Subject: Breezy's golden girl From: George Papavgeris Date: 19 Mar 06 - 05:29 AM I just saw in the Commonwealth Games results that Michaela Breeze, daughter of the well known busker, performer and folk club organiser John, won gold for Wales in her wightlifting category (63kg) earlier today, breaking the games record in the process with a combined lift (snatch/clean & jerk) of 220 kg. I have met her and she is a lovely lass in every aspect, including her melodeon playing (which makes her a folkie, so this does not belong to the BS section). I've said it before, and will say it again - there's a woman that could sweep me off my feet! Her record record equals the weight of me AND my family with lots of spare to carry the shopping home... |
Subject: RE: Breezy's golden girl From: alanabit Date: 19 Mar 06 - 05:55 AM Bloody well done. There will be one proud Dad at St.Albans tomorrow. There was a time when folk music was associated with wimps by some. I guess those days have passed! |
Subject: RE: Breezy's golden girl From: My guru always said Date: 19 Mar 06 - 06:05 AM Oh, Fantastic!!! Well done the Breeze's! |
Subject: RE: Breezy's golden girl From: Sooz Date: 19 Mar 06 - 06:06 AM Congratulations! |
Subject: RE: Breezy's golden girl From: Leadfingers Date: 19 Mar 06 - 06:09 AM One up for Chateau Breeze !! |
Subject: RE: Breezy's golden girl From: Rasener Date: 19 Mar 06 - 06:11 AM Great stuff. Bring her along Breezy when you come up to Market Rasen Folk Club and we will roll the mat out for her. Shame it was for Wales and not for England :-) LOL |
Subject: RE: Breezy's golden girl From: John MacKenzie Date: 19 Mar 06 - 06:28 AM Well done, at least I can now say I know the Father of a Gold Medallist. Giok |
Subject: RE: Breezy's golden girl From: Keith A of Hertford Date: 19 Mar 06 - 06:40 AM Outstanding! Congratulations Breezy. Keith. |
Subject: RE: Breezy's golden girl From: Zany Mouse Date: 19 Mar 06 - 07:29 AM Congratulations Michaela. I bet there'll be some celebrating Chez Breeze today. Rhiannon |
Subject: RE: Breezy's golden girl From: George Papavgeris Date: 19 Mar 06 - 08:00 AM Of course, he'll be insufferable tonight. He'll "drag on", I bet! But I said I would be there, so I will not "welsh" on my promise. |
Subject: RE: Breezy's golden girl From: GMT Date: 19 Mar 06 - 08:00 AM Well done Michaela. I look forward to seeing her on Question of Sport, she has a great personality, and will be very good value. Congratulations. Gary (English but home nations supporter !!) |
Subject: RE: Breezy's golden girl From: nutty Date: 19 Mar 06 - 11:05 AM There's got to be a song in there somewhere, George. One about a Mudcatter's Daughter, perhaps?? |
Subject: RE: Breezy's golden girl From: Morticia Date: 19 Mar 06 - 11:07 AM Saw her performance this morning......bloody impressive. Well done to her. |
Subject: RE: Breezy's golden girl From: Herga Kitty Date: 19 Mar 06 - 11:19 AM Great achievement, Michaela - congratulations! Kitty |
Subject: RE: Breezy's golden girl From: The Unicorn Man Date: 19 Mar 06 - 11:49 AM Well done Dude very cool. |
Subject: RE: Breezy's golden girl From: r.padgett Date: 19 Mar 06 - 02:29 PM Yep brought a tear to my eye, well done the Breezers!! Now about the snatch! how many of you can squat down ~ feet flat on the floor and fix a broom/sweeping brush horizontally above your head, held in both hands? Now try it! If you can you just might have the physical attributes needed by olympic style weight lifters. Well done Michaela Ray |
Subject: RE: Breezy's golden girl From: Cats Date: 19 Mar 06 - 02:59 PM Congratulations to Michaela and to proud Dad too. It was seriously impressive. Jon and Kathy |
Subject: RE: Breezy's golden girl From: Keith A of Hertford Date: 19 Mar 06 - 03:04 PM Saw her on telly news. Excellent! |
Subject: RE: Breezy's golden girl From: John MacKenzie Date: 19 Mar 06 - 03:44 PM Just seen her lifts on TV , didn't she look like her Father on that last lift, when she screwed her face up? Giok ☺ Well done girl!!! |
Subject: RE: Breezy's golden girl From: billybob Date: 19 Mar 06 - 06:07 PM congratulations to the golden girl and to her dad Wendy and Bill |
Subject: RE: Breezy's golden girl From: Moses Date: 20 Mar 06 - 04:30 AM Didn't she do well! We had chocolate cake to celebrate at Snorbens last night. Breezy said he couldn't understand why she didn't give a plug to the Spotlight Windward Folk Club in her interview as he'd asked her to! :-) |
Subject: RE: Breezy's golden girl From: Singing Referee Date: 20 Mar 06 - 05:32 AM Bit late getting here, but I did text him straight after. What a lovely girl! Great credit to you Breezy mate. |
Subject: RE: Breezy's golden girl From: Lanfranc Date: 20 Mar 06 - 06:33 AM Well done Michaela!! Strong Breezes, as we sailors say! JB will be insufferable for a while, but why not? Do the Welsh authorities know that her Dad flies the black flag of Cornwall on the jackstaff of his guitar? Does Michaela only lift for Wales because Cornwall isn't separately represented? Working on a variant of "The Ratcatchers Beautiful Daughter" to commemorate the event. Alan |
Subject: RE: Breezy's golden girl From: breezy Date: 20 Mar 06 - 06:46 AM arent catters really very loving people. Just spoke to her, she only expects me to be at the airport at 5.30 in the bloody morning next Twosday to pick her up. On yer bike gel, I dont get out of bed before 9 unless I have to take the other little beggers to school. catch a bus I said, flash the medal and you'll be charged double fare, this is Ingerland where success is to be frowned upon, we dont do winning fings, unless everyone can win cos it makes the rest of us all look like losers. Seriously , thanks one and all for your warm words, and its so good to share it all with the mudcat community, bless you all John next Sunday at the Comfort Hotel st Albans, the ref and Moses close the season p S any one free next tuesday , 5.30 a.m., to pick up from Heathrow mutter, mutter, mutter |
Subject: RE: Breezy's golden girl From: Rasener Date: 20 Mar 06 - 07:26 AM But Breezy The Tv cameras are likely to be there, and just think, you could be on there as well as you busk away. What an opportunity to collect a lot of money for your charity cause and promote folk music as well. Go for it :-) |
Subject: RE: Breezy's golden girl From: breezy Date: 20 Mar 06 - 07:33 AM Les , behave, far too early and noisey. and no, i shant be coming to M R in a leotard and carrying barbels with a handle bar moustache when is it anyway? |
Subject: RE: Breezy's golden girl From: Rasener Date: 20 Mar 06 - 08:52 AM I had a better idea for when you come to MR Bring Michaela along and you could do your gig with her holding you above her head whilst you play and sing. That would be a good publicity stunt :-) It would also gauarantee everybody in the audience could see you. :-) Seriously I have told the border guards of lincolnshire to unlock the gates for you on Friday October the 6th. |
Subject: RE: Breezy's golden girl From: John MacKenzie Date: 20 Mar 06 - 09:23 AM Barbells with a handlebar moustache? G. ☻ |
Subject: RE: Breezy's golden girl From: sian, west wales Date: 20 Mar 06 - 09:48 AM Well I was as pleased as a pup with 2 tails when I saw the Welsh flag go up between 2 Canadian ones and I didn't think it could get any better than that ... but it just did. Well done, that woman! Now, if Breezy can just do some busking at Heathrow to welcome her home and get picked up for breaking the PEL rule we could have the high profile case we've been looking for! (Hey - it's a plan. Kinda.) siân |
Subject: RE: Breezy's golden girl From: Cats Date: 20 Mar 06 - 10:49 AM She made the front page of the Western Morning News today and was mentioned in the staff briefing at the school she used to go to. Do you want me to save the cutting for your scrapbook? I can post it to you if you want. |
Subject: RE: Breezy's golden girl From: The PA Date: 20 Mar 06 - 11:05 AM Breezy, could we please borrow Mikkie for haymaking, she'd probably make short work of shifting the bales. Its in the school holidays? |
Subject: RE: Breezy's golden girl From: breezy Date: 20 Mar 06 - 03:38 PM How much do you pay, I can drive the tractor and trailor and tie down bales, or is it sheeves then into the barn. Got 4 boys also available for work, even the wife maybe. I'll supervise, I'm good at that. Will there be cider? |
Subject: RE: Breezy's golden girl From: breezy Date: 20 Mar 06 - 04:39 PM Better still I'll come alone they're always mowning. Moan moan moan |
Subject: RE: Breezy's golden girl From: Crane Driver Date: 20 Mar 06 - 05:55 PM Congrats to Michaela, John - and best wishes to you all from the Swansea contingent. |
Subject: RE: Breezy's golden girl From: Barry Finn Date: 20 Mar 06 - 06:26 PM You go girl, congrats. "Breezy said he couldn't understand why she didn't give a plug to the Spotlight Windward Folk Club in her interview as he'd asked her to!" An intellegent folkie to boot. Barry |
Subject: RE: Breezy's golden girl From: GUEST,Eleanor Date: 21 Mar 06 - 10:59 AM Wow, I just spotted Breezy's news, Cheshunt congratulations. Next time my female art students whine about having to carry a 12.5 kilo bag of clay up to the studios I shall tell them all about Michaela's feat. |
Subject: RE: Breezy's golden girl From: breezy Date: 21 Mar 06 - 11:14 AM Size 6 and perfectly formed. Hello Eleanor, hows the modelling? |
Subject: RE: Breezy's golden girl From: The PA Date: 21 Mar 06 - 11:16 AM Breezy, no we don't pay,you know very well we're country dwellers therefore we're poor (Aahhhh), no you cant drive the tractor - I've experienced your driving and tractors are too expensive to repair, so are buildings, and small boys are kept for stuffing up chimneys. But we do have cider. Yes you can come alone, and entertain us. |
Subject: RE: Breezy's golden girl From: GUEST Date: 21 Mar 06 - 07:34 PM Hello Breezy the modelling's going well. Now I won't get out of bed for less than 60p a day. Oddly enough the next statue is going to a show in Melbourne very soon but I don't think they pay for me to go as well. |
Subject: RE: Breezy's golden girl From: sian, west wales Date: 22 Mar 06 - 03:58 AM So ... just out of curiosity, and NOT that I'm complaining but ... how did we get lucky in Wales and get her on our team? Are the English kicking themselves? siân |
Subject: RE: Breezy's golden girl From: breezy Date: 22 Mar 06 - 09:22 AM Me ,ma and da were Welsh, Cymraig, through and through. we were, up til me, all welsh speakers, dad taught it too. And she - their grand-daughter - opted to represent Wales. Apart from the fact Wales have helped her more than the inglish ever could have. She did her 4 years in Cardiff too but its taken an outstanding School in Devon to have the vision to promote sport in all ways that has enabled her to progress and she has already several British Chapions in her school. They qualify for England, at the moment One is in Austria competing this week, look out for Helen Jewell, she is 17. now in her 4th year of competition . Now if we can find a Welsh connection.... |
Subject: RE: Breezy's golden girl From: Rasener Date: 22 Mar 06 - 09:40 AM She knows your daughter - that makes her Welsh |
Subject: RE: Breezy's golden girl From: breezy Date: 22 Mar 06 - 10:18 AM and folk songs !! |

Subject: RE: Breezy's golden girl From: Rasener Date: 22 Mar 06 - 05:22 PM You don't have to come, I can always get somebody else. |
