He has a GCSE in food technology (cooking). I'm sure it will all come flooding back! :lol:

I haven't packed anything yet, but I have done the 'going to France' shopping and think I have everything ready to pack.

Butterflies yet?

No butterflies. I don't tend to get too anxious about things, apart from flying and even then I only get nervous when they've shut the door and there's no turning back.

Tim is quite nervous, but excited too.

Here's a funny thing, I told my eldest son that I wanted him to set up a standing order so that his rent goes into my account and I can continue to pay the bills by direct debit while I'm away. He asked how much and I said the same as he's always paid. He then said "But what about food?" So I told him that he'd have to get the shopping himself. "I should give you less then if I have to pay for my own food" he said. "No you shouldn't" I said.
"Yeah but the £50 each week pays for food now so..."
"No, no, no" I said, "You've been getting the food free up until now."

If looks could kill! :lol:

This was developed by French doctors which helps carving turns and protecting the wrist at the same time

Couldn't find Boardie with a google search.

Neither can I, Lol!

Oh yes I think you may be right there. It was apparently a world record jump.

Just watched this video again and at 1 min 38 it certainly looks like Jamie is in a bit of discomfort...It also looks like he changed his jacket on the way down!!!

This is what I found when looking for season ski insurance...

There's a paragraph about helmets which will be of particular interest to some of you non helmet wearing regulars out there.
