Here in the South it’s foggy, damp and 7 degrees although feels considerably colder. Driecht in fact.

Can someone please explain why a (male) runner was only wearing shorts, socks and running shoes plus the inevitable mp3 player. Why would anyone run without a top in December?

Disgusted of Hampshire.

Probably just a northerner.

its actually quite warm outside 🙂 .. shame dont get many topless runners round here

He’s from the North East 7c is tropical.

7 degrees?

Taps aff!

Brexit, innit.

Really isn’t warm down here, frozen nips doesn’t sound fun.

Was it a Northern student?

Exactly, not even 2 tshirt weather

Lolz @ Flash 😆

I don’t know fighter pilot’s thumbs can be enjoyable.

It distracts from the frost bite on the end though, a wet t-shirt probably does more damage though

Avoiding joggers nipple?

saw an older chap out on his bike the other Sunday running shorts pair of pumps and a stripey jumper, the car said it was 0c out side and he doing a fair ol’ speed 🙂 they were the whitest knees i’ve seen in a long time !

You lot, what are you like. 😆

He’ll probably have a classic narcissistic personality type, with a strong leaning towards the exhibitionist tendencies inherent within this personality strata.

He’ll have very much enjoyed you looking at him, I’m afraid.

Just come back from a surf session, 12C with water temp at 12C too.. sun came out for a while as well.

Waves were pants mind.

South coast here, very moist but warm, it’s t shirt weather if you’re exercising. I’d suggest he was avoiding nippular chafing or he’s proud of his new spray tan.

Saw similar in central Manchester a few nights ago. About zero degrees and fella running in shorts, ipod and no shirt…

We had a fire alarm go off at work yesterday.

Well below freezing with ice everywhere and damp freezing mist hanging over the car park.

Was quite amusing to watch a hundred odd Geordies wearing thin office shirts or blouses trying to pretend that they weren’t cold. 😆

Sounds like he’s made it down South OK.

Perhaps he felt he was suitably dressed for what he wanted to do.

I’ll be walking home from the office at 17.00. Please tell me what to wear.

How about a smug smile,with just a hint of condescending glare

I think the real question is – who’s husband was he running away from?

…..and why was c_g chasing him?

Plenty of runners here in the North East with some wearing shorts while others wearing something more just to run but only some with those reflective tights etc … 😆

Are they trying to reduce their body fat by running (burning) it off? 😯

Me colleague thinks they have done no benefit to themselves (can’t see them running in the dark) or their bodies … 😛

I always assumed this was a British thing (you can always tell the Brits in winter in Prague for example)but yesterday here in Germany in temperatures hovering around -4 degs I saw a hippy walking down the road in a T-shirt, flimsy shorts and sandles without socks and a rucksack on his back. I thought there must have been eddies in the space-time continuum and he had been transported from a beach in Thailand. 😯

Sounds like a bloke who runs past us in best and shirts whatever the weather.

Conversely, I don’t understand the ladies who run in so many layers – do they not sweat perspire?

I’d never go topless, but if running or cycling it’s shorts and T-shirt all year or maybe a long sleeved base layer and hat (bald) if it gets really cold. I just get way too warm wearing more when exercising. Once wore long pants for a run and it felt like my legs were going to melt.

I saw similar a few weeks ago at 06:30 at the end of my rd: t-shirt at -1 degrees.

After speaking to him I called the plod as he was a bit off his head. Turns out he was a burglar and has just got 11 months!

Steady on CG you’ll have a stroke, or weren’t you close enough? IGMC

I’m off for a jog.

I’m off for a jig

I’m off to the Jag

eddies in the space-time continuum

Is he?

Looks like some kind of time-loop to me.

why was c_g chasing him?

Other way round. CG’s dairy based beverage attracts the totality of the male population to the outside space.

Was he not just chasing a Staffy?

Yeah. Not been in since October. 🙁
