Yes, they've all got it in for me! Cars and combine harvesters. Cars I can cope with, combines not so much. The delightful combine driver gave me the internationally recognised sign I believe for " fat lady running, hilarious". Only polite to reply to this discourse so lobbed back with the internationally recognised sign for "you've got something stuck to your forehead' or similar. Silver lining was a pb split time due to the slight sprint as I tried to reach the field exit before him. Wk 4 run 3, very slow, but it was so hot I was just pleased to get round. So slow that sexyback was the perfect tempo track!

😂 Great post. Your knowledge and use of international sign language is impressive. Well done for the PB split time.

Thanks Razouski. Alas my pb is most definitely other peeps warm up walk speed. Harvesting is over soon so on the lookout for another speed motivator!

Sign language is so underused I find. Glad to see you are bringing it back to public attention. Any other gestures you think we should know. I am particularly interested in, " you nearly ran me over you ar.. wipe"

I'd be ever so grateful for the new handbook, if you have the link! Well done on the pb, sorry it came as a result of a contretemps with a combine🚜🚜🚜

Definitely underused and underated, imho, Jancanrun. The handbook may take some time, due to my propensity to use sign language at every available opportunity. I may have accidentally used the "ar###!pe" sign whilst performing skwaats during strength training earlier. Excellent use of the word contretemps btw, and loving the combine emoji!
