Piccadilly Gardens Lucozade Stop

Rod Hull and Emo

The Lucozade Sport support van was a vital part of the bananathon, carrying fuel to keep us going throughout the arduous event. I for one drank five or six bottles during the day and it really helped the team of support runners to keep hydrated. Tom the banana would have flaked out had he not kept drinking as temperatures soared into the seventies ripening his yellow skin.


Foxy pays homage to Primark

The idea of a fitness class in the middle of Piccadilly Gardens had been a great one, but with complexities of gaining a licence, not being able to advertise in the immediate vicinity and unavoidably losing our fitness instructor with two days to go it didn't turn out quite as originally planned.
Fay wonders if she has slipped into a parallel universe

Sunshine studios came to the rescue in the shape of Fay, who hours earlier had taught us how to pole dance. She grabbed the megaphone and barked out orders to the crew whilst a crowd of over-excited Emos grabbed the only parts of me which were left covered as I attempted to work muscles that had been on the go for over seven hours. Fay did a brilliant job leading us through a routine comprising star jumps, lunges and, most evilly, situps.
We collected some money at this point also as we chanced upon Stockport Harriers Coaches Beav and Tooley who were on their way to watch Manchester's footballing version of the Harlem Globe Trotters.
Big thanks to Lucozade Sport and Sunshine Studios.
