Swim for a Cause...
Women swim Channel to aid Afghans
A group of six women has begun a charity sponsored swim across the English Channel to raise money for a maternity hospital in Afghanistan.
The women range in age from 26 to 65, and hope to raise £50,000 for Afghan Mother and Child Rescue (AMCR).
They are due to take turns swimming, and aim to cover the 21 miles from Dover to Cap Gris Nez near Calais by Sunday evening.
The money they raise will go towards building a 10-bed hospital.
This will be located in a remote area of the Panjsher valley in collaboration with Afghanistan's Ministry of Public Health.
The women, who expect to be in the water for up to 20 hours, have been training intensively since May and coached by Freda Streeter, the mother of Alison Streeter, who has completed 43 solo Channel crossings to date.
The six swimmers are Clare Doyle, 64, Martha Fray, 56, Lorraine Jones, 56, Anne Macalpine-Leny, 51, Maree Mitchell, 31, and Alice Constance, 26.
All are members of the Serpentine Swimming Club in London's Hyde Park.
Ms Macalpine-Leny said: "The hardest thing is going to be the cold and the other thing is the strength of the currents and the waves.
"We wanted to raise money for the charity as we know exactly where it's going. "These areas are very remote - it is very difficult for the women to get any good maternity care at all and we think our struggle is nothing compared to what these women go through."
CSI
Just call me Tigasin. That's what I'm talking about
hahaha.. go ahead with that Tallg
Fair enough tig, but you need to give us an alternative acronym to use when something is only mildy amusing, not full on laugh-out-loud.
CSI (chuckling slightly inside)?

Hmm.. sensible posts? I see some people just jumping in threads and going against other QLers as well.
Give MJ a few months, she'll get tired of posting. She's still new... let's say a freshman in QL regardless of the number of her posts.
I don't have a copy of the QL handbook btw, can you guys e-mail it to me?
LOL
Please!!
Just call me Tigasin. That's what I'm talking about
You can't teach experience...
yea i can see you QT jumpin on your chair loling and tig sitting back on his chair blushing damn it where are the tent pics.
[img_assist|nid=73057|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]
lol (not).
Just call me Tigasin. That's what I'm talking about
:)
:P
It is true that lol gets used a huge amount on QL usually when the statement it refers to is not the least bit funny. I suspect it is the most used acronym in the world and it sucks now. Its been worked to death.
So how about restricting lol and only using lol when something is truly funny rather than mildly amusing?
Just call me Tigasin. That's what I'm talking about
Plenty of people on QL who do exactly the same, and plenty of people who happily join in and discuss her threads.
she is more of a chat gal not a forum that she will add her to cents. and i still havent seen anything sensible from her side. all just copy paste from newspapers and other websites and a goodmorning and bye bye banter. With this pace every one is getting annoyed with her and her one line of LOLlings.
[img_assist|nid=73057|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]
ditto mj (probably more including weekends) but I tend to restrain myself from posting in the "chit-chat" threads!
you're right tallg...8 hours a day, 5 days a week..
lol tig!
I don't think it has anything to do with typing speed mj, more to do with the amount of time people spend on here and how willing they are to post on any topic whatsoever!
tig,..can't help it if i type 50 wpm.. have a nice day!
:P
I have 3000 points in 2 years. But then again, I only have 9 fingers.
p>
Just call me Tigasin. That's what I'm talking about
guess i just have fast fingers..
Yes MJ, but there are only a few of them and they've been members for 1 or 2 years. 2000 in 8 weeks is definitely prolific!
is 2000 points in 8 weeks a big deal? i've seen members here with 5-figure points already...
How did you mange to get to 2000+ points just under 8 weeks lol!! I wish i could do it???
wow this is a gr8 job!! I wonder weather you had a sleep for last couple of weeks or you were sleeping on QL

thanks labda06...really.
I actually look forward to mjamille's threads. And this thread is interesting! Hate on heero and them, they deserve it, mjamille doesn't. Britexpat posts all the time, I dont see anyone hating on him.
-------------------sshwalleleh sshwalleloh-------------
janey, you forgot to mention about the joy of doing something for a cause... :)
Thats what I would normally do, the last I got into a Verbal Battle with anyone on QL was when I dont even remember, I for one, wont say I'm peace loving but I would certainly say, on an online forum I wouldnt want to entertain myself with any arguements...even for the ones involving race and religion, I have never been in those threads, and dont take an avid interest as well...
But in this case, its just that you dont overflood the Website, just cos it lets you do that...dont abuse the site with a whole load of info...yes some are worthwhile thats why I havent blasted her...with all due respect...but pheeewww that many...!!!
Ahh.. swimming. My first looooooooooove. I joined a swim for a cause event for Red Cross back in the day. LOL It was crazy and fun!! OMG the adrenaline!!
Ohh.. err.. KSA, you were saying? You lost me in.. nar nar..ner ner.. nyaar.. ;)
Some days I really hate QL.
Anyways, this is a good story. Has anyone on QL swum across the channel?
thank you tig.
Mjamille makes a perfectly good post with an interesting topic. I think it is both commendable and interesting that a group of English women of varying ages are doing something very difficult and demanding to help women in Afghanistan and raise awareness of their plight.
That post has now been hijacked by nonsense and insult. If you don't like the subject matter or if you don't like the person making the post, the best thing to do is to hold your silence and not respond.
Just call me Tigasin. That's what I'm talking about
Aaah now now I wouldnt certainly want to be the one to make you cry girl...o trust me i dont get into such sensitive positions...LOL! With all honesty, I wouldnt want to also...!!!
And about Rat's Azz...aaaah again I dont want to be looking down there as well....!!!LOL!
