Freedive Dahab MINICOMP may 2009

[trullalla]

As if we didn't have enough to do with the shop and the courses and the training and the coaching of the FDD useless team and the designing of funky freedivewear and the production of hundreds of new instructors and the search for a husband, we decided to have a minicomp also this year, for the 3rd year in a row.

The list is quite full, and just a couple of places are left.
Here's the list of the athletes:
-marek apjar, CZE
-flavia Eberhard, BRA
-marc lenoir, FRA
-mark harris, UK
-sina schieweck, GER
-mike wells, AUT
-david tranfield, UK
-seamus murray, AUT
-wendy timmermans, HOL
-betti wolfer, SWI
-yaron hoory, ISR
-nanna kreutzman, DEN

These funky athletes will fight for fame and glory during the days of 29th and 30th of may, obviously in the deep and snorkellers infested waters of blue hole, dahab.
They will have the chance to chose between the 3 depth disciplines (fin, cwt, cnf), and the bravest winners will get lots of respect and maybe a "I'M NOT A PUSSY-ANYMORE" t-shirt.
Somebody will go for a national record, somebody else will be an embarrassment for their nation.

linda and lotta will be the judges (bribes are allowed as usual) (btw, I'm running out of proper coffee), katya will be the sexiest safety diver but don't look at her too much or dean will get upset and forget to switch on the surface camera and the athletes will have to dive again and get all pissy.

If anybody wants to come down here and help with the safety or just to watch the back outs, you are most welcome.
If anybody wants to compete, we still have 3 spots left.
If anybody wants to marry me, choppy chop, I'm running out of time.
If anybody wants to come and stay in dahab, we're looking for a shop keeper/counter person/slave.

bump!
Thanks for the kind invitation, Trullallà, that's a very tempting proposal for the DB folks.

(Me I'm already someone else's husband and slave, but she might kick me off any moment now.....choppy chop...)

Can it be combined? Sallary? Working hours? Tasks?

PS Please publish a photo of your shop. Possibly the best freediving shop in the world (and most likely one of the only).

Linda, please provide profile of ideal husband

sebastian, why do you ask?...are you interested??? wow, i'm almost flattered.

island, here's the list of must be in order of importance:
1. rich
2. hot
3. patient (maybe this should be number 1 actually)

 

[rxcnc2]

I'm confused, is the minicomp about diving or about who becomes Linda's husband and shopkeeper? Unfortunately I fail one of the three requisites... damn. :rcard

If anybody wants to come down here and help with the safety or just to watch the back outs, you are most welcome.

Do you plan to stab them when they surface?

 

[Sina]

maybe I should skip the comp and try to apply for the shop bitch position...

dahab is at least closer to germany than australia and if the IC goes on like this its likely that mike wont want to work with me anymore )

and its hard to earn less than I get in australia - but my german organisation skills & background might be a problem...I guess its possible to get used to the egyptian way of life...

Wow, even i would marry you, just for the shop!

 

[trullalla]

updates:looks like we found our slave, and he's even cute.
now it's only the husband left to find.

rxcnc2 (gosh, do you have a proper name? it's kinda hard remembering a list of consonant that long when you hit my age), to take you out of your confusion: the minicomp is just a coverage for my husband hunt, but if i post a thread called "desperately looking for a husband" they're going to move it in the losers section and i'll end up marrying a nerd.

I know Linda, I wanted to change it to some easy to remember lung-related word like pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis, but I forgot my password (old age you know) and all I see are those silly little asterisks...

well, actually....hold your breath, because i have explosive news: i did find a husband. or to phrase it better i found a guy who promised me to marry me soon (well, in 6 years when i will have totally fallen apart).
so i'm looking now for a short term husband (say 4/5 years)

our little slave is german, and other than not meeting the financial requirements, he's not meeting the age requirements (i'm quite flexible with that, but the guy he's not quite 20 yet!).

Does it mean he is now 12 and needs to wait 6 more years to be able marrying you? Or does he serve a sentence, and still have to make another 6 years in the prison? Well, the later should not be an issue - you can have a nice marriage in a prison too.

 

[drea]

ok, i seem to remember sofus promising a marriage as well, and that deal fell apart. i think to be sure that he (the new guy) is not just fooling you, you should have some sort of agreement or written contract. go to a lawyer and make a dahab marriage, just so that there is some legal ties. i mean, you dont wanna sit and wait for 6 years and then he tells you he changed his mind.
also, i would not call a 4/5 year marriage short term. this is more than most people can do these days.

 

[trullalla]

ok andrea, the truth is that the idea of waiting 6 years was mine: when faced with the opportunity of getting into a life lasting, monogamous (doesn't it sound so scarily similar to monotonous??) relationship i freaked out and bought some time.
after all i'm still too young and immature to take these kind of permanent decisions.
this is why i figured i can have a short term marriage before, so i can train and increase my low levels of boredom tolerance.

We got a new aussie on the scene and potentially a new FIM record on the cards, fresh from the hands of Seamus who only got it a month ago.

Best of luck Mike!
