I am collecting my babies on the weekend and they will also be looking new and cool.
Snowb4andit, I think that is a good suggestion.

How silly.

Tony,
I don't get it. Why does one star appear sometimes? And in fact I think I've seen 5 stars appear once. I don't normally see any stars at all.

Someone decided to rate a post. You can rate anyones post if you want, but I dont see the point in doing it TBH. I used to sometimes, but its a bit daft.
However, some people go around deliberately giving some members low ratings and over time this brings their star rating down which gives the impression they are not liked so much, and some peolpe deliberately go bigging up their friends or heroes. It has been suggested that some members have an alter ego or sock puppet (sound familiar?) who log on and give their other membership name a high rating.

You may be able to work out who likes who on here, and who doesn't by the stars being awarded, although I dont think it is possible to find out who has rated who. Its all quite complicated and IMO quite pathetic.

I only star rate a post if it is special - especially good or especially bad.

Caraon-a for example doesnt like negative or provocative posts, and is likely to 1 star them.

I'll leave the rest for you to work out.

It's very kind of you to try and find me enough time to get out of Courchevel at lunch time, but I think I'm going to be pretty busy!

I'm doing slalom lessons in English from 9.30-11.30 with esf 1550. Their meeting point is at 1850. Then I'm meeting up with my daughter's cousin, the one who's not so good at ski-ing, after her lesson, and ski-ing down with her to our apartment in 1550 for lunch. I'm collapsing with exhaustion at lunchtime, and eating and drinking lots of tea, and doing French revision.

Then, my daughter will arrive after her lessons which finish at 13-40, so that she can ski with her cousin after she's had some lunch, and I'm heading off for my afternoon lessons back up in 1850 which start at 14-15 and will be in French doing the 'ski pleasure' class which I think means ski-ing around and having fun.

So, I think I have a pretty full program already!

That's great though, hope you enjoy them all - I'll be keeping an eye out for decent package holidays just incase - Might work out cheaper if not the same price for less hastle in the end.

I think we're trying to book for the 23rd to suit everyone who'se going in terms of time off work etc.
