Dave why are you passing wind on here :)

Brooksy, I am a bit surpised at that comment, I figure you to be a bit smarter than some of the stick wavers.....

I filled the lads query as requested, ab deutsch. That, by the way, would have done no favours to Mr Hanson!

Dave my comment was relating to the word FERTIG as to me it sounds like the common word for passing wind, apologies for causing you to believe the post to be more sinister :oops:

Nope, Brooksy, my apologies to you. I thought you might have joined the chav lot. My mistake!

A sure fire way of getting yourself in good nick would be to do as much building work as you can, even at home, works for me -)

I don't have any DIY projects to work on. We've already got a conservatory :shock:

There was a equally high quality Norrona jacket but I received negative feedback from the family when I tried it on.



Apparently I'm not "youthful" enough to carry it off :cry: :cry:

To cap it all, my friend who we were holidaying with came back from another shop with a Norrona jacket down from £500 to £150. :cry: :cry: :cry:
He looked like the cat that had got the cream.

I'm now scouring Uk websites for stuff in the sale. Tricky when you can't try on before you buy though.

I like to book things and pay for them early because it helps spread out the cost. Skiing, being quite an expensive hobby, is all the more enjoyable if I do not have to worry about a big bill all in one go.

I often book little weekend "adventures" well in advance and pay for them ahead because they are such a treat when they come around and they feel like they have cost less. It's an illusion I know but gives us something to look forward to all the time. We have a concert at O2 booked for December complete with hotels etc., all paid for already, so it will seem like a real treat when we go and I will (hopefully) have forgotten how much I paid for the tickets!!

No. Just gallons of Estrella, and chavvy visitors in tracksuits.

Not very useful of you are at 2,000m and the wind is blowing, he won't be so keen to let you take a look at his map then!! :shock:
