ATT: Rhona!

[Grainne]

 i'll bring the :emot10: also pic up some  on the way....what time is kick off

[Rhona]

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

[Michael Alexander]

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....

[Rhona]

Don't forget to put some chicken on the hot coals........you know the rules, man!!!

[Michael Alexander]

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!

[Rhona]

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?

[Michael Alexander]

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!

[Rhona]

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...

[Michael Alexander]

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?

[Dalene Steenkamp (Coetzee)]

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.

[Michael Alexander]

I'm not keen on your plan, I think I'm being taken for a swim here... who's paying for these beers...?

[Rhona]

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?

[Dalene Steenkamp (Coetzee)]

Yep, Rhona, with this he cannot say no.  Nice pal you are to him  -  hope he rewards you!

[Michael Alexander]

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....

[Rhona]

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........
