Anyone use walkie talkies?

Pablo,
Don't I know it! My daughter overtook me after one ski holiday, and now she's miles better than me.

Allie - this is why my daughter and I ski in lessons morning and afternoon. I just can't keep up with her, and she gets very frustrated (and abusive!) waiting for me. She can go as fast as she likes in her own lesson, and I can plod along in mine.

I think it's a very good idea. Some friends of mine do this when they're ski-ing. Of course, if there's a decent signal you could use a mobile, but I suppose it would be expensive.

Hello Allie, I am Ally too, but I spell mine differently.

How terrible if no-one buys it, and it has to close.

Skiing Etiquette

I used to sail, so I suppose I naturally asked about who has right of way.

I don't think there's a port and starboard rule, though, if 2 skiers or boarders are heading straight for each other.

Well,
You must have married awfully young then!

the language barrier

Ian,
That's pretty impressive - future conditional I believe, but should there not be a 'me' in front of the 'satisfaire'?

I usually say something like 'Pouvez-vous parler plus lentement s'il vous plait?'. But they still rattle on incredibly fast.

Eljay,
That's odd, I have exactly the opposite problem. I can formulate sentences fine, as long as I know the vocab or have a dictionary, but I am really bad at understanding what French people are saying. And I can read French pretty well, but they speak too fast for me, and I can't separate out the words. I am best communicating by e-mail :lol:

Going by train

That's too bad Ise, but I agree the train will never be able to beat those EasyJet prices.
Thanks for replying,

Ally
