Looks like you've got your article.
No dont thank me. I was just happy to help out.
If not a flying drop kick often works (does me knees in though!)
And I bet it seemed such a good idea during the extended RW lunch with the wine flowing.
(Sorry Alison. I'm sure there'll be some sensible suggestions soon)
Unfortunately the Chavs round here dont understand polite so it is normally a sharp rap in the nads then a "F*** **f, well no sense in warning them is there.....
That usually works. Sorry. That's not helping is?
Sunday evening after long hot day running along the river Mersey a bunch of scallies started chasing after me wanting to know how far I was running. My answer was " 9 miles" and that was enough to scare them off.
NB they were quite friendly really, even offered me a swig from their vodka bottle
:-)
Alternatively you use them to hit their mates with, saves the knuckles.
(I normally speed up and challenge anyone to stay with me - mostly they are too scared or at best can't last more than 50m)
"well, I'm tired after the marathon yesterday"
"did you really run a marathon?"
"yep"
"how far is that?"
"26 miles"
"don't you get bored?"
"nah, it doesn't take *that* long"
(at which point he went back to stand with his mates. Ok, I was lying, but.....)
Less hasle then, cos i was runn9ng in a "good cause"
I get fed up with kids shouting "Wow, you're fast" I mean, haven't they ever seen anyone knocking out sub 5 minute miles before?
