Crowd raak groter vir karioke

Friday night started off slow with just a couple of us in the bar.  Lots of “groupie” conversations – Tallies & I had our own, discussing all the different “groupies”.

Dit was die tannies regs van ons – main topic was rook en pregnancy.  Links van ons die “Grondpad” gang & Nic oor voorplanting van twee-been spesies.  In die hoekie was dit die Groen paddatjie gang & Pa – seker weer oor die stand van die land se property markets.

Jagermeester het natuurlik koning gekraai so in die stilligheid – daar is oor en weer stadig maar seker vir almal gekoop – tot tannie Margi het twee weggeslaan!

Ek het die laaste rondte bestel 11:55 & teen 12:00 het ons almal die bar verlaat met die soet smaak van Jagermeister still lingering on our tongue’s.

Buurvrou - Tannie Andre.

So gaan die tyd.  As hulle jou eers begin Tannie noem dan weet jy waarheen die tyd vlieg. My storie begin eintlik in 1996 toe ons Buurvrou se oudste dogter hier aankom & werk soek.

So lank gelede, ek kan nie heelwat onthou nie, maar dit was die begin van ‘n stroom slimkop dogters.  Ja, Buurvrou was nogals besig op haar dae en julle moet darem onthou dit was nog voor televisie.

Tannie Andre, ons buurvrou en naamgenoot aan onse pa, is die oulike tannie wat ons die voorreg gegee het om 3 van haar 4 dogters naweke besig te hou.

Eerste was Jacomien aan die beurt.  Party sal haar nog onthou as Doesie, Kardoesie of Jakes.  Sy’s nou die enetjie wat die bal aan die rol gesit het en ons oorreed het dat ons naweke haar baie goed kan benut.  Nou ja, so het dit gekom ……

Hi to all Skippers,

If you are already legal – this is not for you.  If not please refer to Mandy’s letter to all members informing them of the issue with the Skippers rules & regulations:

Hi Guys,

As some of you have probably heard, or have been caught on the water without Skipper’s Licenses last week, the SAPS Diving Unit has just come around for a visit and has informed us that they will be doing “spot checks” on all water vessels at all recreational dams from now onwards.

You need to have all your things (Skippers, Survey, Safety Equipment, etc) in place from now onwards in order to launch your boat from our slip way. We will also request, for those that do not have their boats registered, that they need to give us a copy of their skippers and boat survey certificates before purchasing their annual licenses.

I think the best is to send me your copy of Skipper’s and boat surveys so that I can keep it here for you should you need it and might have forgotten it at home, if you have done so already, please confirm with me that I have received it.

Those that are not in possession of a Skipper’s License, please visit the below website for further details and to get the process going, it is now LAW to have a Skippers.

www.samsa.org.za

For Boat Surveys, you can contact any of the boat shops ie. Waterworld, Andy’s Boat Shop, etc.

Unfortunately, we will not be offering this service due to lack of interest, it is your responsibility to have Skippers, Survey and necessary requirements for your boat and kept on your boat at all times.

The SAPS Diving Unit does have the right to fine and/or remove you from the water should you not have the necessary documentation and requirements.

The two guys that were here now, are very serious, they don’t seem to take well to jokes, so please when they do approach you on the water be friendly and understanding.

And lastly, all of us at Club Elani wish you a very prosperous and Happy New Year.

Looking forward to hearing from you soon!

Kind regards,

Mandy

If you have not yet been to one of these – make a plan man – this is 100% super fun.  Mandy & Kobus has got it down to a fine art to cause havoc amongst the unsuspected competitors.

Kobus stole the Abbot teams meat right in the beginning – they never realized it was gone until they had to use it.  Then chaos broke loose and a hectic search all over but Kobus felt sorry for them eventually and they got their meat back after one of them had a shot of Mandy’s brew.

UIT DIE MOND VAN DIE SUIGELINGE…..

Aangesien Caren maande laas aan ‘n blog gedink het, het ek, Lize, en Ney besluit om die leisels oor te neem. So vir ou laas voor Ney ons vir altyd verlaat. :’(

Dié  Desember vakansie was beslis een om te onthou. Ons het die vakansie afgeskop met ‘n aand vol Rock’n Roll, te danke aan die alombekende band, Bad Apple. Oom Oros en sy manne het weer almal se voete laat juk en dit was nie lank nie, toe is die dansvloer tjok-en-blok vol.
