These skinny legs...

[Teresa1632]

On my run today, I remembered my dad once remarked that he had seen more shapely legs hanging out of a crows nest 🤣

I’m the eldest of eight, and we all have long skinny legs. It helped us run faster to the table at dinner time. Survival and food took priority over everything.

I was reminded of that today as a flock of hens and geese came out to the road during my run and I was diving left and right. As children walking home from school, we used to be chased down the road by geese. We would try and get a head start by running and speeding up as we got to ‘their’ house.

So I’m the middle of my run today, I ran a 400 metre PB. My skinny legs out ran the geese (just)!

Should I bring some to the next Park Run? 😂

“Release the geese” could be a new call from the run director... you’d best have a chat with them 😂

Good run.

A few years ago I got a new cell phone.

To test it's texting I sent a test text to an old pal.

Our version of "(Cry havoc and) Release the Dogs of War" - which is Biblical (some tough nuts in that book 🤔) was from the Non- Biblical "Pulp Fiction" so I texted

"Release The Gimp!"

Kevie never got the text...

The phone was fine - I'd apparently sent it to a wrong number....

So, to this day somewhere in the good 'ol USA there is probably someone who still jumps when a knock comes to their door 😵😬😂

"Release The Geese!" 😂😂😂😂

Can you imagine getting that text 😂

[Irish-John Graduate in reply to UnfitNoMore]

I know 😬 I feel kinda bad about it really. I hope it was not to some frail old person or something but whoever it was will spend the rest of their life wondering what the hell it was about - and will think of it every single time they get a new text...😓

Reminds me of the time my friend sent a loving text message to his new girlfriend. Except it went to the office secretary. Red faces all round 🤣

Someone I know emailed a job application to his current boss by mistake. Ended up with a five grand pay rise to stay put, which is not what would have happened to me had I done it!

If you haven't had a visit from Special Branch, Wrong Number Person can't have been all that worried

[Irish-John Graduate in reply to ArthurJG]

Too true! Lol

[Teresa1632 Graduate in reply to UnfitNoMore]

Everybody would be off to the kind of sprint that Usian Bolt could only dream of 🤣🤣

[ArthurJG Graduate]

Bring what to parkrun? If you mean your legs then yes definitely but not so sure about the geese.

[Teresa1632 Graduate in reply to ArthurJG]
