Kahunas, Is that a big burger ? :shock:


No, everyone knows that Kahuna's are Hawaiian Holy men. When I was holidaying on Kauai, one turned out to bless the new by-pass that was just opened :D Really he did.

So, presumably "Mo's" has 2 priests cooking the Tex-Mex?

If anyone would like to achieve close to Interbank Rates, then a Nationwide Flexaccount with a Cash Card (not a C/C or a Debit Card) is the way to go IMHO. I have been using one for a couple of years. Works all over Europe and no cash withdrawal charges either. I load up the account with GBP before I go, and use the card in most cashpoints.

It's a useful site, thanks. I also look at the BBC Market Data on currencies, but generally it's all :shock: reading at the mo. for those who have GBP as a base currency, and ski abroad.

can anyone help... my head is spinning
ps. i dont care about the exspence i,m dripping money :lol:


For lots of shopping and off the slopes entertainment, I suggest looking at:

Kitzbuhel: shopping, plus big pool complex

Megeve: Shopping, Casino

Courchevel: Shopping, rich Russian watching

St Moritz: Posh shopping, luxury hotels, horse racing on the iced over lake

Zermatt, Posh shopping, posh restaurants, sleigh rides, spa centres

Good Luck with your choice :D


Ski Boot Buying in London?

Without the Profeet pressure analysis *I would never had discovered that when I stand in a ski stance there is no weight on one heel. There are very sound medical reasons for this, but I had no inkling of the size of the problem. It's now been corrected with wedges inside my boot.

Actually, the best bootfitters are trained to fit boots, and should tell a customer which boot and the size required, at a consultation. I'm a regular skier and I'd like to think I have good communication skills, but I would not have a clue how to fit a ski boot :lol:

* cem also does this, but prefers to use pressure sensitive paper, not a computer program.

Scarlet Fez what were the results of the weight bearing pressure point testing when your boots were originally fitted?
