No matter what weather, a pair of 'clingy' boxer type jockey things, very thin loose fitting cotton trackies and my Spyder Godfather pants with the vents undone.

Warm, breezy and comfy on the wee fella.

Used terminal 5 about 12 times this year and no problems, one of the best terminals I have come across in my travels. Sure they had a major **** up, but now it is fast, clean and efficient. The BA First lounge is quite nice too ;o)

I just get the train.

What do I get?

I'm not sure, do you have any ideas :lol:

I don't know, a week in a mountian spa resort in Switzerland with a 6 day lift pass would do for starters :P

It was probably the most sober holiday of my life, the reason was far more innocent, it was my first time up the mountain, never skied or boarded before. All my mates were off doing blacks, and the only thing I had in common with black was the colour of my knees.

ISTR you saying that you took yourself out of lessons after a day or so. Do you think you would have progressed faster if you had stuck with them?

Did you get some knee guards, before or after the black knees? )

Interesting question. I really don't know, I don't take instruction of any kind very well to be honest. However I am very happy with the level I have acheived since then, wish I was doing it now :cry:

Caught myself waking up to two dreams last night, one was about work (again) and the other about snowboarding.... what does that tell you??

Never used any protection at all btw, I now find not falling ovr in the first place far more effective!!

BTW, I found La Plagne to be far more expensive than val d'Isere. There was one bar in Belle Plagne, where it was 7 Euro for everything,....a beer,....a box of smokes,......to hang your ski-jacket up?!?!?!? If I had asked the barman for a Euro he'd have probably charged me 7.

Even though the poster wants to go to France, I am betting it is less than 10 posts before the M-word or the N-word gets mentioned )

As for France, I have only been to La Plagne and Val d'Isere/Tignes. I would recommend the second combo, I enjoyed it far more, has a bigger night life. Mazbe it was cos I could not stand up in La Plagne!
