Breaking News:-

In the early hours of this morning (well 7:30 Actually) a man in his mid sixties and believed to be a regular contributor to an Over 50's Forum was seen running along country roads under a cloudless sky dressed in just Shorts and Hoodie top. It is believed he completed the eight mile course in under 90 minutes before he arrived home and then ran amok with a loaded paintbrush splattering the hall walls with white paint. Paramedics attended the scene and revived his wife after she passed out; in a statement she said "I've been trying to get him to decorate the hall for five years, it was such a shock seeing him like this".
The man later gave a statement to the police saying, "I was only supposed to run six miles this morning, but after setting off at a slow pace and enjoying the sunshine I couldn't resist sticking on an extra two miles, which meant I arrived home in good shape, I don't know what came over me, I saw the loaded brush on the garage bench and just saw red....Er I mean white and the rest is just a blur"
After a caution, he was released without charge........

Off to clean me brush now.......

Re: Breaking News:-

I don't know how you had the energy to paint your hall after running all that way, but good on you.
The police should have refered you to a shrink, head doctor.

Running.....only to evade capture(police) or to get last orders

Re: Breaking News:-

I've got an even better run.........ferry from England, so you can have a rest, then run through France to Spain, there's a whole house and walls in need of painting outside. You could get a good sun tan at the same time.

We're not cheap but we are cheerful.....may even be tempted to travel(by van, no running)
