MF - ne1 else making the trip from the Trotters?
Thought I'd drop in on this thread (I've been evesdropping on the Bristol thread for ages!) I think I might try the 'Bunny' on Monday. However....at my speed, even on a good day, I'll still be at or near the end. Someone please help me by keeping the chocolate away from Sweetie!
DB Glad you are making such a good recovery...I'd love to aspire to your (injured) times. (Takes me 26+ mins to do 5k!) Still love reading your jokes!
To all on thread(s) doing FLM good luck! I'm very jealous cos I couldn't get in this year and can't afford to risk a charity place (can't afford to fund any shortfall in money!)
I'll be cheering you all on in Docklands (the 17/20 mile bit as there is a 400m cut through between these two points, right next to a pub - what more can spectators want?!)
ONE-POINT DARES
1. Ignore the first five people who say 'good morning' to you.
2. To signal the end of a conversation, clamp your hands over your
ears and grimace.
3. Leave your fly open for one hour. If anyone points it out,
say,"Sorry,I really prefer it this way".
4. Walk sideways to the photocopier.
5. While riding in an lift, gasp dramatically every time the doors
open.
6. When in the lift with one other person, tap them on the shoulder
and pretend it wasn't you.
7. Finish all your sentences with "In accordance with the
prophecy..."
8. Don't use any punctuation.
9. Interrupt your conversation with someone by giving a huge
dejected sigh.
10. Use your highlighter pen on the computer screen.
THREE-POINT DARES
1. Say to your boss, "I like your style", wink, and shoot him with
double-barrelled fingers.
2. Kneel in front of the water cooler and drink directly from the
nozzle.
3. Shout random numbers while someone is counting.
4. Every time you get an email, shout "email".
5. Put decaf in the coffee maker for 3 weeks. Once everyone has got
over his or her caffeine addictions, switch to espresso.
6. Keep hole punching your finger. Each time you do,
shout,"dagnamit, it's happened again!". Then do it again.
7. Introduce yourself to a new colleague as "the office bicycle".
Then wink and pout.
8. Call I.T. helpdesk and tell them that you can't seem to access
any pornography web sites.
FIVE-POINT DARES
1. At the end of a meeting, suggest that, for once, it would be
niceto conclude with the singing of the national anthem (extra points if you actually launch into it yourself).
2. Walk into a very busy person's office and while they watch you
with growing irritation, turn the light switch on/off 10 times.
3. For an hour, refer to everyone you speak to as "Dave".
4. Announce to everyone in a meeting that you "really have to go do
a number two".
5. When you've picked up a call, before speaking finish off some
fake conversation with the words, "she can abort it for all I care".
6. After every sentence, say 'Mon' in a really bad Jamaican accent.
As in: "The report's on your desk, Mon." Keep this up for one hour.
7. In a meeting or crowded situation, slap your forehead
repeatedlyand mutter, "Shut up, damn it, all of you just shut up!"
8. At lunchtime, get down on your knees and announce, "As God is
mywitness, I'll never go hungry again!"
9. Repeat the following conversation 10 times to the same person:
"Do you hear that?"
"What?"
"Never mind, it's gone now."
10. Present meeting attendees with a cup of coffee and biscuit;
smash each biscuit with your fist.
11. During the course of a meeting, slowly edge your chair towards
the door.
12. As often as possible, skip rather than walk.
13. Ask people what sex they are. Laugh hysterically after they
answer.
14 . Dry hump the photocopier. When someone spots you, stop and cough embarrassingly, then lean in to the machine and whisper loudly, "I'll see you tonight".
15. While a colleague is writing, grab their pen and throw it out of
the nearest open window.
Might actually try some of these when I go back to work on Tuesday :-)
..if I dare!!!
Little competition coming up then next Tuesday, Wrinty.
How about bonus points for nicking Easter Eggs from runners after they cross the finish line on Monday. In theory they shouldn't be able to catch us, but seperating a woman from her chocolate can have serious and unexpected consequences:-)
As you drive into where the race ultimately finishes, you drive round to the left where you park up. There's a small clubhouse where there'll be info and eotd etc etc.
I hope to be there for about 10 and enjoy a thorough warm up on the sportsfield.
I'll be warming up all in blue and racing all in blue.
I'll find you!
No 668
probably wearing light blue WRN top (if cold it will have sleeves - if warm it will be exposing rather more flesh than I probably should but only club kit I have!)
Warm up? Whats that then?
If I do a warm up I feel knackered before I start the race!
Ploddyone, no worries about your egg... the Boffettes will keep it company until you finish
I'll be lurking somewhere near you so I can see how much bare flesh Rio is going to reveal!
Did a slow 5m today...oh my poor bum hurts!
Glad the Boffettes will guard my egg...they might have to stand guard for a long time though, judging by today's run...
But I'll be there ... some of us will do anything for free chocolate!
I bet your slow 5m today was still quicker than my quick 3 yesterday!! Knees playing up a bit but not sure if it is psychological or not!!
Think if I offer to rub your bum others will take that the wrong way???!!! ;o)
Mak should I be praying for rain then? My flesh really isnt that special. I know I just checked in the mirror today! I just dont really have any summer WRN kit! Looks like I need to buy some more! Dont want to be indecent in all my summer runs!
...be right on the day:))
Oh well Rio - I'll just have to hobble!!!
Deebs - it's a good job it only bit your knee ;-))

DB9: I always told Mrs.MF that gardening was much to dangerous, seems like you proved me right. Will you be hobbling at my speed or Rio's now?
Did you see the Western Gazzette? it had a photo of Mak and Me at the Penselwood 10k.
I'll avoid the obvious - "anyone want to suck the pison out" line!!!
MF - saw the WG - and Mr J with you too - he's at The Bunny as eotd.
Rio - I'll sort your knee!!
<<adds knee to list for magic rub>>
£500 to find!

Just arrived back in Somerset for a visit, I've been talked into running the race on Monday and will be flying my new club colours (not disimilar to YTRRC) of Brandon Fern Hoppers. It'll be the first time I've run the race since 98!
See you at the start.
