Speedo Mick

[emmie]

so named because has been walking from John O' Groats to Lands End
dressed only in speedos, hiking boots and an Everton scarf and not a
lot else, well done i say.
he has raised 268 thousand pounds so far for charity, what a remarkable achievement
see if i can find a link.

Well done indeed.

[emmie]

Fantastic

He has made a remarkable effort imo and very good luck to him. I have just seen him on BBC1 Breakfast. His speedos are fine (not as eye-catching as Daniel Craig) and he is still collecting money as he nears his goal.

[emmie]

pasta, it is isn't it. they keep on asking him why he is wearing only budgie smugglers, and his reply is
why not. He must be freezing, walking over a thousand miles in this weather.

[emmie]

sure there will be people out there who would like to donate along the last leg.

He's up to £295,950 ...

What a fantastic achievement! He deserves a hot bath at the end. :-)

He has overcome his addictions and as he says, 'Got his life back'. So triple praise for him.

Next time, he could take Rosie the soldier with him. ;-)

[emmie]

bet she wouldn't walk all that way in a bikini......

[emmie]

it is a fantastic achievement, fair play to him..

[Tilly2]

...I bet she would...

[emmie]

actually she probably would, she is a triathlete, so is used to wearing a swimming costume..

[Tilly2]

There you go! :-)

[emmie]

i like stories like this, it's life affirming

[emmie]
