As a sweetener, I cover flight costs too

Ok, I can apply.

I am a great cook, can tell stories till the coos come home, and can nearly keep up with Jan on the Schnapps. Well, I lied about the last bit. And probably most of the stories are well developed truths.

Here are my ts&cs.

I will be available for work, anytime outside the hours of 8.30am to 5.30pm. plus say an extra 15min to shower. And a half hour recuperation snooze.

What d'ya think Jan? Irresistable offer?

But some day,,you will be skiing and something will tell you to look at that skier that looks as good as DaveMac,,,,,maybe just maybe!

Pavel, your're joshing me now. :oops:

A lovely story, full of pictures, like the windmills of our minds.

I was just having a momentary guilt crisis. I'm back to feeling ok about it

Well that didn't take too long Trencher! 8)

Did your son get that soccer scholarship in Colorado?

I fear there is a little mis-understanding.

Both of my sons separately worked their university summers in the States, in Wisconsin, and later, in Oregon. Both qualified as lifeguards, and seemed to spend their time saving nice looking young ladies, even when the ladies were in no trouble.

Don't know where they got that from. :shock:

Pavel, you are so right. The ladies who ski, look at the world in a different light.

So, skiing alone, and going up the gondola, I got talking to a wonderful dutch lady. Her young child was back in Niederau village, being looked after by her husband, and she was getting to ski the morning. After a few interchanges, we found we had worked for the same ski schools. And so passed a blissful mornings skiing with a most pleasant and very capable lady skier. At the end of the morning, she told me, this was her last run of the day. So, we looked in the eye, each gave a grin, and we punched gloves.

Then, I have mentioned before, about my special second home, the Bichlwirt, a 500-year old place, that is deep in my heart. On the walls are racing certificates, from the lady that runs the Bichlwirt. Every winter, we go skiing together, she just skis. I race. I have never won.

So I thought about this a lot, what could I do? I told her that she was a rubbish skier, because she couldn't turn. I told her to follow me, although I was fairly sure what might coming. For 3/4 of the way down the mountain, I could hear her impatient skis holding back.

Then, she came roaring past, doing the tiniest of turns, don't even think carving, we are talking toe-wrinkling. Even though I went pretty well straight down the fall line, I was left for dead.

At the bottom, she slightly smiled, but I laid into her. "There you are", I said, "that proves it, you couldn't manage one decent turn."

And here my friends is a piece of poetry, by an Austrian, in English.

She said, "I was very modest with my space". One day, I will write a song about that line.

There is a third lady item. The daughter of the lady that runs the Bichlwirt, is shaping up to be faster than the mother. She is eleven/twelve years old.

No guilt without sin.

Obviously, no sin.

So no guilt.

Just ski, board, snow.

Oh, one other thing. By the Mac-criteria, you do qualify as a ski-bum. No work, just ski/board. So that's OK.

Come April, that's different. I really hope things get fixed up for you good style.

Help me Admin Dave, help me, I'm under threat from another J2skier :cry: :cry: :cry:


Where are we going for the scnapps Jan? We could do that while my OH goes skiing with TH. OK, she is recovering from a broken leg, but that should just even things out. :twisted:
