OH MY GOD :shock:

Scotland (3) 9
Pens: Godman 2 Drop-goals: Paterson

Australia (3) 8
Try: Cross Pens: Giteau


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Scotland's brilliant defence left the normally lethal Australians impotent
Scotland ended a 16-match losing run against Australia as an awesome defensive performance set up victory over the Wallabies at Murrayfield.

Australia dominated territory and possession but it was 3-3 at the break as Scotland fly-half Phil Godman cancelled out a Matt Giteau penalty.

A Godman penalty and Chris Paterson drop-goal saw Scotland edge ahead.

And although Ryan Cross went over for an injury-time try, Giteau's missed conversion handed the Scots victory.

Yeah it means I used 21 lifts today. It is slightly misleading in this case as one of the lifts I was using has a mid-station, which you can chose to get out at, skiline assumes you dont, I assume, and counts it as two lifts. I didn't get out at the mid-station.

Classic. :P

I was very happy to see that on the TV this morning, and the weather at Schwarszee was nice, however -17C and 70km wunds at the top, the first 800m of the run from the KM lift station was glass :shock:

Okay,

I'll go first with the skiline stats.

21.11.09 Zermatt

21 lifts
7003m Vertical
43km Uphill
55km Downhill

and

Knackered.

:D

I am assuming you have a point??

:twisted:

Now then, was meant to be on a train to Zermatt at 2.48pm, ened up on one 3 hours later due to work. Was starting to regret the little extra I had paid for a pool and sauna etc. @ 71 EUR per night rather than a room with no balcony for 52 EUR.

Arrived at the Horn at 20.20. A little tipsy but nothing desperate. Walked Tara to the Best Western Alpin Hotel and proceeded to check-in. "Ah, Mr Roberts", "Sorry a bit later than expected", "no problem", "you are in the nebenhaus". Charmin' I thought, and said. "No worries, your room is fine".

Too bloody right, got the top floor appartment, you could keep a family of twelvety in here!!!

So nice in fact, I'm gonna have a bath and kill the minibar. They obviously prioritize previous guests, and christ, in France this would cost 300 EUR a night.

Get to know a resort, show your face and as Dave Mac said, it dont need to be expensive.

:P
