reply to 'Ski Quiz is on! Win a free unique polar fleece vest' posted Apr-2009Oh Pavel, I think is your toughest yet. The time frame is so challenging. How can I explain all these hours on the computer to my wife? In a week when I am supposed to be rewiring and plumbing in my son's new, (old stone Scottish) house? At the same time organising the membership for our Tennis club? And the stone wall building, and the other son's garden? Man, it's a hard life.
Well it will have to be done. But where to start. I think a couple of the questions are a bit difficult.
And the remainder of course, are impossible.
I'm thinking question 6. We used to have a guy in Manchester Harriers who used the same stuff to ermm, he reckoned, improve his race times. Let's just say that his wife, and any location near the race start were involved. :shock: No, it couldn't be that, there are no bus shelters on the ski slopes. :-)

You have all the honors! Imagine two polar fleece jackets from two "special" ski resorts! Once you find out this "new" ski resort you will try even harder!
This vest makes skiers part as you walk by! You will heard whispers as you walk by! Then someone will ask, "did you really ski there?" Are skiers really that fanatic? Is it true about THE,,,, lift? Tell us how it,,,what is it really skiing there!
This site has the smartest skiers and you do have one week!!!!
Just think what you will have learnt!
Just that first item is a ski course in itself!!
The DVDs are coming ,,,,

reply to 'Ski Quiz is on! Win a free unique polar fleece vest' posted Apr-2009Everyone,
Is it not wonderful to "tease' the brain to think!
To make those "neurons" fire,finding connections! I know for sure that when Geordieski finds out about item 6,,,she will rush to her husbands side and bring him to a site which has video and they will watch "how they did it"!!!
You learn at every age!
