Tough Guy™ News

 

 

 

 

 

Breaking News……Visionary News……Illuminating News

 

Many men have had a vision of the past and spent their lives in mundane pursuit of preaching to assemblies of most times eager listeners.  (Enoch Powell probably the greatest academic mind who gave himself in later life to serve his King and Country as a Parliamentarian.  Attempting to hold English values to England for English people, he was misquoted and his visions, many years before his time, were used by Thatcher and subsequent Governments in their leap forward).

 

Visionaries are seldom young because it is only the wisdom of age that can give the mind, Sage qualities.

 

The preacher with his power of good that is extolled is oft times drowned by hecklers and adversaries, whose passion is to kill the icon.  The Devil works on sweet tunes to the adversaries.

 

God works in mysterious ways to give goodness its opportunity.

 

Many people today are in hopeless despair that Anarchy and Evil are swamping the lives of the Goodness People, so much that 200,000 have emigrated in 2006.  Disgusted that the values of our life have been washed away by bureaucrats from Brussels and Parliament who are convinced that they must invent 10 new laws before breakfast to disturb/repair that which didn’t need fixing in our lives.

 

The police have resigned from their time honoured duties, the RSPCA have abandoned the animals ‘en masse’, all of them bowed by bureaucracy, controlled by their pay packet job.

 

So will the emigrants find a new world?  Or will they go on wandering like the lost tribes of ancient mythology?  Other countries do not welcome strangers who no doubt will try to alter their culture.

 

What about the elderly and vulnerable they have left behind?

 

In the wars between 1914 and 1945 men sang ‘There’s no place like home, Boy.  There’s no place like home’.

 

Thus I believe that strong communities like Tough Guy™ can break and make a difference to the way forward, out of the mire and into the great world of a better place to live in honour of those who gave their lives in wars past, the elderly who love their country and our next generations whom we owe a debt to make good.

 

Avoiding Death

No one can avoid death of your human body.

 

The universe is vast and will never reject a noble spirit.  The body and the spirit are joined together in this wonderful world that we all strive to love and enjoy.

 

Death is fate, your ticket is booked.  By meditation, you can find the platform your ticket leaves from, but you first have to find the platform where your meditation begins!  (Read Tough Guy Mantra below).

 

Select any word from Tough Guy™ speak.  Use it to steel up your willpower to straighten all bends in life’s journey.

 

Each day grant yourself 20 minutes of peace.

 

Lie on a hard floor, your bended arm is your pillow.

 

Your knees perpendicular to your ass.

 

Your feet resting on a chair for convenience.

 

Darken the room – cut all sounds to silence.

 

Close your eyes and gaze at the disappearing white dot.

 

Think from your toes of each bone in singular passing up through your body to the very tips of your fingers.

 

At each bone repeat your mantra word.

 

As the 20 minutes pass, you will awake resplendent and refreshed.

 

After 2 weeks of practice you will adopt this magical 20 minutes each day, you won’t need a clock.

 

So live your life to the full, do what you enjoy, push your body and spirit to the limits and beyond.  You will survive, if you don’t your platform has arrived.

 

Mr Mouse has in his wonderful life been to Hell and back a number of times.  He once held hands with the Devil for 5 years (by golly, it was hot with all the Devil’s enjoyable goodies).  He has looked Death in the face and beat the life out of the bastard on several exciting trips.

 

But he is here today telling you these wisdomic stories.

 

Tough Guy™, you have a mission.

 

To enter you have to sign that you deliberate your mind and body to withstand any physical and mental pain barrier which Tough Guy™ imposes.

 

Tough Guy™ has a mission to batter your physical ability to the very shreds of your endurance.

 

To take you to the knife edge of death and as you balance on the pinnacle you can see the vision of that better world in Heaven.  But ‘Wait On’ shouts one of God’s consorts.  ‘You are too early, you are not yet reserved your platform ticket.  Go back to the world, enjoy and multiply the goodness’.

 

We here at Tough Guy™ recognise this trip you are teetering on, we grab ya, smack some life back into your bloodstream with a bit of roughage.

