There is nothing worse than hearing a skier/boarder coming up fast behind you and hoping they are in control. I would rather know there is potential danger approaching than be ignorant and unprepared.

Probably not, he might be cross when he gets back from baling out :oops: |

I did say "live in" not "from" Old Andy.
I have only been here 25 years, so I am not local yet but whenever I say I live in Norfolk people make assumptions, why is that bor? |

My guesses are:
1) Knee injuries 2) Bruises including black eyes 3) Cuts from falling on sharp edges (skis) 4) Ankle injuries 5) Sun burn and/or dehydration I have had 3 out of 5 |

We took snow chains with us when we went to France last December. It is just as well we did. On the way up to La Plagne we saw people stopping in laybys to put on their chains, there were signs out directing everyone to do so. We were able to go quite a way up before stopping (because we have a 4x4) but still others with "ordinary" cars were coming past without them. We came across these enthusiastic people a few bends later where they had been stopped or got stuck! The Gendarmes were stopping everyone who didn't have chains on and and insisting they put some on. Those that had no chains with them had to wait in a layby until some kind person came back down to rescue them with a spare set. This is the first time I have witnessed this comeraderie with the sharing of snow chains and it was refreshing. However the moral of this tale has to be; get some snow chains if you are skiing in France, as there may not always be a happy skier who is prepared to come back down the mountain to help you out by lending you theirs. The Gendarmes just will not let you up the mountain without them if the conditions are bad. Is it worth the risk?

I have seen those "appliances for women" that supposedly make bodily functions as easy as men find them!!!!
Have you read the instructions though? Have to practice first......... in the shower! Please....... Think I will stick to the trusted method of queueing and tucking everything (well most) in pockets or just hovering (don't ask). |

I thought my daily trip to work would be blighted by the torch, which was due to be going the other way on the same road at 9:07 but instead everyone stayed away thinking there would be gridlock and I arrived at work 5 mins earlier than normal. The whole world had deffo gone mad!
