This is what I ------

[Bazza1234]

used to look like, until I started running . Quite a change since then

[AncientMum Graduate]

Bazza are you being licked by a ray in that picture??

[Nellyharte Graduate]

Had to look at the pic for a few seconds to work out what was going on! Quite a transformation and well done to you. Thanks also for the inspirational and helpful posts along the way....

Bazza that's confusing!!! As photos go! Are you wearing a tankini???

[Tomas Graduate]

Good man! Swimming with the man rays in the ray bans. Just made that lady bit up

[Bazza1234 Graduate]

Ha!!! That put some right off their breakfasts!!!!

I was actually feeding this ray - by putting small fish down it's nostrils. The floral thingie is actually a shirt that has floated upwards. Taken in the Bora Bora lagoon google.com.au/search?q=bora...

For many years , I have wanted to die on the Isle of Capri -- however, I think it is now Bora Bora.

Why not just go for a visit and then go home again? I've heard of 'dying to visit somewhere', but visiting somewhere to die.......?

Ignore me Bazza. I know exactly what you meant but I'm feeling a bit silly today. I've read so many things on here this morning that have made me laugh out loud and Lizzibeths's comment below was the icing on the cake. Have a great day m'dear x

[AncientMum Graduate in reply to Bazza1234]

I'm sorry Bazza, but I'm still laughing. You say you were pushing little fish down a big fish's nose?? Hahaha Come on now, you've got to admit, it does sound pretty funny!

How bizarre ! xxx

[AncientMum Graduate in reply to poppypug]

It must be an Australian thing Pops -we don't have rays in Yorkshire and can't for the life of me imagin stuffing sprats down the nose of a haddock!

[poppypug Graduate in reply to AncientMum]

Ha ha , yep,the only fish Im used to is wrapped in paper with chips and scraps

Some fish give me the creeps , I don't know why, they just do , apart from my Dennis (Rest in pieces ) xxx

[Oldgirl Graduate in reply to poppypug]

We don't get many sun rays in Scotland let alone manta rays

[lizziebeth57 Graduate]

I had no idea what was going on there...don't think it would look the same here. North Sea and herring anyone ?

[AncientMum Graduate in reply to lizziebeth57]

Hahaha

[Caroline69 Graduate]

Haha made me chuckle

[poppypug Graduate]

What the hell is that ? Ha ha xxx

I'm glad I looked again at this - on my computer this time rather than my iphone. It looked very iffy indeed on my iphone. I tried turning my iphone around to work out what was what but the photo kept moving too (sometimes these smartphones are just too smart for me). Had Bazza a change of gender I wondered as I couldn't make out what the blue floral clothing was exactly. I have no issue with gender changing, indeed, it would just further illustrate the limitless change that C25K can - and does - bring about.

As for sticking things down others' noses...now that's something else to ponder on this lazy Sunday afternoon.

I'm being silly too Bazza - thanks for sharing - you truly are an amazing chap and I love your posts.

I will take your word for your explanation of what is going on there. Thousands wouldn't.