 

You awake and find yourself a blooded Tough Guy™.  You have commenced your learning that Tough Guy™ has a mission to make the world a better place for our own kids and the kids around us.  For one day we all will be old, frail and grateful, that we taught the young people the love of honouring their elders.

 

 

Comparing Costs of Entry Fees

 

There is no comparison with Tough Guy™ High Standards

 

Tens of thousands of restaurants together with tens of thousands of hotels with restaurants compete daily for high standards.

 

Each also measures to a price per service to reflect their efficiency and deliverance.

 

Rick Stein in Padstow is an experience of very high standard and is pretty permanently booked at an average £100 per meal.

 

Raymond Blanc, Le Manoir, Oxfordshire is an iconoclastic experience and ‘deux chevaux’ gastronomic enjoyment.  The cost is immaterial for this unique class of food.  Don’t go there if you are on a budget.

 

Tens of thousands of Running, Xtreme venture, Triathlon events etc compete for high standards and competitors costs are from the drop of a hat run around the track £5, to £145.00 for a swim, bike, run around London.

 

Only one Tough Guy™ event in the whole world offers you an unforgettable experience in the Safest most Dangerous Sport .

 

The cost of this experience is a gift for such wealth that you acquire from the experience.

 

In the words of a South African visitor Penny Godfrey:- 'As I and my partner hand in hand approached the finish line the emotions that ran through my body was incredible, I couldn't help but cry.

Afterwards, I was on such a high - no drug could ever provide what I was feeling naturally!  It was like for the first time in my life every single cell in my body had woken up!  It's only when you break out of the mould you've created for yourself and extend beyond what you think you can do, that you realise you are capable of anything.  Now I know for sure that I have the mind power and physical strength to do anything I want, I will no longer sweat the small stuff'.

 

Philosophy of Tough Guy™

Tough Guy™ is you looking at yourself.

How you always wanted to be

How you were, how you are

How you will be…be…be.

 

 

 

New for January 2009 SKY WALK BRIDGES

These will enable the countryside horror route to be extended by 3 miles before hitting the Killing Fields.

 

 

 

As we surface from our pods where we have flopped out our exhaustion, follow my 2007 mighty step forward our eyes are gazing at the scene of beauty in Death Valley.

 

The sounds of your fun and fear are still ringing around as the horses graze the tasty nibbles of fresh shoots.

 

Had Tough Guy™ been a week later the gales of snow have only scratched us but certainly it is a wind chill factor  that would have crumbled the weak.

 

Even though it was sunny and warm on Sunday 27th January there were still a lot of hypothermia especially amongst the younger competitors and slower girls.

 

Training For Toughguy™?

 

Take the gypsy warning that hypothermia does not take prisoners.  Pneumonia and death are lurking in the shivers of the unready.

 

Make it an essential part of your training.  Wear a hat, socks, gloves and willy warmer – covering the extremities of your body where the warmth leaks out.  You must carry a rucksack with an extra layer or two. 

 

We have lost 5 Tough Guy™s in extreme training in less than 5 years!!  Here at Tough Guy we have all safety factors in place.  Out there is high risk.

 

The Safest Most Dangerous Sport

Worldwide fame has arrived, you are part of it.

 

Enjoy the adrenaline thrills, boast with confidence that you were here and completed 90% of the course.  You have piddled up our fence and will come back to take up the challenge.

 

Live TV  This is our next venture.  Practise your extreme efforts as professional Tough Guy™.  Look good without glaring at the camera.  There is a 30 second delay whence a Producer decides to cut out the Posers.

 

Cost of Entry Fee

Nothing in this world compares with the mighty Tough Guy™ course.  The building of it, the maintenance, the rebuilding and creation elements can only be, because a permanent construction staff are in paid jobs.

 

Summer Tougher Nettle Warrior XI

Eleven years ago the shout for a second helping of Tough Guy™ grit, spit and shit in your eye brought the brilliant idea of replacing ice freeze with Nettle Torture.

