Caress is good but running like a balerina?

Stroke takes too long.
Like moonwalking.

I remember a Chinese female runner from the last olympics who ran without moving her arms at all.

If we're talking about good technique, my favourite to watch is Seb Coe. His running looked effortless to me. Especially at speed

I can't remember her name, Yorkshire Rob, but I was fascinated!  It looked like quite an unnatural style.

I prefer 'stroke' the ground.

The OED definition of 'stroke' is: "The act or an instance of striking"

Ohhhhhhh, I just got the joke, I'm a bit slow!

Stroke and strike. A close match between the two in terms of what makes the least sense in regards a runners placement of their foot.

Please could you rewrite that in English as I have no idea what you mean!

No, that would be blancmange, or Basingstoke.

So caressing the ground, would that be striking it in a loving manner?

I bet Ricky's a right laugh at dinner parties!

Actually, I think that scissors should be called paperfrunks.

What bit of common language do you think should be changed, and why?

And do you think that blathering on about it incessantly on some internet chatroom will make a huge difference?

Come on Ricky, you're doing this for a laugh aren't you?

Please say you are.

Anyone remember "Strike It Lucky"? What did the audience shout when Barrymore said "What's a hot spot not?"?

[Deleted User]

For swimming in?

[Deleted User]

if i was on come dine with me I wouldn't be hosting Barrymore - i've got a pool in the garden...

He broke Pat Sharp's dinner plates just because he was cooking Greek.  I'd have fucking lamped him.

Please keep the posts pertinent to the thread. Please keep your hate to yourselves.

Did the plates strike the floor?

[Deleted User]

Do you think that is an unnecessarily violent description of how they touched the floor?
