Holiday time is upon us

Never thought I'd say it but we too are going to Greece next year :shock:

We'll more than likely be sacrificing a second Ski trip to go to Porto Heli with Neilson for some serious dinghy sailing.

It will be nothing like a ski holiday - I'll be constantly monitoring internet based weather forecasts for a month prior to departure. My luggage will be over the weight limit because of all the 'gear'. First in the water, last out the water, dinner then bed. Dodgey eyewear induced tan lines.

I'm looking forward to the change really!
Eurovision

We had Sky HD put in yesterday so spent all day watching just about everything being broadcast in High Def - and that included Eurovision.

Definitely seemed like there was less political voting going on but I did miss Terry Wogan for when it did occur!

I tend to use it as a top up for the 2nd half of the week. I think it's best suited to spring skiing and warmer weather when the snow is wetter. The teflon acts as a water repellent stopping that suction effect you can get between two wet surfaces.

I'm sure I read somewhere that it was a byproduct of research into fabric waterproofing.

What's wrong with a bit of slush anyway. Once you've got the hang of it it's wonderful stuff!

Great for powder training too. :thumbup:

I'm sure Jurgen would do you a good deal. Having said that, I wouldn't have done it even if he was paying me :shock:
