You mean a real dog? That would be much worse to look after then the digital ones I was complaining about :shock:

And what would you do with the dog when you went ski-ing?

Yes, she wants a real one.
The question is: what would we do with a dog when we aren't skiing!

Sure it is a cute dog but its a real tie.

I agree with Felthorpe. If we go to the same place every year it would get a bit boring. And, as someone else said, if we go on the same date every year it would mean that certain people would miss out every year (like Nelly if we always went in January), unless we did 2 trips per year and that seems a bit ambitious at the moment :lol:

Agree/Disagree

I think the same time each year would be a great idea that way i would know that i need to keep certain weeks free WELL in advance. And it would also give people plenty of time to organise the time off.
Christmas day is always on the 25th dec and that works pretty well doesn't it. We all know where we stand there.

Or we could just do this:

2013: 13-20 Jan
2014 : 8-15 March
2015 : 10-17 Jan
2016 : 12-19 March
2017 : 8-15 Jan

Right there, i have just sorted the dates for the next five years. You all have plenty of time to organise your lives if you want to come. If you want to come you will find a way......simples.

Everyone who wants to go has to post a £50 deposit by to the event organiser (ally) no less than ten months prior to departure. These people can then vote on a venue over a 2 week period, whats the point on everyone voting that can't go?
Then its set in stone.
People can join later but have to accept the venue.
Any people dropping out can get a refund of their £50 (which is just to weed out time wasters)

There!

I would like to visit C1850 but can't afford it.

Well I've spent tonIght trying to convince Megan that she doesn't want a cavachon for her birthday being as I have already bought her iPod!

Hi,

El Tarter is not going to give you that winter wonderland picture postcard feeling. It is small and quiet.
If i were you i would look at some of the Swiss and Austrian resorts and go high to be sure of the Snow.

Having said that it certainly would be great for your skiing ability though.

If suffer = being in a better place than real life where there are "3 meals a day, guaranteed shelter and nbot have to worry about losing a job"

:twisted:

Im not sure i understand your question. Do you mean 'why are some sentenced to death and others not for the same crime'?

Obviously some states in the US do not have the death penalty and for those that do i guess they look at mitigating circumstances.

Iceman wrote:Very good point, however if that is the case why does death row exist? If someone had gone on a murder expedition and my family fell into that I would want them dead rather than, as one of the inmates referred to it, "being in a playground"

Its purely down to the time the appeals processes take.
I think i am right in saying that if a prisoner waives all his/her appeal rights the execution can be carried out quite swiftly.

Agreed, especially due to the jet lag.
