Rose,
What is aciclovir please? I know it's nothing to do with ski-ing, but it is about 'feeling sorry for myself'. I've never heard of it before. Ally |

I got my ski insurance as a one off from the post office. As far as I remember, as long as you hadn't recently been to hospital, or had something like a major heart condition, you didn't have to tell them anything about past medical history. Of course, I haven't claimed on it yet, so I don't know if I might come unstuck over some small print somewhere. And I made sure it covered ski-ing.
I worry about insurance as well - you read these cases in the paper where the insurance company wriggles out of paying up for the most unfair reasons. Have a lovely holiday, everyone that's about to go, Ally |

I'm sorry to hear you're feeling so bad Rose, I hope you feel better soon.
Have a good rest, Ally |

[on topic please folks - Admin]
But maybe we should stress this is only a joke, in case someone reading it gets upset about it (concerned smiley face - which one is that?). Ally |

Well,
Pablo, I'm afraid I've never tried buying skis, because as I said before, I don't fancy taking them on several trains and carting them around on the underground and everywhere. So, until they make collapsible (possibly inflatable) skis, which are easily portable, I won't be trying to buy any, so I'm afraid I have nothing further to contribute on your thread :cry:. Ally |

Sorry Pablo,
You mean the original question 'Did you ever come across any really bad selling techniques?' only applies to skis? Not coffins? Or whatever it is that Tony sells? I'm not very good at forums. The only other one I've ever been on was a mental health website - explains a lot I know :lol: Ally |

Iceman,
I believe it's 'schussing' and it comes from the German 'to shoot' (I may be wrong here, I don't actually know any German other than 'Guten morgan' and I may have spelt that wrong). It's when you go straight downhill without 'tacking' (O.K. I know this is a ski site), incredibly fast, because you know from the lie of the land that it's quite safe and you can see to the end and stop safely and not frighten or knock over any beginners. I discovered last month that to be in the correct position for this your elbows have to be in front of your knees, so that your knees can still turn, when you're crouched right down like you're doing squats. In this position you can actually steer and it's amazingly exhilarating. Tony, what do you sell? (Presumably not coffins or double glazing). Ally |

Tony,
Basil Brush doesn't wear a helmet, I'm quite sure about that, I saw him years ago in the theatre when I was a child, so he's definitely off topic :lol:. Ally |
