And the "dude" you mentioned isn't even Scottish!!! He's a meanie from south of the border :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

When I have spoken to ski instructors, mind you that was Valmorel 1999, the year I got married, she owned more properties then I do, summer on the coast, Vendee I think, winter in the alps I'm sure she works very hard but tip I don't think so, I thanked her and I remember giving her a slugg from my hip flask, a good cognac, I think that's enough . :shock:
