Tucks Tails October
Have the garrick’s got a new stroke? Or just a graduate of the Sally Robbins School of Rowing?I did not realise we had so many passionate Queenslanders amongst us. Sorry guys but in NSW we believe in daylight savings. FINES!!!!!
Shaun’s boys showed extreme patience waiting for their last crew member the other day. But passing time downing Meat Pies and chocolate milk ? Boys will be Boys!
Latest tally for the season…….
Boothie was in the changing room of the golf club. When the mobile phone rings he engages the hands free speaker-function and began to talk. Everyone else in the room stops to listen.
BOOTHIE: "Hello"
WOMAN: "Darling, it's me. Are you at the club?"
BOOTHIE: "Yes"
WOMAN: "I am at the shopping centre and found this beautiful leather coat.
It's only $1,000. Is it OK if I buy it?"
BOOTHIE: "Sure,..go ahead if you like it that much."
WOMAN: "I also stopped by the Mercedes dealership and saw the new 2005 models. I saw one I really liked."
BOOTHIE: "How much?"
WOMAN: "$70,000"
BOOTHIE: "OK, but for that price I want it with all the options."
WOMAN: "Great! Oh, and one more thing ... The house I wanted last year is back on the market. They're asking $950,000"
BOOTHIE: "Well, then go ahead and give them an offer of 900,000. They will probably take it. If not, we can go the extra 50 thousand. It really is a pretty good price."
WOMAN: "OK. I'll see you later! I love you so much!!"
BOOTHIE: "Bye! I love you, too."
BOOTHIE: "Hello"

BOOTHIE: Then bloke hung up. The other blokes in the changing room are staring at him in astonishment, mouths agape.....
He smiles and asks: "Anyone know who this phone belongs to?"
Sunday morning a glorious day on the lake three boats and plenty of new rowers. Early indications are for a big rebuilding year for the Roy then an all out attack on all divisions next year.
Welcome to all those new rowers who have popped out of the wood work this year hope you enjoy the ride…..
Missing in action – the Garrick’s last seen doing sprints around central station with not much clothing on…….
Who’s the new car detailer making a tidy profit from the giggles handy work???
Has willow recovered from the international wine tasting tour,
If any body does know the person turning a profit from the Giggles handy works please give them Ando’s number so he can get the carrot and corn off the side of his car…..
It’s great to see some things never change in boats, one of the girls stated as she look down and noticed a mini version of the Daintree Forest on the front of her seat..
Which Garrick is so keen to get his bronze he was spotted doing extra swimming training during the week (with his oar in hand)

The Krakaz were arrested in a small Arabian state when they were caught relieving themselves on a religious building after a night-long training at the local bar.
So, the trio have to face up to the local Sultan and are dished out the typical punishment for religious desecration - 20 lashes of the whip to the back. Luckily the Sultan was a big lifesaving fan so he kindly granted them 2 wishes each – but, they were not allowed to change the number of lashes or the type of punishment.
Kinga says "Well I'm not one for waiting around, I'll take the first hit-up. My wishes are that I want the pleasure of a beer and a pillow." The Sultan thinks, then nods his head, granting Kinga his wishes.
With a wide grin Kinga sculls his beer and binds the pillow to his naked back. But, after 10 lashes the pillow falls apart and he has to painfully endure the remaining 10 lashes, leaving deep welt marks on his back.
Riddett saw all this and spends a few minutes thinking before smiling and saying "Ah Sultan, I would like to have 2 pillows for my back". The Sultan sat back in his throne and thought deeply about the wishes given Riddett had used up both in one go. However the Sultan's 30 wives (who received their make-up from the giggles) urged him to take pity on young Riddett, and so he granted the wish. The 2 pillows were tied down but after 15 lashes of the whip both pillows had fallen apart and Riddett painfully endured the remaining 5 lashes.
Now Will, calm and reserved as always stepped up to the Sultan and said "My first wish is to double the number of lashes to 40." There was stunned silence in the hall - 20 lashes was bad, but 40 would kill a man!
Kinga, Riddett and the Sultan were all a little surprised at the first wish but then remember Willy has spend a lot of time arrested in small countries and is a bit mad. The Sultan asked Will for his second wish…"Tie Kinga to my back"
Good luck on Saturday Will on you wedding day may the force be with you…………………….

Arriving at Bayview with a full beared talking to a volley ball just in the nick of time….
