The August Blues Contest : Win Free Polar Fleece Jacket

Mon, 2 Jul 2012 11:46:48 GMT

Ha,,,,,August near end of Summer yet far away from snow flakes.

I want to help you all get past the famous skier's August blues.

I am having the August Blues Contest in order to sharpen your skier's minds. To sharpen those sensory neurons. To awaken your skier's mind. To make you more observant while skiing. To see those objects, tools, etc,,,,that you never see.

On the second week of August, I will post an item every third day. Person can send me the answers via my PM and I will note answers. First person who obtains correct answer will get a point. Again DO NOT post answers on general chat site ( unless you want others to win ).

A total of 10 points will get you a polar fleece jacket, with an embroidered logo from a Heli ski company in Alaska and best of all your name embroidered on the front.

So read up on skiing. Get the brain in full gear. Get all your "Summer projects" done since you will be busy in the coming weeks. You will not be able to sleep since few answers will be found on Google. May I suggest you located a great ski tuner, a good observant skier and learn to Increase picture quality on your screen. Enough said!

You can form groups if you desire and share jacket.

You can share information if you desire.

I will try to keep away from making hints as we go along.

I also promise not to "comment" of Mikes unique answering technique.

Bandit this is your chance to get that jacket now. If you win,,not only will I embroider you name but also "BANDIT" on jacket so all skiers will identify you as you walk in ski chalets all over Europe.

All others,,see if you can "keep up" with Bandit!

Get ready,,,,,,

Enjoy.

This is going to be fun :P
It will be the return of the sleepless night syndrome! :(
But we will learn, and then learn some more :shock: :D
However, Pavel's comment: "I also promise not to "comment" of Mikes unique answering technique." has me a bit puzzled as it has served me well and is my best means of answering "universally" :lol:
Mike :wink:

Mike,

As I told you previously, you have a unique way to answer or to post answer answer since you give me 2-4 choices ( of course embedded is the correct answer).
In your case the first response will be the one I will consider "correct".

I am hoping others will not discover your technique since it will give me sleepless nights.

Enjoy August !

By the way Mike,,,have you seen the movie August Rush? If not rent video since it will explain what I said to you about 'listening to music while I ski" !

Note for the "others",,I ski without earplugs since I hear music while I ski,,,,,, very much like the little boy in the movie . Go see movie and you will be a better person, better parent and much much better skier.

Trust me.

:shock: :shock: Holy cow Pavel, the flooding must be bad if you need to move to the third floor :wink:

Seriously, I hope you do not suffer much damage, nor your friends and neighbours. Good luck.

If I remember correctly you are not from Norfolk Felthorpe.

Does that make you a broad by adoption or half a broad?
Really not sure of the correct form of address here.

I await an authorative response.

I did say "live in" not "from" Old Andy.

I have only been here 25 years, so I am not local yet but whenever I say I live in Norfolk people make assumptions, why is that bor?

Well being a Norfolkian by adoption as you are (although of not quite similar longevity) there is a certain "rural" character to many Norfolk folk.
Personally I love it.
:mrgreen:
I have just come back from a most enjoyable week in the Isle of Wight and drove through the New Forest where I grew up, past the old school and all those sorts of places. That is a beautiful part of the country - but oh so busy!!!!
Norfolk I find delightfully quiet in comparison.
The isolation of Norfolk and the fact that it takes us an hour to drive out of the county (got stuck in the traffic after the horrible accident on the A11 - 2.5 hours Mildenhall to Brandon !!)leads to a certain other wordlyness that I think is reflected in those living here.
Normal for Norfolk rules OK ??
