24/03/201414

Special Announcement:

HELP NEEDED:
 
In order to make sure Bold and Beautiful remains the FREE, wonderful, inclusive activity that it currently is for everyone, everyday, we need to have one or two fundraising events each year. 
 
On Tuesday 6th May we will be having our main fundraising event for this year, which will be a Trivia Night at the Steyne Hotel, with our very own quizmaster, John Kelly. 
 
To make this event a huge success, we need donations of items that we can use as team prizes, auction items or raffle prizes. Any goods or services will be most gratefully received, and the funds raised will go towards the running costs for ourgreat swim squad. This year we will be joined by the Royal Far West who will be assisting in fundraising for the event, and will receive part of the funds raised on the night. Please contact Ian (0142 331530 or ugoboyo@gmail.com ) if you are able to donate something of value.

Inside the Tardis IV

 

The Doctor (Shane) : “You call that flying the TARDIS?  Jack (my puppy) could have done better [scoffs] Ha!”

 

The Doctor Shane (47 yrs old): “Welcome aboard the Tardis IV”

 

Simon: “Okay, I’ve mapped the probability vectors, done a foldback on the temporal isometry, charted the ship to its destination……”

 

 

 

The Doctor Shane: “You parked us in the middle of Cabbage Tree Bay?!!##** But at least MSB approve of the Tardis IV being moored here.

 

 

 

Simon: “Doctor Shane, what of your time travels”

 

The Doctor Shane: “The Tardis (steel hull) was built in Sydney in the 1970s. I bought her on the Whitsundays about 5 years ago.I’m back in Sydney to take my 8 yr old daughter to the Zoo. I was able to use my dingy to help MBS remove the seal carcass before your swim a few days ago”. “I plan to head north as soon as the nor’ easter arrives”.

 

The Doctor: “The Tardis, when working properly, is capable of many amazing things, not unlike myself. One of it’s functions is that it can change shape to blend in perfectly into it’s surrounding environment”.

 

 

The Doctor Shane: “I hear the Pink capped hoards echoing through the hull as soon as they come around the point, quite a racket. They even swim in the DARK”.

Fifi, Sabine

The Drink Express

 

The Doctor: “More to the point, what are you young people doing inside my Tardis ?”.

Rob is getting ready to fly

 

The Doctor: “..the controls of the Tardis are isomorphic… they found Mary’s lost swimming bag..”.

 

The Doctor: “You see Huw, the Tardis, is dimensionally transcendental”.

 

The Doctor John:  “I’ll kiss it better Sarah”

 

Andrew: “It’s not just any old power source, it’s the Tardis, MY Tardis, the best ship in the universe, this ships alive, you’ve opened it’s soul to me Dillon”.

 

The Doctor: “Low tech ? . . . . Matthew & Cathy, Cathy & Patrick, Julia,  Annie & Diana, Allan Sarah (+baby) & Kathy, this is a type 40 Tardis, capable of taking you to any planet in the universe and to any date in that planets existence . . . . temporal physics”.

 

 

 

 

 

The Doctor : “Well I made up the name Tardis from the initials, Time And Relative Dimensions In Space . . . . Nick I thought you understand the dimensions inside from outside”.

 

The Doctor: “Sarah it’s obvious that the Tardis helped you win GOLD this morning”.

 

The Tardis: “VROOP, VROOP, VROOPPPPPPPPP VROOPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP . . . .

    Fantastic! What a great sport Dr Shane and pup Jack are too:-) I love having the Tardis in our midst – did you persuade the Dr to put on a pink cap?
    And I had a quick recovery from coralitis (aka halfwayitis) after that kiss of life 🙂
    ? with Lee on a dark swim is Sylvia who celebrated her 40th anniversary with Reg the other day.
    Talking of Syliva, she found a plastic container full of lotions and medications in the ladies’ public changing room after the 6.30 swim. We’ve given it to Ian, so check with him if it’s yours.

    Interesting and unique blog Simon and our swimmers look brilliant first thing in the morning! (Lesbubbs looks particularly gorg). I still don’t understand how the Tardis is allowed to moor in CTB though?? I’ll donate a night at Whale Beach B&B!

    Marvellous and witty Blog Simon.
    Talking of lost property, I left a small white towel with pink roses round the edge on the table on Sat. Any finders?

    The only pics of Lesbubbles I can see, her head is wrapped in hair or towelling. She looks much more gorgeous without either!
