Here's a pic of your dad....
and....
Ha!Ha!Ha!Ha!Ha!Ha! Nice one Mike; Geez, can you get over how young he looks............I know it's hitting on 30 years but would you believe me if I said he hasn't changed a bit..........at least in my eyes he hasn't changed. Remember one new year in the wee hours we were stolen from our beds and transported to the swimming pool; I think my dad and yours climbed the wall; unlocked the door and let us kids in.............
That! , My dear friend, happened on many occasions
swim
Damn if I was as old as you I'd probably remember all the other occasions, but I do remember yours and my mom dressing up as blokes so they could get into a bar that only served fellas...............
I've got a photo of that..... that was actually a western turnaround dance held at the Gun Club... the photo is off your mom, my dad and your dad dressed up as saloon girls and a cowboy..... will post it later...
No Mike; The one I'm talking about my mom was dressed in a boys school uniform; shorts, cap and all and your mom was dressed in pale blue shorts with a matching short sleeve shirt/jacket; I think she had a cap on as well.....I'll try and get the pic for you.............
Come to think of it, I've seen other pictures of our folks in fancy dress; our dads in dresses and stuff.........Geez do you think they were cross dressers and we, being so young just thought they were going to partys???
Hahahha... no wonder we grew up all twisted.... I remember seeing what you're talking about...your mom in a school uniform...with the cap....
Here's yer dad showing off how he can braai with no shirt on sometime in the 70's
and
...with...
hahahaha, I love them, keep them coming, please.
Hey Mike is it any wonder we grew up half demented if that was the carry on of our folks, cause even though they are pics of my dad, you can be damn sure that your dad wasn't far behind him..............
That bike yer dad's riding, never did ride the same again!! :emot19:
hehehe just spotted myself at your birthday party...........geez what a state!
It would've been a bigger state if we had a whisky or two.... swink
All in good time my friend, all in good time..............I know you are a few years off but are we having a huge party for old times sake for your 40th........when is that 2010, if I'm not mistaken.....the same year Ireland win the world cup in South Africa.............certainly raise a glass or four then
Ireland win the world cup..... should'nt you post that statement in Kenny's Joke Board?
:emot19:
Okay, maybe wishfull thinking; but if they qualify, sure isn't that an excuse to head over wearing our leprechaun hats.............
here's more
Hey Mike; you need to get your glasses sorted man; the first picture is Gary and Grainne eating; and the last picture is of the three Mac babes; I'm the smallest on the left hand side, you can only see the back of my little blonde head and a little yellow sleeve...............I've noticed all the pics are in 1st ave; do you reckon I actually lived there as well and 7th was only a figment of my imagination? Is there even a 7th avenue in O'mund???
Ooops! My apologies.... I did'nt even see weeeeeee you in the pic.... I spend way too much time on PC screens these days, my eyesights gone for a ball of shit........ We spent just as much time at your house......
Little me hasn't grown too much taller, let me tell you!!! I remember you guys being at our house a lot, as mentioned previously, our whole lives were wrapped up with yours...........Geez, I couldn't even escape when I went to school as I went there with your brother.
extended family...Celts we were, with the Dubliners wailing away in the Background....
The Dubliners and always finished off with a blast of ''I take the high road and you take the low road, and I'll be in Scotland afore yoooooooooo, cause me and me troooooo love will never meet again on the bonny bonny banks of....................'' Take it away there Mike, I know you're singing along...............
..........Loch Lomond........ I feel like havin a wee 'dram the noo!
:emot19:
hahahaha.................thousands of km apart and still singing away..............what about a blast of 'Donald where's yer troooosers'?
We're at a trio then...
(Hey Mike. where's the singing smily)
''' let the wind blow high....let the wind blow low..... alalalalalalal..
@Jnr... all in good time my friend.... all in good time....
Hey Mike I was wondering when some-one else was going to join us in here. Welcome to the celtic sing-song............''I met my love, by the gas yard wall.... dreamed a dream by the old canal; I kissed my giiiiiirl by the factory wall; dirty ol' town, dirty ol' tooowwnn...........''
Your round Junior, mines a bud light......(better get two, as the bar looks crowded); Is two good for you, Mike? Hey Junior, do you need a hand with those?
I'm actually at home now.... just opened an Ice Cold Heineken, gonna light the braai ..... listening to Leanne Rimes.... can't fight the moonlight
i'll bring the :emot10: also pic up some BierSuip on the way....what time is kick off
you sh*t Mike; I'm at work...........slogging away for another weee while and then off to a party tonight..........although a braai could be good as well
Hey Gra, welcome to the sing-song..........
