If he is correct I will love him

If he is wrong I will forgive him

If he is too excited and sensationalist I already hate him

I have a mental image now thanks Tina :lol: Poor defenseless trees, they were asking for it. :twisted:

I had a moment a bit like that, once, when an idiot on a motorbike overtook me, crossing the double white lines, on a nasty bend, just as a fuel tanker came towards us. In that instant all I could think of was my older daughter on the train, whom I was on my way to meet, and of her standing at the station waiting for a mother who wasn't coming ...

Luckily for me, somehow the motorbike managed to fit in between me and the tanker, and we were all okay. Unluckily for him, however, he got stopped at the next traffic lights, in front of me, and I got his number plate and reported him for dangerous driving :twisted:.

Jeez, that must have taken some bottle!!!!

My mother had a very similar thing on her way home from her driving test. Around Loch Lomond turend a corner to be faced with two lorries side by side, she had to roll the car into an area few feet from the Loch. Hates cars now..... and planes.

As you do we were kicking the fresh snow of the branches of the fir trees below us with the tips of our skis whilst we ascended, well you guessed it, my mates ski tip snagged in the branches below & nearly pulled him through the safety bar, his ski binding only released as his body started to twist around. Believe me he was screaming & I was hanging onto him & there was no way of stopping the chair lift. We were extremely lucky that day & my mate was okay to ski after the shock of the event. :oops:
The moral of the story, keep your feet & body parts safely within the chair envelope because that chair isn't stopping for nothing. :oops:

Erm, my moral would be, don't kick poor defensless trees beautifully adorned in all thier white regalia. However I have had a beer. That kind of thing is frightening, i remember being pulled up a button lift by my bindings once and I screamed like a girl. Surprisingly there are masses of photographs for such a nasty experience.

Tino, get practising :D

Get practising?? I need to get stupid first :D

That is awesome, and it is my ultimate goal to slide on every contnient, I am even considering Antartica for 2010/2011 but it will likely be on the flat and I will have to learn to ski first.

I have dreampt about and saved to visit Antartica for years, Sir Ernst Shackleton is my idol (I am not religious so I am allowed an idol), I want to see a fraction of what he saw and led 28 men through. Been talking with the old man about doing something fundemental together, as we really have done nothing together, ever. This may be it.

In that very dark second I was in the air all I could think about was not being able to snowboard, wierd how the mind works. I just bought my insurance consultant dinner and beers, that can only be good....I hope.
