I should be turning up, provided that I can get my boss' signature on the leave request...

Hi Senji and other recent posters. Will be great to have you along on Friday, and I look forward to meeting you/catching up with you then.

There will be an award for the best team name by the way, so get thinking...if I remember right, last year's was won by 'Snow White and the Seven Sisters'

Which was an absolute steal from "Euston, we have a problem", clearly a better name.

Would it be illegal to run under the same name again, and hope no-one can better it this time around?

I don't actually plan to use it again, but I was just wondering.

Of course it's allowed - if you have a good, established name, use it! But clearly the prize is most likely out of reach...

Will the winner appointed by the organÃƒÂsers or will there be a vote in the pub?

As the organisers are taking part I suggest that as a non-participant I have the decision.

Just a suggestion mind.

The team name is just a bit of fun, nothing more! (I said an award, not a prize remember)

So believe it or not we won't disqualify anyone for picking the same name as before. As for who decides, it is in hand, but I think it was pretty obvious last year which ones were the best. There's not much chance of "Ric's team" mysteriously being awarded the best name. I haven't got a name yet though. Or a team in fact!

That's why I suggested a non-biased person choose the name

Yes as the organisers are all partaking then I agree Mr Tubeguru should select the "award" for best team name

Well lets hope for better weather (currently raining and very grey for those not in London area) and better service on Friday..... At present Circle, District and H & C all severe delays......

It could be tough going out there

It's going to be sort of wet I think.

You'll be OK - if everyone has the same problems then it's all fair.

Thursday looks pretty ok to me (for the moment) - a light shower won't be a problem and 21 degrees is quite perfect...

I disagree, I think we should pick the winner by an International tele-vote

Having acquired a rather painful bruise on my arse yesterday from slipping down the steps into Oxford Circus (when I wasn't even running), I shall not be amused if it does turn out to be wet on Friday...
