Hardest Geezer: Youtube channel

[Mumbles274]

I can’t believe I need to repeat myself.
It’s not about me as an individual

But it was a joke at you as an individual on this forum? The joke was how the dude has run all that way and posted on here. That is directed at you, not people with ginger hair?

 

[felixthecat]

how does he pay for it all/survive? I'd quite like to do a challenge for a year but I'd have no money...

He had sponsorship from a number of companies (Huel, Hoka and a few others) to support him and his team on the run. It truly was done on a shoestring budget though.

My mates take the piss out of me for looking like someone famous (won't say who!).. When they do that I'm not thinking it's about everyone that looks like that or them, it's a joke, it kinda sucks but it's just a joke. Don't know if that makes sense?

It's hard to gauge the intent of laughing with me not at me on the net I find so totally understand if you felt attacked. My sense is you are someone people would want to laugh with, not at when it comes to this place

Not sure what there is to laugh at

 

[Mumbles274]

Orang Utan don't want to tell you how to think or feel but I'm fairly sure the origanal joke was aimed at you with the intention of you finding it funny too, I can see why you didn't and why it pisses you off. I'd like to think you could go ah yeah, fuck it, not important, shit happens, it's not actually an attack on me or anything you feel it is. Does that make sense?

Not sure what there is to laugh at

Nothing about being ginger. Just about the common factor you and the dude have together. If he had looked like Clare balding and someone had said, amazing how mumbles ran africa and posted on urban , I would have got the joke.. Shit, I've just revealed my mates think I look like Clare balding

 

[Mumbles274]

Basically it's not about how you Look, but the similarities, and I understand why becuase it's about being ginger it pisses you off, and that's fair enough. Your right to share how you feel and I for one have listened

Brit running length of Africa bites back after being called 'ginger fraud'

Russ Cook has been running through the continent for six months and is documenting it all on Strava and Youtube but that's not been good enough for one critic who seems to think it's all made up

Why is he being called a ginger fraud?

Edited. Was going to post something holistic and soothing in Mumbles Stylee, but..
I can't think of the considered words.

Let's all have a good sleep and post shit on other threads tomorrow. Not on this one.

 

[Orang Utan]

Not on this one.

Why not?

 

[AverageJoe]

Because it's about a guy who ran the length of Africa and raised over (now) 895k for charity.

“We are rising money for two charities - the first one is The Running Charity which tries to engage people in sport right here in the UK.

“The second one is Sandblast, who do work in the Saharah - there’s a refugeee camp with 100,000 people in it and no know knows about it and they run educational and cultural programs there"

Whats not to like about that?

 

[moomoo]

He was my hero. He’s not now. Pah.

 

[pbsmooth]

I’m being bombarded by his brand partnership ads…

 

[Orang Utan]

Why does he call himself the hardest geezer? He doesn’t look he’d give a paper bag much trouble.
Did he beat someone up in each country he ran through?

 

[AverageJoe]

He was my hero. He’s not now. Pah.

He literally said on TV when he'd finished his run that he wasn't going to do that.
