Its the first quiz I have ever done where I knew all the correct answers 8) which makes me the obvious winner, unfortunatley they are doing a draw for the prize so you all have the same chance of winning as me :(

Really? Well, what were the correct answers on that sustainable tourism section?

That took me ages, and I'm not sure I fully understood some of the questions and their implications - but I did my best!

Perhaps this should be called the Dribble thread :oops:

Totally agree brooksy - maybe there needs to be a special Dribble thread primarily for Nelly and Ally?
They seem to be the main culprits for dribbly type things ATM.
:roll:

Eew.

or Ewe??
typo?
:wink:

Excuse me, Andy, I deleted my particular bit of 'dribble' about 30 seconds after I posted it up, and it's not my fault if you're so quick with your mouse that you managed to read it first :evil: :lol:

Actually, I've just thought of another, much worse one, but I'm going to be very self-restrained and not post it up :D

I don't know Icy. I've given up watching telly and I've been reading books instead.

In fact, I haven't watched it for about 2 months. I think I'm going to cancel my £21 p.m. Sky contract and spend the money on a lift pass instead. Telly seems to be all repeats these days, so maybe I'll start watching it again in about 5 years time when perhaps they will have made some new programs/films.

You're quite right DaveMac, his name isn't Rustyinn :lol:

I'm not too sure exactly how 'rusty' he is, or indeed how long it takes for a skier to become 'rusty'.

I am feeling pretty rusty myself and the last time I skied was April!

I think he may well have some trouble keeping up with the faster members of the group, but that shouldn't be a problem because Bonjour have 2 free ski hosting groups divided into fast/good skiers and those who like lots of coffee stops/less good skiers.

In fact, I'm not too sure which group to put myself in - because I do like my hot chocolate stops!

And, if he finds he's seriously rusty he can always get some lessons with ESF, Ski Evolution or TDC or any of the other ski schools. In fact, according to Tignes.co.uk there are at least 9 ski/board schools in Tignes:

Thanks very much Snowcrazy, that's a big help :D

I can tell you that the new guy coming ski-ing with us is not Tony H, or Snapzzz (or Bedrock Barney).

However, I forgot to ask him if he minded me releasing his J2Ski name on here, and he says he's going to be off the internet for a few days, so I can't ask him.

So, you'll just have to wait in suspense for a few days ...

But, I suppose I could tell you that he's about ten years younger than me, and I think I've already said that he's a rusty intermediate skier, so that eliminates quite a few people ...
