Good time to be getting off to the Alps, methinks, and get away from the coffin dodgers.

So then Tony, at what age exactly, will you retire from skiing?

I have no idea. Probably when my body doesnt work anymore. I would hazard a guess at probably in my 60s, but you never know.

The coffin dodgers was a reference to the average age of people in Bournemouth, which I understand is around 87.

Shovel not required, Bandit, you naughty little stirrer.

Oh what a shame will you only be ski-ing for a couple more years :lol: :lol: :lol:

Sounds like a great idea, my dream to live in the Alps, if only

Wengen?

davidmpires wrote:Yeah I agree with you Tony, not even mentioning groups, but any immigrant that goes to a country and seeks benefits and council houses during the first 5 years shouldn't be allowed in.

Anyway i didn't meant to hijack the thread, an artificial reef seems pretty pointless to me even more if you consider the weather in britain. Would be more suitable to a more moderate climate

Weatherwise you dont get good surf its usually in stormy weather that its any good. Whilst Bmouth has got its share of undesirables, the biggest population is the OAP,s, and they come by the coachload Nov and Dec for the old tinsel and turkey weekends. What are they expecting a row of zimmer frames along the prom while the oldies have a quick dip before their bridge games.

We,ve got them already. These properties are in the million pound range, surely they would'nt :lol:

Nearly £3m on a reef that actually serves no purpose, for the sake of a small number of people who MIGHT try to learn how to surf there?
This is a disgrace. Where is the anti-reef petition I can sign? Is there anything about it on the Number 10 board? What a huge and unnecessary waste of tax payers money. :twisted:

Totally agree, guess there were a few backhanders going on here between property developers etc. Just found out that all these luxury, designer appartments are actually owned by the council. Hope no-body buys them.
No residents were ever asked if they wanted it.
In to-days paper they are now talking of spending a small fortune on a Statue or something welcoming people to Bournemouth, currently the welcome to B sign is right outside the sewage works. As you first approach Bmouth the first thing you notice is the smell. Says it all really.

I spend all day giving advice on giving up smoking, then get caught in my tea-breaks having a crafty one out in the shopping precinct, gets very embarrassing :oops:
I went to Cornwall for a long weekend the week the no smoking ban hit us, the weather was awful, torrential rain, thunder storms, I,m huddled outside, in me posh frock, soaked to the skin I must have been mad, all for the love of a quick ciggie.

I love Fistral beach and all the little coves around there. The set up there is great, except you can not take a beer onto the beach, its strictly a no drinking beach, may-be thats a safety thing or a way of getting you to buy in their expensive restaurants :lol:
