19 Mar 06 - 05:29 AM (#1697531) Subject: Breezy's golden girl From: George Papavgeris 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... |

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 |

20 Mar 06 - 06:33 AM (#1698452) Subject: RE: Breezy's golden girl From: Lanfranc 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 |

20 Mar 06 - 06:46 AM (#1698457) Subject: RE: Breezy's golden girl From: breezy 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 |

What an opportunity to collect a lot of money for your charity cause and promote folk music as well. Go for it :-) |

20 Mar 06 - 08:52 AM (#1698557) Subject: RE: Breezy's golden girl From: Rasener 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. |

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 |

20 Mar 06 - 10:49 AM (#1698629) Subject: RE: Breezy's golden girl From: Cats 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. |

21 Mar 06 - 11:16 AM (#1699300) Subject: RE: Breezy's golden girl From: The PA 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. |

22 Mar 06 - 09:22 AM (#1700146) Subject: RE: Breezy's golden girl From: breezy 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.... |
