I've heard of Acid House, My Booky Wooky and the Big Issue, that's all.

Snowb4ndit,
The red dragon has been a Welsh symbol of independance since the Dark Ages of Arthurian legend

I thought King Arthur was Cornish?

The Hotel Bruxelles restaurant (it's open to the public)...fabulous food, reasonable prices and very popular with the locals too! It's just down the hill on the same saide as the gondola. :D

But - when it's snowing I have to wear goggles over my glasses because otherwise I can't see where I'm going and when I stop they fog up (because I'm steaming with the effort of trying to ski). Goggles that don't fog up are essential. Also, goggles help when the light is 'flat' and you can only see 2-dimensions and you can't see the bumps and dips.

I hate wearing goggles because they restrict my vision so much, and I usually ski wearing my glasses with my goggles slung around my neck.

I have Oakley Stockholms (they are for ladies)and they are the best I've had for peripheral vision. I don't like the way sunglasses steam up.

Have a look at this one if you are not into DIY, hope it helps :mrgreen:

Ummmmmm...he might have a few problems with the chalet owners on his departure, unless he takes some polyfiller and a tin of paint with him too. :lol:

Is the red dragon extinct or is it simply fictional like Puff the magic one? :mrgreen: :lol:
