Life as a RUNaway: Day Three

So I got caught again today. How awful.
Sorry there wasn't a bounty period this morning people, but the runaway was tired from all the running and needed a lie in and a soak in the bath this morning.
The rest of the day was spent having fun.
Despite no bounty period, I still decided to have a bit of fun in Summertown this lunchtime...Did you see someone walking along with an orange pumpkin bucket saying trick or treat and thought they were a bit weird - not to mention a couple of weeks late??!!
Ahh... well that was me.
And were you in Oddbins when I went in and spoke to Madeline when I was asking her about the most amazing wine I've ever tasted called Moon Juice - its Water from the Moon I'll have you know... and is divine. Indeed.
Next stop was a bit of a prank at my new found friend's at the car dealership Humphries in Rose Hill...Lovely Shane was fun to talk to, but didn't really understand what was going on when I began saying I had £10,000 to spend on a car, that had to be black, small, sporty and funky, yet still be useful for my friend's new business - he's starting a funeral directors, so the car must be able, one way or another to fit coffins in... I asked him to put the seats down and lay inside for me... but he was in hysterics... and convinced one of his best mates was winding him up... in fact it was the friends at his local radio station who he knows pretty well... us devils at FM 107.9. Gutted. I could have given you £500!!!
Then I popped into the co-op for a bit and said hello like I knew the bloke behind the counter, he again, like everyone else, thought I was a weirdo.
Wandered up the road a bit, past the pizza place, saw the ladies as they were shutting up the hairdressers and smiled, and looked in the window of the funeral directors and thought how wrong my last prank could have been in the minds of some people. My apologies if it offended you.
Walked to get chips and thought how it wouldnt help if I needed to go for a run, and then began noticing the people showing, so I did just that. Went for a bit of a run... bounty period was almost up and people were asking left right and centre, and I only just made it away.
One thing I must say is, I did witness a few people chasing each other in cars and nearly causing accidents so everyone, please be careful!!
Next bounty period started at 8pm and I was in The Bullingdon, in Cowley Road... and as Brucey (Sophie) described - yes I was sat with my feet up with a bottle of WKD... what else would I be drinking!? Lots of people missed catching me by seconds, as the first girl to ask me, of course won. So well done.
Bounty Hunters, I will indeed be back out on the run tomorrow at some point... whether I have a lie in or not, I'll decide in the morning.
We'll have to see how my legs are feeling. But after not running too much at the end of tonight, I think tomorrow, I'll be fine...
Catch me if you can!

Day 2 Clue 3

Singing from the roof tops

The FM107.9 WKD RUNaway is on facebook...

Add 'Runa Way' as a friend, geddit...

You can find me on the Oxford FM107.9 Group, and a lot of Oxford Groups!

I got away at lunch time...

My talents of playing the game of Hide & Seek in Oxford are getting better it seems!

This lunchtime, I was in Cornmarket Street in the City Centre... from 12pm to 1.30pm.

This is how I spent my time:
*On arrival got approached by two guys who work for Phones 4U asking me if I needed a new one, to which I happily responded, I've gotta run...
*Went into HMV, wandered around the music section, humming runaway by the Corrs... went upstairs to the DVDs and decided I could play a fun little prank, on the girl behind the till, Faye. So... wandered around, picked up the following:
Catch me if you can
Runaway Bride
Runaway Vacation
The Running Man...
And went up to unsuspecting Faye, placed them down and said to complete my collection I'm looking for the Bounty Hunter, its urgent I find the bounty hunter... can you point me in the right direction? She said I'll have to take a look and see if we have it... and they didn't... so I left the dvds with her saying, I can't take these then... and ran off down the stairs leaving behind some calling cards (those things that say the FM 107.9 WKD RUNaway was here)!

*Next, I decided to do the same kind of thing in Zavvi.co.uk (formerly Virgin)... so wandered around and picked up a few more apt titles: Prison Break, Running Scared, Runaway Jury, Catch me if you can & Runaway Vaction...
So headed downstairs and spoke to a lovely girl called Alice about the Bounty Hunter... she was saying if I needed it so desperately, as its now been discontinued my best bet is the internet. Awwh... poor Alice...

So thats 4 people so far I've given massive hints to.

*Next stop, Boots. Decide to go in and have a look at everything, take my time, smile at all the staff and think about who's best to approach. Something a RUNaway needs is things to disguise themself, so... what can a RUNaway find in boots which fits the bill - hair dye and face masks... oh and lots of make-up but I could have been there forever considering that! Have a chat to Micah (haircare asst) and Katie (skincare consultant) about face masks, leaving them on for a long period of time and would there be any lasting damage. They notice the many boxes of hair dye and the multi-coloured crazy coloured sprays I have in my basket and think they make a concious effort not to laugh! Thanks girls. Leave the basket by Katies stand, and sprinkle some calling cards in there, and run out the shop... I sware I'm surprised I didn't have security after me, I do look a bit shifty in those scenarios.

*Decide to have a bit of a wander up and down ... so do some walking, talking to random people, the red cross guys and girls telling them how generous I am with my money and how I randomly gave £500 yesterday and this morning, and they didn't cotton on. Silly.

*Then head to Nokia, and ask the manager Angela if they sell Voice Distorters as I need to disguise my voice when talking to people on the phone. She told me to go to a toy shop... hmm. So left a calling card under the Nokia N95 8Gb Black Demo phone they had on the stand.

*Still unhappy that no one has picked up on who I am, I decide to run up and down Cornmarket a couple of times, mainly to keep myself warm! (oh, and because I am the RUNaway afterall!!).

*Then I engage in further conversation with the Phones 4U boys, and poor Ben doesn't pick up on it when I say I'm in Oxford, I'm on the run and playing a game of Hide & Seek, and I reward people when they find me. I think he thought I was a very odd person and it was some kind of weird dodgy line. Interesting.

*Oh, and I sat on the bench outside next and waved at people as they walked past. Talk about being obvious.

Next time, maybe one of you will ask the right person that key thing...Are you the FM107.9 WKD RUNaway?!

Its the one thing that holds the key to you winning lotsa money!!

Good Luck Bounty Hunters!!

The clue's explained!

Well you didn't catch the FM107.9 WKD RUNaway this time :-)

The RUNaway was in cornmarket street the whole time and escaped with £250...come on you can do better than that!
Here are the clues explained:

1. In the presence of width and royalty
Broad street and Queen street are nearby

2. Near the ‘now golden’ coaching inn
The Golden cross shopping arcade is off cornmarket and it used to be an old coaching inn

3. Once voted the 2nd worst in Britain!
It was once voted the 2nd worst shopping street in Britain!

See they aren't that hard - just think a bit harder...ha ha ha!

Remember, If You Don't Ask You Can't Win!
