You think Army food is bad, the Chefs course in the RN is the hardest one to do. No-one has ever passed it. (Old ones are the best)
Hope the guys have a safe tour, global warming permitting there'll be plenty snow when they get back.
The season awaits..

Where??? It is indeed Steve T. Mucho apologies Thunderbob. Nothing worse than being called the wrong service. We'll leave the tache issue there I think.
Service Champs are a good blag if you can get on em. Don't think I've ever ridden sober on them yet.
Here's hoping for snow..

Allo Stooza! Long time no see. Till Saturday that is and we can have a few at the Show. Still on same number.
To answer the Q about Les M, you've got no worries mate, as said before the area is huge and all the skiers close down is the Olympic Race piste above the village and the Les M Boardercross for a Race on the Thursday but there's a far better one just over the Hill in Meribel. We're all a friendly bunch so you'll have no bother. Oh and Thunderbob! How is the Crab website? Did Summer Camp with your Team the other year and have raced you lot several times, all cool guys and girls. How you manage to ride with those HUGE handlebar taches is a wonder to me.

Don't know what the times are like while they are there, but I made friends with a guy called Steve who is a big part of the organisation of the Championships and the Navy board team. Top bloke, so if you see him, say hi from me!

I would think it would only add to the resort. Especially in terms of nightlife. Just don't invite them into a drinking competition....

Has anyone been in Les Menuires (3 valleys) when the Royal Navy Ski Champs are on? I've just found out its the same week as me and my pals go in Jan 08 and am a bit worried that some of the slopes will be closed due to these events....

Any knowledge would be cool, not that we can do much to change things now as flights and accom is booked, but would be cool to know what to expect.

One good thing is that there is apperently half pipe comp which would be cool to watch as have never seen this kind of action before!

Cheers in advance girls and boys!
