Good reply Damo - thanks for the advise, who knows what injury an "arrogant" post may cause. I may strain a finger muscle typing. Best look our the old elbow pads etc...
Thanks for the predictable response though- never saw it coming
It's posters like yourself and a few other sarcastic posters that have put me right off this forum, it used to be a friendly, helpful site with witty banter thrown in but now it seems to be mostly bitter, sad old contributors, shame it used to be so good.
Niki (probably the last time I will bother to look at this forum)
nik, dont stop lookong on here. gd site with gd people and when the web cams up its wicked.. just dont worry bout ppl like ^
skiing is about meeting new ppl and having a laugh and u wont meet ppl like tht coz they stick in their own groups...dont worry 2 much shoudl be enough snow..they dont build a resort without garenteed snow.
I've actually found this site very helpful ( as a non-skier[but a soon to be visitor to Bansko] with potential skiers in the family )
I get fed up with similar type comments when I'm in UK (I live in Greece) .....'ooohhhh you are soooo lucky to live in Greece - sitting on the beach all day' in reality - I have two businesses - 2 kids (3 counting hubby) - I cook, clean, iron, etc etc and rarely get a chance to 'lie all day on the beach' . Also the best one (in winter) 'You aren't very ...

Also the best one (in winter) 'You aren't very tanned' erm ...... it's the middle of winter - rain, cold and more rain - the only tan I'd get would be rust!
Anyway be gentle with people on here
And finally .....
Promise me there will be snow on 3rd Jan till 8th or woe betide you!
Good grief, you\'re a vicious bunch once someone says anything remotly controversial.
Posts on here can NEVER be taken with a pinch of salt.
I agree, this forum used to be good and the point I was making was that every other post is regarding some ridiculous snow forecast request.
Just because I write something you dont agree with doesnt mean you should attack me for it:
Damo: what does my post have to do what so ever with injurys on the slopes???
Niki: Bit hypocritical ...

Niki: Bit hypocritical dont you think??? You complain in a negative way about being negative. Have a word with yourself sunshine.
Jayne: What on earth does your post have to do with anything.

Actually I was just pointing out that the site has been helpful - Niki's post ......
and I also made a comment that I receive comments along the same lines and was just trying to make YOU smile - ' The last sentence 'Promise me there will be snow on 3rd Jan till 8th or woe betide you! ' was typed to be sarcastic a long the same lines as you started it!
Seems people read posts in whatever tone they wish and not ...

Damn - just had my first skiing injury .... strained my finger on the keyboard - well I had been warned! ..... in case you didn't get it - it was a joke!
Jayne do you know that sarcasm is the lowest form of wit......... And that you can also get injuries at the bar, like repetitive elbow strains.... be very careful, i suffer dreadful with this most seasonseven when it is snowing !!
