Plus fours are a bit yesterday but I'm surprised you don't have the tweed jacket

No such thing as 'yesterday'. Only 'retro'. I nearly did buy a tweed jacket too. Bit expensive though :shock:

Don't get too excited, the ski's on his wall are older than him and he is really old.

:lol: I'll take your word for it! Think I walked into this one with a recent post!

Anybody on J2ski done any research in relation to an affordable high powered head torch suitable for a night time dabble?

Never mind Emma, I'll lend you a pair, I have a pair of nice wooden skis ,bindings attached hanging on my wall at home.

:lol: Yey thanks! Reckon I should get some plus fours, a tweed jacket and a flat cap (oh, got one of those) to complete the look too 8)

I don't have skis at all :cry: :lol:

give me a pair of skis and I'll ski on them

Y'know I follow these ski threads with interest, trying to pick up some knowledge on the more subtle differences between different skis. But I have to admit I'm in Mr Wickham's camp on this! When my brain starts frying about whether I'm hiring the right skis or whether I should be asking for different edges or whatever I think back to those old photos of people on wooden skis flying down mountains :D I kinda think I can't do any worse than they got, and they got about ok! I can see the merits of different skis for piste, off piste, all mountain and park skiing, but how much difference do the variants in each of those categories make? For example if someone's technique were excellent, would this diminish any potential benefits/drawbacks of skis themselves? Genuine question :-)

I'll have you know I'm an Athlete, I walk to the pub several evenings per week

Yeah so does my OH (except that our pub is next door). He says he needs to break himself in gently :roll: If I can outski him this year it'll be such a smugfest, and I won't have to say a word :lol:

Anyway shouldn't you be working

Not today 8) :D but I should be cycling over to my mate's for an exercise session :roll: See you the other side! Must remember my fags.

God I'd forgotten how dreadful pink floyd are

Aww bless. I'd heard some people have this affliction. I'll re-edit it for you using Barry Manilow if you like :lol:
