Well done Alistair! That's karma I reckon. You help others out and ta daa something good happens!

That's the way I like to look at it anyway :D

I wear contacts permanently, and haven't even got a pair of up to date glasses any more :shock:

Quick suggestion. If you find your lenses become uncomfortable after a day's wear, try the ones you can leave in for a month. They're designed to literally be worn for a month, sleeping in them too. They let in a much higher % of oxygen to your eyes, which (I think) should help with the discomfort. I've worn lenses for years, and am very familiar with that 'picking' feeling you get when the lenses get 'tired'. I'd recommend the monthly ones to anybody to try though.

I'm not suggesting you start wearing these lenses permanently. However, they may help a great deal if you are looking to be able to wear contacts for a full day on the slopes without discomfort. I bet you can buy a single pair from your optician which you can use on your hols, taking them out after skiing each day if you wish. You could try them out at home beforehand to see how they work for you over the course of a day.

An alternative (or addition if you prefer) is to buy little phials of saline solution to take with you on a day's skiing so you can swill your eye out if it does become uncomfortable.

Sorry Iain, I need to take a step up in recording knowledge. All the other guys I was with at the weekend either had their own recording mini-studios, or access to a studio. If I want echo, I have to take the guitar to the bathroom! :wink:

Get the video camera out and give us the unplugged version, warts and all.

Yeeeaaaahhhhhh!

Da iawn Dave excellent effort. And it rhymes too. Veeerrry important. Not sure if chocolate on fire is a bit of a waste though! :wink:

I don't know anything about all this technical stuff. What I do know is that landing at Innsbruck is the only time I've ever done this face :shock: in a plane. Before that I had no reason to think it was different from any other airport. Now I know it is :D

I'm gonna second Dave Mac's suggestion. :D

If I ever have little happy eaters, that's where I'm taking them for the first few hols, for sure. :thumbup:

Rossyhead - Ouuuccchhh :shock:

Looks exactly like the same scar I saw once from someone being knocked off a motorbike. You seem to be healing far more quickly though. They had a plaster on for months, and the screw wasn't taken out. I can't believe you've been trying to squeeze it into your boot already you complete nutcase :lol:

Fingers crossed for you. :thumbup:

That sounds equal to or faster than a TO bus transfer :-)

Plus you don't have to listen to anybody reading at length from a sheet of paper. Bargain :wink:

Cool! :thumbup:

Did the snow pixie get in there? :mrgreen:
