40 lots!

Gin...drink Gin -)


Only kidding..as said above , lessons in resort with an instructor

Ah...sorry about that Dave Mac...just trying to make a silk purse out of a pigs ear! -)

Think I may Trott along and see this one..it sounds far better than the cow one and maybe they give away free scratchings if you tell a few porky pies at the venue.

I find that my thighs are burning at the end of the day too. Beer seems to cure it! :lol:

Father Christmas has been rather good to me this year. Not only has he delivered me some nice new goggles but has also left me a voucher for some nice new planks.

But what to buy. So with a membership approaching 70,000 I thought I would ask you all for your advice. I know buying skis is subjective but there are just so many to choose from.

Criteria...Male, 62, 72Kgs 179cms, fit...ish, high intermediate level but not keen on moguls but like a bit of off piste. Enjoy cruisy turns but no aerobatics due to age and wish to stay alive.

On my list so far

Head Rev 75
Nordica Fire Arrow 74
Salomon Enduro 750
Salomon BBR series...like the ski not the price.

Add your thoughts to my shopping list please.

Thanks and ALL have a great New Year. Roll on Feb!!

I suppose if us skiers are in the way they could always use their horns!...This must stop sooooon pleeeeese...else it will go on for heifer and heifer. :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

A few of my social contacts....loosely speaking will already have seen this but in the Christmas spirit of fairness I though I would share...

With the holidays upon us, I would like to share a personal experience with my friends about drinking and driving. As you may know, some of us have been known to have brushes with the authorities from time to time on the way home after a "social session" out with friends.

Well, two days ago I was out for an evening with friends and had several cocktails followed by some rather nice red wine. Feeling jolly, I still had the sense to know that I may be slightly over the limit. That's when I did something that I've never done before - I took a cab home.

Sure enough on the way home there was a police road block, but since it was a cab they waved it past. I arrived home safely and without incident. This was a real surprise, as I had never driven a cab before. I don't know where I got it, and now that it's in my garage, I don't know what to do with it. :mrgreen:
Merry Christmas everyone Hic
