[RTKangaMummy]

THAT SHE HAS FINISHED HER CYCLE RIDE AROUND CUBA

RIDING ABOUT 200 kms iirc

that she is going to spend the time up to Christmas at home with her family and so will be back again in January

Which is a shame cos Ruth is sooooooooo irritating but I think that if she wants too be home then ok good for her

? what was cuba about?

presumably to put her marriage back on track?

My friend is out there in Cuba doing the ride with Fern (and the other 83 women!)

She rode with about 85 other women around cuba raising money for a womans medical charity

she has done them in previous years in eygpt and india

the next one is in china

they ride about 200 km in 5 days

whoops she isn't the one with the DEEP HEAT incident though is she?

Eh, what's the matter with her marriage?

don't know I don't read magazines or newspapers cos they just print rubbish

Phil was on THIS MORNING today talking to fern on telephone and he is deffo still there at home

RT I have no Idea! I am at work so haven't seen any of the coverage about it!
I will question her about that though when I see her

One of the women had a sore area in her nether regions {ie around her lady garden} and she thought she was putting on a cream to help with healing but it was Deep Heat and so was in agony!!!!!!!!

poor woman was sitting on grass trying to wipe it off and cool herself down

shame she isnt on til jan

fab that she has finished the ride - great that she raises money for charity

but i still think she lied to public about her band - she should have said she had it done - but hey ho

Bloody Ruth - can't stand her - just thinking about her oaf of a husband makes me want to puke - that she could actually marry him and sleep with him bleugh!!!

Hurry back Ferny.

Oh no do we have to put up with Ruth her voice just irritates me.
Surely they could find someone else.
What about Alison ?

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH Alison and Philip would be soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much fun

Ruth - aarrrgh!! The woman doesn't have a humorous bone in her body. I cannot stand her. Alison would be fab.

at least that is only 5 weeks

wonder what fern will look like after all that 'time off with her family'

maybe we should see how big we can get this thread and send it to ITV.

WE FIND RUTH VERY VERY IRRITATING PLEASE FIND ANOTHER PRESENTER.

Oh I agree about Ruth

but not half as irritating as her DH- he makes me gasp in shock at his general terrible-ness

please tell me - I'm usually at work so don't see it - who's Ruth's DH?

Eamonn Holmes

Humphrey! Are you suggesting surgery ??

Aah - what a well suited couple
