Bulgaria Ski discussion board

Nine days, 14 hours and two minutes to go - the equivalent of 460 Eastenders (excluding the omnibus Sunday extravaganza).

Have not been on the site for a couple of days as I thought it was getting all too much. It has taken over my whole like. I check the snow reports hourly - I don't know wky they do not change on this site for weeks on end.

In these days counting down to Pamps 2005 - Boys on Tour (it is actually me and my 9 year old son but it sounds more macho and cool relating to it in this fashion.

Had a bad day yesterday - I have been asked to start training for a "Veterans Football Team" - I have just turned 35 - I was born in the 70's for goodness (would swear but must observe the site rules) sake, even if it was 3 days into them - January 3rd 1970; bithday cards gratefully received.

So just over 9 days to go ot to be more accurate 230 hours, 13,800 minutes or 828,000 seconds. If I could run a four minute mile continually for just over 9 days I would run 3,450 miles which is approximately from my house to Canet Plage in the South of France 5 times (only know that as I have done it in the car).

So what should I do to kill the time. I am currently compiling a list which reads as follows:-

1. Looking at this blooming website 10 times a day.
2. Checking the snow report hourly.
3. Walking round in my new ski boots so I can get used to them - you should have seen the looks I got at Tescos!
4. Getting all my stuff reading and putting them in a pile in the corner of the bedroom.
5. Trying on my goggles - over eyes, on the forehead in the classis style or trendily round my neck backwards.
6. Doing useless excercises which I think may assist me when I am skiing. How many skiers have you seen doing star jumps??
7. Preparing myself for the flight as I am not the best of fliers. The best way I feel of relaxing is alchol and sitting next to the most boring person in the world, which then sends you into a deep sleep. When I book up my holiday, travel agents and air companies rub there hands together and find the dullest person in the UK to sit next to me. Last yeat I had a paper serviette salesman from Slough - I dozed off before we left the runway.
8. Sleeping.
9. To continue to think about what I could get up to with the girl three desks away.
10. Learning a few card tricks to amaze fellow travellers on Saturday, therefore if you seen anyone with a pack of cards and some silky coloured hankies then I would advise you to ask to sit somewhere else.

Many thanks, cheers,
