For those of you who were there - enjoy. For those of you who were not there - enjoy. For those of you who will find something to moan about in this film - enjoy For those of you who are really sad that our 3rd MWC was delivered fairly successfully - my apologies. For those of you stunned I am in the Hall of Fame - you kinda had to be there over the past decade. For those of you who thought the Tomatin Toss Guinness World Caber Tossing was a bad thing - please ask the athletes about the T Shirts and how much fun they had doing it. For those of you who miss the Elephant in the Room posts - I'll be back. Group Hug Gerry

The great thing about Big Ed's post is that he "gets" what MWC2014 in Inverness was all about.
Anyone who thinks that your legacy as a Highland Games athlete is going to be measured in feet and inches is missing the point. Unless you are breaking world records .... you are going to be remembered for how you make people feel. It is funny that nobody ever posts a story about anybody's world record attempt. The stories that we share, the moments that we treasure, the memories that we will cherish forever... we don't measure them... we live them... we feel them... we love them!! My proudest moment at MWC2014 was when someone came up to me...shook my hand... and said " I get you. I didn't before. But I do now". Whenever you sit amongst fellow Heavies.... make sure they "get" you.

I still think you should put "elephant" in the title no matter the subject, it is good fun watching everyone get worked up.

18 stones or 252 pounds.
It is the clean launch over the 5 foot knock off bar that catches out many who can lift if off the ground. |

So doe the elephant give any credit to the MWC i.e. Kevin Rogers and his staff? Or did the elephant do everything himself? Just a Question.... because I cant recall a past MWC where the AD took all the credit...

Yawn.. that was a bit desperate... even for you Big Nappy.
I guess you missed the reference to "our MWC" right at the start Never mind. Nice try |

Big Nappy... guess what... sorry to spoil your day but every member of the MWC2014 team was thanked collectively and individually in public and in private at the appropriate time.
Game set and match

Is that ALL you have Big Nappy? Folk can actually read what I posted above. Making stuff up is not the finest use of your talents. |