Hey Junior, a drink for the lady, while you're at the bar
Hey Grainne, welcome to the Celtic Bar...... My two Heineken's are finished... I'm moving onto the Whk Draught now..... The meats just been marinaded..... we are braaing lamb rib, Sirloin steak, Lamb chops, pork wors and a Pofadder....
then over the fence to Pauls to watch the rugger.... to be followed by a round or two at the bowls club tonite...see if I can work up Paula and Sheena....
giverose
Don't forget to put some chicken on the hot coals........you know the rules, man!!!
Aunty Rhona... I now swim 30 lengths a day in the town pool... next week will see me pushing 50 a day... this now entitles me to booze and eat at will...... I am redeemed!
3o lengths; hey that's good going Mike........Does the life gaurd still swim beside you or are you allowed go it alone? What is the goal?.........Everyone needs a target to aim for, a bit of an insentive..... so what do you say to 1000 lengths and you get sponsored so much per length for the charity of your choice..............be it the 'Gout Scmout' charity or 'Cancer Research' you name it.............and give the date that you'll complete the challenge...........I'll give you R1 per length.............Are you in?
A fool and her money are soon parted..... hehehehe! .... I'm nowhere near that yet....it will take at least 6 months to get into shape... and me being the lazy sod that I am...... Will not get past the 120 mark....
On a similar topic, there is a swim for life charity swim that is done in the School pool here sometime in the year, kids and adults all join in..... maybe I'll start there first.....
The coward I am..... Sigh!
Start with the charity swim - see it as a practice run............you know what, I'm a nice person..........you say it would take you at least 6months to reach the target.........let's say Boxing day, for you to do your 1000 lengths, if you do it I pay up and if you don't, well then either you pay the charity or I'll Kick your ass (the choice is mine)..........maybe to make this more interesting we should set up a seperate topic so more people can sponsor you............go on; you know you love the challenge...
1000 lengths would be a whole day event, when would I have time to have a beer or two, who will water the garden.... Ahem! ..... I'll think about it..... can I use armbands?
I got a plan> Mike you swim the lengths, Rhona can keep track and I will have the beers and water the garden for you. I might get tired just watching you swim, so that's why I opt for this solution to your problem.
I'm not keen on your plan, I think I'm being taken for a swim here... who's paying for these beers...?
Course you can use arm bands; and maybe the pole dancing girls could be your cheer-leaders and I tell you what; I'll even do the count for you...........if 1000 is unrealistic, WE can always drop the figure to 999........now do you see how nice I am? The beers will be on us as well as the braai...........we'll even cook the bloody thing for you; so all you have to do AFTER you've completed the swim is guzzle freebies.............and Dalene will water the garden. Hey Dalene, do you think it's a good idea?
Yep, Rhona, with this he cannot say no. Nice pal you are to him - hope he rewards you!
Does it not concern you two, that I am a walkng Heart attack in the making..... 1000 lengths, or 99 is liable to send me to my maker a tad before my time.... beerboep amd all....
the catch is Mike you have to train for the event..........okay! okay! I'll play nice.........500 lengths at R2 per length; and so you only have half the distance and I still pay out the same money to the 'Gout Schmout' foundation.............the beer and braai are still on me; I will also count your lengths and the girls are still game to cheer you on.............Boxing day Mike, that gives you 10months to train...........come on my friend; you know you want to........
Boxing Day??
The reunion would be just fine...
Very true Jnr; and so Mike how are you fixed for the reunion................or are you afraid the cheerleaders will put you off
I feel as if I've been pushed into a corner..... Cheerleaders and Poledancers!
.................And free beers and free braai............no pushing Mike the choice is yours; all you have to do is say the word......
carefull Mike....be carefull....
Now, if the sisters points out a warning, then something is up..... I cannot afford to have a heart attack on boxing day, as I need to water the grass on the 27th,.......
Very good excuse Michael. That's the attitude you need as a family man...
Any chicken icons I can stick in here..................I never thought I's see the day that you wouldn't rise to a challenge......tch! tch! tch!
@Jnr.... is'nt this your field? Is she trying to use reverse psycology on me?
Sorry Mike. Don't understand what Rhona is on about....
The way of saying things... !? %*#%$"
Good way not to answer a question Jnr, just say you don't understand..............nice, I like it......
so you just going to stick with the garden then Mike or ?????????
Sheesh!
Why do women always read between the lines?
Cause we're women Jnr and between the lines is always more interesting....
Hey Gra; you and I both know that Mike really wants to swim the lengths, all he is after is a bit of gentle persausion
I'm still thinking......
