Trying to get Vanilla Ice on Everest

This is my first ever blog thingy, so if it's iteresting/ funny then happy days and if it's not then it's free and it's probably better than doing work in an office, so buckle up.

Some of you know what this blog is about for those who do not it's pretty simple: 2 teams, one called Hillary and one called Tenzig, both walk all the way to base camp to have the highest game of recorded cricket (it will be a world record) and in doing so we aim to raise 250 000 sheckles for charity- just a regular sunday morning for me. So if this interests you check out our progress and donate on www.atestabovetherest.com


After the first team Hillary meeting I'm extremely excited about raising a school assembly hall of funds for charity. I'm so excited in fact, that in my email to everyone trying to rally the team I was quite rightly told of for swearing, it made me feel about 8. But i did admittedly start it with the phrase 'awesome Hillary C**ts' so I guess it's fair enough.

We are currently trying to do a variety of things and one of them that I have been assigned to do is to find Vanilla Ice aka Robin van Winkle and get him to come with us. Me and BJ (yes as in....) will start trying to find him on saturday. We live in Chiswick, West London, so I guess the first place to check should be at the George IV pub on the highroad, because anyone who is anyone goes there and so I expect to see him propped against the bar with a really cool white man rapper drink like JD and Coke with an cherry on a cocktail stick and maybe a tiny umbrella.

Talking of drinks: we were supposed to find out the alcoholic beverage of choice for Sir Edmund Hillary by reading his book, me and BJ instead texted AQA, which is not only easier than reading a whole book, but also I remember something my Dad told me a long time ago and that is 'reading is for gays'. BJ texted first asking what his favourite drink was and unsurprisingly it was not alcoholic, but much to our amusement it is apparently hot lemonade...mmm yum yum my favourite too, but maybe that means not only was he the first man to climb up Everest he was the inventor of the popular remedy Lemsip. His favourite alcoholic drinks were: Himalayan beer, Nepali apple marpha brandy and Tibetan Chang and maccoli- local drinks made from fermented rice. All of those should be easy to find in W London. I reckon that we mix it up a bit and have brandy and hot Lemsip, that should loosen everyone up nicely.

right Chrissy M out! (I don't know why I called my blog Chrissy M: I panicked massively as at no point in my life have I ever called myself it. It must be the blog messing with my mind)
