Ellistine were you one of the 900 boats that came to Bournemouth to watch the airshow. Never seen so many boats in my life.

Our boat never leaves Portland Harbor let alone making it to Bournemouth! We did think about coming up for that Firework World Record attempt. I hear it didn't go quite as planned?

Hmm, yes I heard about that. Tres amusing.

Bordeaux. Although I do like a nice Chardonnay.

And it's much cheaper at a fiver. Although I will probably be going on the Saturday which is 13 quid (no more hols left!)

Me and hubby are planning on ski-showing it this year, so I'm up for it, assuming it's the weekend - are we talking London or Birmingham?

I dont like the fact they ruin your house and make everything smell. Something cats dont do.
I dont however dislike dogs as much as horses. Those things are vile and are only good for making glue. Why do people insist on riding them on the roads???? :evil:

Not a fan then Tony?

We have a yellow lab, he's a complete fruit cake. Would never make the grade for any kind of training, unless sausages are involved. He's just turned 2 and still steals socks and pants, chews my furniture and thinks the back garden is a race circuit. Wouldn't change him for the world.

They are gorgeous dogs, baby is extremely cute.

he had booked it to coincide with the annual World Economic Forum

Yup, I'd agree there, our hard earned cash that could have gone towards a much more reasonable ski holiday in somewhere a lot less fancy.

He can always become a golf pro to get the cash back.

I'm excited just about the prospect of booking our hols next week :shock:

This has definately been discussed at some point before.

We've never been questioned about what's in the ski bag but we saw a couple getting collared on the next check in desk to us (same flight) about what was in their board bag. They made them take all their clothes out and put them in their luggage them charged them for it. Charming.

We flew out last year with one set of skis and came back with two, no questions asked. It really depends on who you're flying with and how chirpy the check in desk bod is feeling that day.
