In case anyone doesn't know where it comes from, have a look at BLACKADDER GOES FORTH. The scene near the end where he puts his pants on his head and pencils in his ears and declares himself insane. Wibble.

Every time I used to read Ally G's posts, I had this vision of pants and pencils as above.

Now, I'm just off to Hartlepool to buy some exploding trousers.......

But I don't think you can teel.

Where does the bottom spanking smiley come from? I've seen it on other forums, but not this one - I think it might come in handy.

Anyway, something I've learnt is my inability to recall information, everyone else seems to remember the names and numbers of runs in resorts, bar and restaurant names etc, I struggle to remember the name of the hotel I'm staying in.

Perhaps I'm not observant enough.

A challenge for my holiday; come home with names and numbers of at least 10 runs and 4 restaurants.

Where am I going again?

Or click the quote button on the post you want to quote, and then chop out any bits you don't want.

Anybody got any tips for dry slope skiing?

Sit in the bar and watch the boy :thumbup:

I totally agree with OldAndy on this one. I reckon dry slopes are dangerous. They offered me a free hour on my local dry slope when I bought my helmet but I decided to give it a miss.

Our local dry slope has watering points all over it and some of them aren't working so you go whoosh! until you hit the dry section of the mat and nearly catapult over the front of your skis. And bits of the mat have come up so you're likely to get your skis trapped in the mat and go crash! Plus, the skis and boots they hire out are really in a pretty bad state.

Of course, your dry slope may not be as bad as our one.

But if you insist on going on the dry slope I'd advise you not to use your poles as that was how I broke my shoulder. And you go faster and get a smoother run if you do it when it's raining.

If you want to keep an eye on snow conditions, use easiski's snow blog or www.2alpesnet.com. The reports on www.2alpesnet.com are funny, anyway.

Cheers.

cheers for that but woth the current weather temps that are forecast im getting a little concerned. temps said to but way into the plus side of things and a friend currently in meribel saying things are very rapidly getting sugary and very tracked out even on piste due to sheer amount of people and the warmth....

really neex this warm snap to bugger off a little for everyones sake.
