I don't have an ipod :oops:

In my car ATM I'm playing:

Fatboy Slim-Why Try Harder
Massive Attack-Collected
Prince (can't remember which one)
White Stripes-Elephant
Depeche Mode-Songs of Faith & Devotion
Portishead-Dummy
ZZ Top-Tres Hombres

AJ, I probably still have those clothes left from last time round :shock:

Yes Admin, sorry Admin. We promise to play nicely FNO really :twisted:

Yes, I can explain the problem that occurs with so-called "boot out".

Carving skis have skinny waists, quite often narrower than the sole of the boot fastened into the binding in the ski centre. Unless the boot is raised away from the ski, when the ski is tipped onto its edge the boot hits the snow and prevents the ski being set into a carve.

This is why, when you see a full on carving ski, there will be a substantial lifter on the binding, and plenty of fresh air under the boot centre. Tip them over to carve, and no boot out. Fatter waisted skis don't suffer the same way, and tend to have lower/no lift plates at all on the bindings.

For a good example, take a look at any image of slalom racers skis.

Hope this helps :D

Can someone explain what it means please?

Thanks you.

Skidaddle, are you Tony_H's "learned friend" from the Neo's thread?

Just asking )

I agree, the costs do not stack up against air travel at the moment.

It's a shame, probably if oil carries on being expensive the comparative cost will drop though. It's certainly basically pretty quick, from Lausanne to Paris takes no time at all and it's not so bad on London.

London to Lausanne is not so hot on timings though. AFAICS with an early start in the UK, there is only 1 train to be caught in Paris, and that gets into Lausanne before 5pm. For me, 1 more train, and then the last bus up the valley (or spend the night in Sierre if any connections fail).

Lausanne to London seems to have better service times :?:

Oh no..you went and mentioned the S word. Now I'll have to go and stroke my new Punishers, until I can quell the mental image of "Driven Snow" 8)
