flibbertygibbet
From urban dictionary:

1) A capricious and unreliable person.

2) a flighty or whimsical person, usually a young female.

3) Historically: a name for a fiend, devil, puck or sprite.

4) Mythology: The name of a particularly obnoxious

apprentice to the Wayland (Weland) smith who was

so irritated by his apprentice threw him down a hill where he was changed into a stone.
In "The sound of Music" Maria is called a flibbertygibbet by the Mother Superior because Maria is out roaming around the hills rather than staying in the convent and behaving as a novice should.

Dear Flibbertygibbet, whatever you do, don't go and run the Ridgeway Ultra. It goes past Wayland's Smithy in the middle of the nigfht.

About This Thread

Maintained by fetcheveryone
Let's see if this works. There are two groups - the Pesterers and the Lazybones. If you need a bit of encouragement to get out for your run each day, join the Lazybones group. If you think you can shake the apathy out of someone, join the Pesterers group. Every day, each Lazybones will be assigned one or more Pesterers (depending on how the numbers work out) at random, and the rest is up to you.

As a Pesterer, you'll get an fmail each day telling you who to pester / encourage / help. Do your research on their user profile to see the sort of running they're doing. Fmail your Lazybones, or follow them round the website - keep at them, until they've either got their run done, or given you a good reason why not. Be nice though, it's not a license to act like a total git, and you might find that you can really help someone improve their running.

As a Lazybones, you accept that you are likely to be pestered. But you might also find help and support from a fellow runner. You accept that the advice you receive is personal opinion, and agree not to sue anybody if you knacker yourself. If you don't like being pestered, leave the group. Oh, and go for a run, lazy bones."
