position in the betting. Evens Favourite - Darryl "The Wheel" Gunnson. There isn't much he doesn't know about punctures - apart from how to avoid them it seems. 2/1 - Jim "Heinz" Daly. Our defending champion. There are 57 ways to press the self-destruct button on a race day and Jim is working his way through them! 3/1 - Kenny "The Collector" Steele. How many bikes do you need not to compete in club events??? 4/1 - Alan "Small Ads" McLean. Love me, love my fishtank! 5/1 - Kenny "Coolio" Christie. Who else co-ordinates the colour of Oakleys with overshoes -especially when they're fluorescent green! So there you have the form men. No doubt things will change as the season progresses and the list will be updated. Feel free to add to the nominations! Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KennyS Posted May 30, 2009 Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 That's alright for you Darryl but I can't get to the next two TTs with any of my collection due to coaching at BoW. Might speak with the chief com though and request that I can split the ride into two legs. The first on my way there and the second on the way home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kenny MacDonald Posted May 30, 2009 Members Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 Late contenders now rising through the ranks Simon the technical guru Simpson( who hasnt gave us his view on why Macgunson is prone to puncturing yet ) Kenny Steele :- the man with so many bikes he has had to build a warehouse in the back garden is edging closer to the top of the league . He is now buying them colour coordinated with his St Mirren jersey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Posted May 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 We are contemplating a spectacular Britains got talent style phone in final for this years hammock award . Suggestions for the panel please ??? I can exclusively reveal the behind-the-scenes manouevres currently under way to gain a place on that that prestigious judging panel. Kenny Mac is making a big play to be the Joansins' answer to Simon Cowell due to striking similarities in dress sense - he wears his trousers pulled right up to his armpits as well! Kenny also says many people have said he looks like Simon's double - aye right Kenny, Simple Simon mibbies Our ex-cycling superstar, Stevie Blom, has thrown his hat into the ring. Ever the modest one, Stevie compares himself to Piers Morgan citing his new "sophisticated lifestyle, innat". He must be mixing with the Balmoral mob I think. Either that or he's fallen off the bike and landed on his heid again! Lastly, the selection committee feel that the feminine viewpoint should be catered for and candidates for the Amanda Holden role include Vicky Begg and Colin Howard. Vicky is an obvious candidate because as the Blomster so eloquently puts it, "she's a classy burd, innat" but Colin is worth an outside bet due to his permatan legs and natty line in co-ordinated cycling accessories. Tough call. Of course this could and probably will, all change. Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Committee Alan McLean Posted June 1, 2009 Committee Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 +1 for Kenny and his mancave of bike tat. He has roofed over his entire back garden to build an industrial bike storage unit explicitly not constructed from leftover lift parts, allegedly.

a.yeoman Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 +another 1 for Kenny I've seen his lift storage unit (even had a hand in building it) and can tell you all it is very impressive. Plenty of room for his ever increasing collection. I am even considering moving some of my bike collection from the clubrooms to his storage lift Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2024 Subscriptions Darryl Gunson Posted June 2, 2009 2024 Subscriptions Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 Did 2 hours through and off with PMcD, Ramsay, Jim and Black Bob without a puncture - although I was hoping for one I think this lets me off the hook for now, no?
