4 more working days & 6 more sleeps before operation Engleberg with the BTSC will be their 27th year tour,doubt whether will be able to wave to any of you apart from maybe Lota who`s staying in Fawlty Towers at the same time as us.
Will try to see Eric in the ski lodge as he has been very helpful in relation to ski equipment ect.

To everyone else going out,wish you all a safe & happy time. :D

I'm afraid it's all wrapped up in a big bandage at the moment, Bandit, so there's nothing much to see. I'm supposed to go back to the GP on Friday for them to have a look at it, but presumably they'll just re-bandage it.

Sorry to disappoint you :wink:

Well can we see a copy of the x ray :lol:

1. Carefully drop sallos and any under garments you may be waring

2. Hook your arm through your sallo braces so they do not flap behind you or it could end up messy.

3. Slightly squat at 45 degrees.

4. Remember right arm holding the sallos braces and left arm behind you against the wall or system pipe

5. Now you should be at the correct angle for a successful number two's

6. Mission accomplished :lol: :lol:



Wickers, you put your heart & soul & a whole lot more into that post. Brilliant.

IMO not that clever as there's no mention of how you would hold & read a newspaper :roll:

karen72 wrote:yes sorry another bladder issue! lol,not that I am paranoid or anything but following on from my "shewee" debate, I was a bit worried about some of the replies that I got about peeing over holes in the ground. Is this the case? (I am going to Valmorel) do they have these in mountain restaurants or in normal restuarants? sorry to ask these questions but i have never been to France before and the thought of having to squat over one of these holes in the ground, with my ski boots, salopettes and thermals on whilst trying to hold my jacket in one hand and toilet paper in the other, just doesnt fill me with glee :shock:

is it regular to find these types of toilets on the slopes? if so, where have you found them so I can compile a list of places to avoid lol :wink:


Karen You should be Ok in Valmorel I can't remember any dodgy toilets the last hole in the ground I used was in Bormio in Italy many years ago, so fear not many cold seats await you. :wink:


Wickers why were you in the women s toilets :roll:

Therfore you don't generate the force in a turn to flex the ski as a more experienced skier might. Which brings up another question, what is the flex of your boots ? At your size, the average ski boot of 80 to 100 flex would be like a wellington boot.


Trencher


I think you are just confusing him now :evil:


What just him I thought it was most of us :shock:

I'm not :oops:

You could drop them an email and ask for advice.


Thanks Bandit

Confused about the phrase Big Enough, does that mean in stature or ability :?:
