And so the Whinging Begins

SSWC miserabilists moaning about the organisation already.

Or to paraphrase…

“I know the website said 48 hours, but it’s been 2 hours and I’ve not had a reply to my email that I sent at 1am. Why is the organisation of this race so rubbish, why aren’t they giving me stuff for free, blah, blah, fucking blah.”

It would serve some folk right if they had entered on time, but then seeing as they whinged before the organisers had a chance to sort through all the entries they were thrown out for being miserable cocks.

After cashing their cheques.

    Full???, how can this be? This is the first time I have even heard a murmur of a website!!!!

    I am raising money for MNDA see www.justgiving.com/XXXX and I have been planning to do this race all year![/i]

    er, except the website has been up since late last year and he’s not bothered to get in touch at any point…

    Anyone doing the Singlespeed Worlds for Charidee is surely doing it for the wrong reasons. Or were they being sponsored for liver damage?

    Call me a sceptic but I would have thought it was a blag, in the “my 6 month old daughter has a terminal illness and I was raising money”… fukimof
