Aire Waves
Leeds Canoe Club Blog. We paddle... lots!
Airewaves used to be Leeds Canoe Club's magazine letting people know what the club was upto. Its quite hard work pulling together a publication letting people know what the club is doing and publishing dates in advance is always hard as things tend to change. Step forth the blog.. Push button publishing for the masses. So here is the idea a few people in the club take it in turns to write up trips and talk about things in the club.
Tuesday, October 18, 2005It must be great to have such good mates......
Due to problems incurred whilst away this weekend I feel the need to insist that all future participants on overnight trips must achieve a minimum standard of matiness I propose the following as a minimum standard.
3 star mates test
After a trip to the pub, If you should notice that one of your companions is missing, do you?
a) Roll over and go back to sleep.
b) Assume that the landlady has got him and thank your lucky stars that its not you.
c) From this point on don't answer the phone again, infact start cursing every ones phones for being too popular tonight and you wish someone would answer them or you may have to throw them all out of the window.
d) Pass out
e) All of the above
f) None of the above, Infact wake every one up and start a search party, don't worry you might not have to go too far.
Correct answer would have been f).
3 star stranded without mates test
If you should find yourself stranded on the wrong side of a Fort Knox stile door with you bed on the other side. Do you?
a) Ring round your friends to get one of them to come down and let you in. Even though to do this involves running to the car park to get a signal, ringing every one, then running back to see if anyone got the call or the texts. Then repeat until 3am
b) Thank your lucky stars your not trapped on the other side of the door with the Landlady.
c) Due to landlady restrictions and the possibility of losing the deposit, whisper a selection of the following.
1) paddler in distress
2) You B****rds
3) Help
4) Name everyone, except Paul Crouch who could have possible rescued me with the aid of his throw line. He rescued everyone else this weekend (oh and me) (Thanks Paul)
d) Run to car park and return with kayak, sit in boat , capsize, bang on bottom of boat three times.
Correct answer seems to have been d) as I tried all the others and none of them worked.
3 star mate test part 2
Upon the return of stranded mate, how should you console tired mate.
a) Ooh your up early
b) You'll be glad you weren't here the phones never stopped ringing it was driving me mad.
c) Sorry i didn't hear you I was a sleep, these beds are great
d) Come on, time to get up, you don't want to be late for breakfast.
e) We thought the landlady had got you, and thought we were best not getting involved
f) Inform everyone you meet, what a prat he's made of himself, since our return this is now happening by email.
g) Pretend this didn't happen
Correct answer should have been g) So you've all failed
Signed
Billy No Mates
Comments:Allthough all the wrong answers were made to 'billy' he forgot to mention a few facts.....
1 the landlady did insist we were all in for midnight but saying that didn't give reason why....
2 we were all account for when we returned from the pub...but somebody wanted to phone er indoors after we all went to bed...
so as for mates test part two he was a prat and all needed to be told.....

So perhaps further information may be required, to explain what may have started the event in the first placePost a Comment
Having returned from the pub, several pints the worse for wear. We sat, we drank some more. People started to wander off to bed. A voice similar to Obi Wan Kenobi's spoke to me, but in stead of use the force Luke, I got use the phone, Luke. A second message came from my memory, a reminder of conversations gone by, "You never ring me"
These three factors (beer being the third) forced me into a 1am call home to explain to my wife, how much I loved her. Possibley in song, definatly in an attempted welsh accent.
