Er, Dave Mac and Jan,
Given that it's bucketing down in Niederau, and Blodyn abnd I are starting our journey, Thelma-and-Louise-style, early on Saturday morning, hoping to get to Worgle by, er, lunchtime, do you think we should invest in some chains?
My plan is to telephone big Phil or Eric and ask them to come down to Worgl with chains to fit Blod's car, if the Worgle/Niederau road is iffy. L.

i'll be watching at about 8.30 - 9.00am UK time tomorrow morning, at the view of the village and the beginner slope. how many red jackets are there in the pic?!!! L.

duh, tony h,
you seem to have got off rather lightly so far at blodyn's hands. i, however, am an altogether different matter. one word: MAESTEG.
SEE you in N! watch out for the big welsh flag in the ski show on the sunday evening!
L.

Hoop,
AS PER DAVE MAC AND TONY H,
your friends will not have a holiday if they don't book lessons. simple. it's a false economy to not have lessons. and what happens if/when someone falls and hurts themselves because they have no idea what they're doing? what if they career into someone else on the piste because THEY can't stop?
having taught children to ski under the watchfulness of the ski school in N, i can tell you it takes me two and a half days from complete beginner stage to get children on the lift system.
please show your friends selected posts on this, no, all the posts, so that they can at least make an informed decision. good luck- you'll need it! L.

Jan, soz, yes, of course, KLINGLER'S!
What the diddly squat has happened to the EURO?
Having bought myself a flat for Xmas (and paying Blod's extortionate legal fees (!!!!!!!!!!!!),I can hardly afford to stand my fellow J2skiers a new year's drink at the Harfenwirt. L.

a hot semmel from the little shop opposite the church ... bendigedig!
hey, blod, how many days...? L.

duh, blod, who's nessa?
and what about the OLD PARISH? (Maesteg)
don't forget that hip flask ... L.

Jan,
sorry you've been let down. But you MUST get the right person/people.
A few years ago, i brought out to Niederau my next door neighbour (she was renting the house next to me). within a week, she was moaning that she missed her mother etc. friends in Niederau took he to Kitzbuhel etc while i was out doing the anwarter, to see how beautiful and wonderful the place is, and I got her a job at the sonnschein waiting at tables. she was even offered a job at margreiters so would have been in the thick of it all. she was already getting busier and busier with nanny jobs, but at the end of the day, she was plain lazy, and she almost wiped out a 15 year reputation for me. In Niederau, as I'm sure you'll agree, we work hard but then play hard (in my case, on the tables!).
however, the moaning persisted, and unknown to me, she booked a flight with one of the local reps. that same day, she was kicked out of her B and B accommodation, and wangled floor space the night before her flight with one of the Thomson reps. While the rep was out visiting clients, this 'friend' fleeced the rep of all the cash in her room. the rep found this out early next morning as my 'friend' arrived on the thomson coach at salzburg airport, but without proof at the time, the thomson reps couldn't stop her taking her flight.
the son of the accommodation had her UK address and called her mother, and threatened to come to the UK to get out of the family the month's accommodation she owed him for. eventually the family paid up.
needless to say, when i got back to the UK in March/April, i tracked down the little **** girl and i stood outside her place of work at the time (a garage), and called her everything under the sun. Luckily, I wasn't arrested, but I was FURIOUS! L.
