Thanks mate. I've just grabbed a wrap, grilled some haloumi, and thrown in a bit of mayo and rocket in there. There's some veggie sausages in the fridge that my missus cooked last night, inhaled them too ...
Just saw your edit Yeah Road signs and especially for sale signs used to ****ing fly down there, hardly ever made the bottom lol.
I thought that too. I have got good balance from surfing, but Skiing is a whole other thing all together. I reckon it's something that I could get good at if I practiced, but **** me it is hard work. Also, it's very easy to gain a lot of speed quite quickly with skiiing and snowboarding, but stopping is another skill altogether !
Didn't have time to bundle anybody into the back of a van on the way home and I'm all out of Chianti too.
Truth is, I'll probably be ****. Got to go in with my balls out though, no point messing about. Glad I'm having this thing on Monday, at least that will give me an insight into how good, or bad, I'll be. Main thing is getting a head start on the kids, no good me being out there and worse at it than them!
You’ll be worse than you’re kids unless you’re a natural. Kids have a much lower centre of gravity. They usually take to skiing like a duck to water.
You might take to it straight away fella. I just found it really cumbersome, but it might have been because I was using really long skis. Shorter ones are easier to move around on, especially walking sideways up the slope. The actual moving forward on the skis part isn't that difficult, it's learning to turn to scrub off speed that it difficult. As I mentioned it's really easy to just point the skis down the slope and go, you'll pick up a lot of speed quickly but learning to stay in control is difficult .... and painful.
Actually, **** that. Just checked and it would be at least half an hour so Uber might have to be the way. I'm taking a mate FOC so I hope he gets his wife to pick me up and give us a lift really, it's a very short hop down the M60 from theirs. Although I'd rather have a lift back after the game given the choice. Anyway, I'll ****ing get there.
A mate of mine is lending me some bump shorts or something. Padded undies, for hopeless ****s! Perfect for landing on one's arse and hips.
