Attempt To Make Barmaid Laugh ...

[-Talbot-]

Right, I first shell out a small fortune to take the kids up to the top of Mont Blanc (that bit at the side so you can see MB)

You have to take two chairs to get to the top ... On the way down at the half way-ish point there are some signs telling you how long it takes to walk to the bottom.

Kid 1 ...lets do it

Don't be daft I said

Kid2 pussy female cat

Red rag to a stupid bull

So off we go 2 n half hours isn't that long is it .... We walked and we walked and

Aww For Funks Sake I have just typed out an essay ... My longest ever on AB
I didn't know your first post was that restricted

[Prudie]

I've seen longer ones than that

[-Talbot-]

I'm talking about the 384 paragraphs that have gone up in smoke Prudie.

[Psybbo]

I've always wanted a Mont Blanc pen!

[choux]

Mont not the only article that is Blanc then? ;)

[Ellipsis]

Well it made me laugh ...

[Prudie]

Come on I want to know how you got down

[-Talbot-]

With lots of *** swearing Prudie. The kids don't normally hear me swear but they heard every swearword in the dictionary today and some that aren't.

All I could do was ask myself What The Funicular I was thinking of rising to the bait. As mush as we walked and walked the mountain never got any smaller and Chamonix never got any nearer. I swear we passed the Brownlee brothers sat crying on a rock because it was too much for them.

[Prudie]

I'd have cried too, do your legs ache?

Made same mistake a couple of years ago.
Never never ever again ...
Did you take small pod type cable car to Italian side ?

Last time I went we eat (on expenses at the top).
Had a steak meal , with a fried maggot ...puke...
Called over waiter , he took away my plate and returned it minus maggot lol

[SIRandyraven]

When I say plate ..it was a slate tile .

Well by the time I thought at last the town is within striking distance my legs were shaking like a s hitting dog ... The mistake I then made was announcing this, it set the kids of laughing with in turn set me off ... That was it I had sit before I fell.

The boys are in the tent and I've typed all this in the car, I don't want them to see their dad cry.

Didn't bother going to the Italian side, Andy R

[SIRandyraven]

This summer I'm slowly doing to top of a whole load of mountains.
UBS bank have a deal for customers , go to top and return of 34 mountains for only CHF 10. Billy bargain when some tickets cost CHF 100.
Just present your credit or debit card (UBS) when you buy ticket.

Arent there brown bears on the Alps. Best not lock car doors in case the bears have followed.....and light a fire ;)

[SIRandyraven]

A friend did Italian side one summer (only runs certain months due to weather).
Anyway he spent too much time enjoying Italian side (not much there ) and when he wanted to return, the pods were no longer running to wether conditions ....so he was stuck lol
So had to go down to Italian base of mountain and coach back to Chom ..ha ha so funny Not!

Biggest animal danger to car here where I live in Switzerland are Martens.
They love rubber and eat the car hoses under bonnet.
I have already had the rubber car ariel on my Skoda Yeti chewed down to metal core. Cost CHF65 for a new one Grrrr