 

Secondly, the entry level has grown to its new climax of being sold out

 

SO ENTER EARLY.  We do limit entry levels because greed of tens of thousands would ruin the glory of Tough Guy™.  Bottlenecks ain’t good.

 

The support staff medics, marshals, divers, security are hard pressed and more would need more if we accepted more entries.

 

New for Summer  Zip wire Descent, Coal Shuttle Descent, Stair and Straw Diving descent from the new sky walks.

 

Behemoth Blarney Stone  The Behemoth is being reconstructed to greater levels of fear in the air.

 

Vietcong Tunnels  A new screaming cavern of blackness will be added to get lost in.

 

Sky Walks  New sky walks will be constructed to allow a pre tour of Tough Guy™ and add 3 miles of countryside terror.

Lost Property

Postage and packing will be refunded.

 

 

 

 

 

Shorter Sweeter 2008

 

Magnificent - Vito Graffagnino first home in 55 minutes – Magnifico

 

Tough Guy™ success is a marvellous accolade for all.

 

Competitors from all over the world flock to experience this phenomenal event taking place in the Valley of Death and Beautiful Dreams at Old Perton.

 

The magnificent message of Tough Guy™ is now being spoken in thousands of cities, towns and homesteads worldwide.  Canada, USA, Brazil, Portugal, Europe, Asia, Aussie and the Far East all would like to build a Tough Guy™ course to snake out the message.

 

Unfortunately, the immediate neighbours of Tough Guy™ are no longer happy with

 

So January 27th 2008 was 15 minutes shorter in the leg stretch prior to the Tough Guy™ ordeal.

 

A very small insignificant individual or two have complained bitterly and threatened to boycott.

 

My reply is either toe the line with your boots blacked, on feet with heels together and your back straight, eyes forward by February 29th.   oO suffer the ignominy of being cast out of Tough Guy™ news and contact database.

 

Enough said.

 

Future

We have plans to build sky walks around the perimeter of Tough Guy™ Killing Fields.

 

This will enable contestants to have a preview look at what is in store for them whilst the fast legs can stretch Tough Guy™ competitors snake and add an extra 15/20 minutes to their leg room.

 

The phenomena of 3000 finishers in under 2 hrs 40 minutes has its roots in the expansion of the Tiger, the Paradise, the Underwater Cavern and other Tough Guy™ assaults NO BLOODY BACKLOG QUEUES!

 

 

It is also down to the tremendous fitness of competitors in general.  This is a WOW factor that can only relate to the influence of Tough Guy™ philosophy of All Body Exercise Training which will surely give humankind a happier healthy longer life.  Giving inspiration and a window of opportunity to Couch Potatoes and Yobs on Street Corners that is not related to materialism, but is equal opportunity to all.

 

 


 

Barabbas 

 

 

 

 

Barabbas grinned as he was chosen for release whilst Jesus was crucified.

Barabbas got the salt mines.

The deeper ya dig, you go blind and never come out.

Barabbas survived even that. He was a Tough Guy™.

Toughibuddy Feast of Friends.co.uk opens the window of success to even Barabbas who would

certainly start in the squad from Hell, "Bollocks To You".

However, by joining Toughguy™ the rouges an robbers can find salvation and continue

better society for our future generations. Remember Australia started with convicts from England!

Tough Guy™ is a sort of stately salt mine where we drag the dregs of society kicking and screaming

into the mainstream society. Some do take the window of opportunity, losers get trampled by the good guys

So now to the Battle Gauntlet for Yankees.

 

                    

2008 Challenge was accepted by Air Commandos who finished a respectable 44th overall position the experience will bring them back with a stronger challenger for next year if they learn stair diving and bootlace hanging.

Yohimbé – Translation

It is an ancient war cry of African tribes, in their effort to antagonise and strike fear into the enemy. Listen carefully to the Zulus as they overcome Rourke’s Drift. Yohimbé, translated says:‘My Dick’s bigger than yours’. How else could a bunch of men in skirts beat Stanley Baker, Michael Caine, James Booth and that great team?