Just dont make me get into this topic or will damn every one
[img_assist|nid=73057|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]
Rats ass - shurely u mean Rats bottom? Dont get upset on QL.....I never do as if my comments cause offense it means they LOVE moi! Yippeeeeeeeeeeeeeee bollards to the lot of em! Gin time! Zipper dee doo da, zipper dee day,my oh my what a fabulous day!
Venezuela still sucks!
AAaa Chooooooo , EXCUSE ME !!!
Hope my SNEEZ spreads PEACE ova here ...LoL
Now come on my friend, lets take a quick review...about Oral Sex...(LOL) that was an extension to what she had put...Spanking and mad cow disease was in the light of it...now if she starts taking this offensive on a personal front, then she needs to consider what to take personal and what not to...!!!
And Janey, whilst this is an open forum, there needs to be a little consideration to the way this place is run, you cant have so many threads from 1 person on such a high frequence on a daily basis...its more like why do get annoyed when u see so many Vehicle or Iphone UNlocking threads on a daily basis...!!! Get the logic...And again, you ought to know that there is nothing personal...if there was, everytime she posts something I shud get on there...and pick...but I aint, its just today after a long while that I told her, take it easy on the Forum!!!
blah blah blah.. blah blah... im out of here.
almost in tears, hell no! you are certainly not the one that will make me cry! i don't give a rat's ass what you think!
Now you have just made it absolutely interesting a day for me!!!
alright...first things first...you really dont want me to be Rude do you now girl...and Darling that I called you was to make you feel special...again nothing personal...LOL! And that F-O...aaah girl, be nice now, lets not get everyone to know our intimate details now!!! Sssshhhh!!!! dont leak out "OUR" secrets...:P
Well, KSA.. it DOES sound that you have something personal against MJ.
If you feel the need to post like MJ, then go ahead please. No one is stopping you..
"does it actually sound like I have anything personal against that poor lady"
So far you've sworn at her, made insinuations about oral sex and spanking, and suggested she has mad cow disease.
Janey...aaaah how so I dont wish it was KSALiving.com...but hey on a daily basis ooooo look at her...again nothing personal, but that many just takes off the limelight off MJ!!! She is a Star who has walked into QL, but now the Brightness of the Star is fading away...with so many many threads...
Same reply to you Tigs...seriously, does it actually sound like I have anything personal against that poor lady...nothing people...but seriously if she is almost in Tears then oooo...take it easy girl...!!! Ok I mean if this is your oxygen go ahead...!!!
Whats a moderator? Someone who drinks gin in moderataion. Sod that I say...............yipppeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Hic!
All I know is that this is an open forum which people can post what they want on. There are moderators who remove anything they feel is unsuitable/unnecessary.
If it's nothing personal against her then try not to be so rude to her.
thanks to janey, tallg, and Tig... and to you ksa, go F-O!!!
dont call me darling coz i am not! WTF you blabbing about, go make 3000 points if you must!
Mj.. post away.. ;)
She can post what she wants. No one has to read her posts if they don't want to. She is not doing any harm or anything wrong. Let her be man.
Just call me Tigasin. That's what I'm talking about
im working at the same time, just so you know..
the spanking part, i would take it, but definitely not by you!
Geez.. KSA. Let her be.. Unless it's KSAliving.com ;)
Personal VEndetta...aaah my friend, nothing Personal at all from the least that I know...but again as I say, on such a Frequency, geeeezuz she is the only one! like for example, she is been on a Rampage mate...!!! LOL! Nothing person against the lady not her not anyone, come on man, you have got to know a bit better than that dont you!
LoL Ksarat ....
Bachhi aur woh ?? ha ha ha ....
or u may say buddi bachhi ...LOOL
Again I repeat...on such a Frequent BAsis...you are the ONLY ONE!!! I mean look at you already 2200 points, geeeezuz girl, you are sleeping, eating, s5itting QL I say!!! LOL!
KSA - why do have a personal vendetta against mj? She certainly isn't the only one posting lots of stories every day.
R-7...seriously, I m sure even they would have got fedup...with this girl...its like a Mad CoW Disease...LOL! AAaah quite interesting posts, but just posting like there is a NO TOMORROW is a bad habit...come here you need to spanked on that azz for being bad girl...LOL!
Rizks...hello hello bhai buddy mere...I'm doing fine (Tired) but thats fine...how you doing...arey main kahan jaan loonga...its just annoying...!!! And kyon bhai aapko bada pyaar aa raha hain bachi par...
you might want to double check if im the only one!
Ksa..........
GM - How are you man. Ki haal chaal ?
Jaan lega kia bachhi ki ? LoL
KSA if u've noticed the Good morning thread is already been removed so im sure all other un-necessary topics will disappear too .. Even the Admin's on high alert now :)
Now now lets be clean here...and not too rude...unless you are really keen on "BLOWING" MY "HORN"...LOL!
Again I repeat, on a DAILY Basis you are the only one!!!
And seriously, You really need to get some work your way, not too much work that we miss you on QL but atleast a little work so you dont have time to read other news except for QL...LOL!
FYI, im not the only one posting threads many times so go blow your horn somewhere else...
turn off the computer!NOW!
First of all a very good morning to you...
Second, seriously girl, take it easy on QL, and stop flooding QL with your continuous Threads...it takes a toll on the server...
Relax...ok if you have started a morning thread thats fair, and fine for obvious reasons of pumping energy and positivity on QL early morning...
But WTF girl, you have already put almost 3 or 4 threads since morning...
Take it easy, what are you on a points earning spree and Beat the DaRude mission in points..or what...
GET A LIFE!!!
I'm not telling this with any hatred or anything girl, but seriously take a look, you have been doing too many posts...Geeeezuz!!!
