The whole section in Hoth is what I think got me fixated with snow.

I always have packed luches in Paradiski. The views are far better.

Nope, I'd utterly hate that. In fact I am so happy that I am in the office just now instead of on some silly mountain.
Beer

Speaking from experience - having worked in a brewery (Inveralmond) and having judged a few beer festivals in my time, I would have to say the best beer is the free one.

I'd like to see him prove that.

He looks like he needs a bottle in a brown paper bag and a bench in the park.


I have been on more than Ryan "We'll Pull the Fillings Out of Your Teeth as You Sleep" Air. I have often not had any money on me - as I was using cards.

If I am forced to use them again and they bring this preposterous idea to fruition I will take an empty bottle with me and leave a filled bottle when I disembark. Whether I put the lid on id dependant on my mood that day.

I wonder if the little sheet on the head rest is a good device for wiping one's @r&e? If so I may also bring a shoe box.

I just noticed Iceman's sick bag idea. Would it be wrong to put it back in the magazine holder on the back of the chair after you have finished twoing?

Lost a ski

I have to admit to owning tacers too but they save me a lot of time, just make sure they are tucked in as there is nothing more embarassing than falling because you are tangled up in your tracers.
I have finally convinced the girly girl to spend Christmas in a ski resort on the understanding that the place has a fireplace.

Any reccomendations? It has to be relatively cheap, a bit of nightlife and have a good history of snow at that time of year. Also activities outside of skiing would be a bonus but not that important.

I've spent most of my skiing in France and haven't been to other parts of Europe for skiing in at least a decade so am out of touch with the rest.

Really, I am just looking for your favourites or places that have been good for that time of year.

Cheers
