And so they did. The village got together and formed a company, and sold shares to anyone in the village who wanted them. The company bought the pub, then employed a professional manager and top-class chef and to this day the company and pub go from strength to strength and the village has a highly popular social centre. This is a true story!

I think there was talk about an English football team doing something similar too but I’m not so sure about the details.

So why not the J2VickySki ???

Just my sixpence worth :shock:

Jan

I'm in!!!!

As ever people, thank you. I'm not quite sure how I would've got through this year without you :-P

I queried the value of the question, and received in response "So that we can tell what level of skier you are for our statistics".

Which would give that company a really skewed set of stats.

In case you were wondering, I answered the question, and it was a green run :lol:

The only question I was asked was whether someone else was involved or not. These companies are all very different by the sounds of it.

ting tings!

[I was talking about portishead the other day Bandit. Is it good?]

I'm thinking this might be phase 5 Pavel?

Sorry Bandit, AJ et al. I think I'm going to have to bow out for 2009. :cry: :cry: :cry:

I went to my physio class last night and we were talking about it. A very experienced skier told me he had one acl replaced and then skied 11 months later which was fine. He's just had his other one done and will only have 9 months until March and, knowing how the first one felt, isn't going to risk it this season. My physio also said she thinks I'd be better off waiting until Tignes in April. What she has suggested is that I wait until nearer the time and see how it is then.

I've got Dave's words about his friend skiing La Grave 6 months after the op ringing in my ears but I just don't think I can be anywhere near as athletic as she is!

So, unless I can do a last minute thing I'm going to have to give it a miss. :cry: :cry: :cry:

2010 anyone???

So I think we can agree that the moral of the story is drag yourself back on piste this year and go with direct travel next year!

I'm having an ice-the-sore-knees-break :cry:

Now, if only I could get my IE to allow me to browse Europe..... :roll:
