Morning all.

Did you not hear me screaming you on in the Swimming.

I am nearly hoarse now.

I think it is the skipping later on, just limbering up.

Cut down a piece of rope from one of the flag-poles, hope it isnt important. It was to the right of centre, so presumably that is the Bronze flag-pole.

We only go for GOLD so it wont affect us.

'tiptoes away with rope, and starts skipping'

Good morning Team GR

Early morning Swimming Race for the relay team.

Shelly, Bobby, Yvonne and Stephen

Shelly takes the block....
.'Take your marks'
Shelly shakes her limbs, bends from the waist, looks down the pool to where Bobby waits for the change over.

'Bang' the starters pistol goes.

Shelly launches herself off......my god....she covers about 10 metres before she hits the water. Her legs pound the water like turbines and her arms pull her like some invisible
force is behind them.

She's ahead of the pack by at least 5 metres when she touches the wall.

Bobby leaps like a Tiger, flying through the air, long and lean, this powerful swimmer hits the water and is in full throttle after only four strokes. What a marvel to see.
He inreases Team GRs lead to 10 metres as he hits the wall. No wonder he was the Worlds fastest at one time.

Yvonne goes for it. Effortless ease pulls her down the pool.
Who would ever think that this lass could cut the water with hardly a ripple. Legs and arms in perfect harmony she leads the opposition by 15 metres as she touches base.

Stephen,.....my god....he falls from the starting block... hits the water with a mighty splash......surfaces coughing and spluttering....looks distressed that he has mucked things up.

He draws a deep breath.....breaks WIND....and accelerates like a rocket down the pool....overtaking his opponents in no time at all.

A constant stream of hot air follows him down the length of the pool.

Spectators are on their feet cheering like mad...just before they keel over as some invisible gas hits them.

He hits the wall....hard...he has beaten them all by 5 metres...what a spectacular come back.

Strange no one is running over to hug and congratulate him.

A 10 metre exculsion zone has been quickly set up around the pool until they investigate the cause of the Gas.

TEAM GR TAKE>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>GOLD

Shelly just been on your Graves thread.

Good on you girl, it looks very interesting. I will need a few hours to go through the pages. MOST of my family are buried at the St Pancras and Islington Cemetery in Finchley. So will have a shufty on those posts when I have a bit more time to look at them properly.

I tend to go a bit boss-eyed this time of night.
lol

Sometimes after doing deep dives I would finish up with 'bite' marks all over my body where my suit had nipped me.

My wife knew what they were but I didn't half get weird looks if I went swimming.

Shelley

Read one of your postings, you said you had a thread about Graves and Gravestones. Can you tell me the title of it, so I can see for myself, please.

Coooooooeeeeeeee.

I've been standing upside down against the wall for the last few hours.

I outlasted them all.

The Canadian, Australians, NZ's all came close. But I WON.

Put a gold next to my name.

Got a bit of a headache now, all the blood rushing to my head.
