I am so tired from the swim, but it was totally worth it! :-)

Peeps, may I introduce Foggygoggles, a friendly and welcoming RW Forumer from across the pond!

Foggygoggles, may I introduce the wrinkly and/or lunatic fringe of the UK RW Forums?

Welcome foggy,or should that be howdy? You've arrived just in time for snow. Tell me, do Americans have a "Sense of Humour"?

Hello, wrinkly/lunatic fringe!

Great, just had a message to say we're gridlocked in due to the snow... will just have to stay here for another 15 minutes

Too true, sadly, why don't you have pics? Is it because you are all super-bods?

Lovely - fetch the beer out the cupboard HW and lets welcome the newboy!

Howdy, hiya, whazzup are all accepted greetings and salutations from our ahem fair country

Compo, no, I've not had the pleasure.

Many of us are humour-impaired...

Super-bods? I wish! I think we are afraid that we will be stalked by a psychopath or something. We sometimes take personal security to an extreme...but sadly it is probably warranted.

What is a "mature" runner? We call them "masters" over here, I think. It is supposed to connote experience and wisdom, though, not age- although it typically means over 30.

Three in a row :-) Talk to the man someone, stop sucking up to Billow and welcome our visitor properly.

Wise, grown-up, responsible, you know all the usual things!

Who's got the bottle opener?

I'm trying but my fingers are cold....

Mature - as in cheese, a bit ripe, gets smellier as it ages, kinda grows on you, rather like mould. An acquired taste?

JJ may be able to provide a better explanation, but he wears CK underpants so I wouldn't trust everything he says :-)

Well, there isn't a precise definition of "mature" runner, but JJ (who started the thread) was referring to age.

30!!! <piglet coughs and falls to the ground in alarm!!!> I thought it was older than that!

Here's the context in which the mature runners thread began. You'll see it's a bit of a giggle :-)

Sorry to be a party pooper, but the cars ouside are finally moving, so I'm going to make a dsah for home before the invetable accidents close everything down. If I get back safely I'll log in tonight to see "what's occuring".

Nice to see you Foggy, do give our best wishes to your chums in Baltimore. :-)
