Meeting new people in chalets

How odd. He was angry with you and you hadn't done anything? Is there a chance you MIGHT just have said something to provoke him, as I find it a little odd that a random stranger would suddenly decide that you were responsible personally for his brother losing his job?

The other bloke banging on about him and his daughter, met plenty of them in my time. Lots of people talk a good game. Maybe he believed they were that good? Or maybe he was just up his own you know what.

Ally I don't suppose the fact that you sacked his brother 2 weeks before the ski holiday had anything to do with it. )

Very funny Brooksy :lol:

I think it was simply because it was very much on his mind and I happened to be sitting there - a trapped audience as it were. There was no logic to his argument - he was just angry and upset. And, of course, I WAS on the ski holiday whereas his brother wasn't.

So was it just you and this bloke alone?

How about "I had to get special permission from my parole officer to to come away!"

Ooo yes, and say you haven't had a holiday for over 10 years because you've been inside. Oh hang on, same thing isn't it?

Rose,
There was an awful man we had to share a table with once, in a chalet in Tignes. He decided, for some reason I forget - maybe because I am English, that I was responsible for his brother losing his job which was why his brother wasn't with him on the ski holiday. And it took me the entire length of dinner to persuade him otherwise. We sat somewhere else afterwards.

I guess thats what he wanted...... you should have stayed there all week just to pee him off and made lots of noises when you were eating dinner :thumbup:

I was sitting next to someone on a bus a couple of years ago, coming back from a ski holiday, and he said he'd just been let out of prison and he showed me his ankle monitoring device. It was most interesting. I'd never seen one before - only on the telly. I don't know how many crimes he'd committed in total but he'd broken into our local post office and he entertained me for ages telling me all about it.

Come to think of it - maybe I should be more careful about who I sit next to :shock: :lol:
