The greatest show on Earth, the Winter Olympics, is coming to town.
None of our towns, obviously ... but you know what I mean.
Here's one from the past ...

Yes, Eddie "The Eagle" Edwards.
I once stood at the top of a ski jump slide. I just thought ... "If I slip, I'm going to die."
Eddie's problem was not that he was no good. If Eddie had been square chinned and gorgeous, he would have been a national hero. His problem was that he looked like one of the Chuckle Brothers. Eddie was probably the bravest British sportsman ever.

JJ , do you mean- if eddie's chin was square he wud have jumped further( further than his usual dropping over the end of the runway thingy)
is it to do with aerodynamics ?

Skiing eeps I'd die if I tried that, I'm terrible on my feet let alone a set of skis! Oh damn I forgot to go to the sodding doctors, my memory is like a fish at the moment, I keep forgetting everything straight away.

No, I'm not going to Vancouver ... unfortunately.
I'll prob spend some of the Olympic time in Switzerland with my BF, who is half Swiss, half Italian, so I will probably have to support those teams (in any events where Team GB are not competing).
Until you've seen a live ski race, you get no idea of how fast, how steep, how dangerous it is.
Or when you finish a day's skiing, and you set off down the mountain, thinking ... "it's about 20 mins down to the village" ...
... and then those guys do it in 1 min 40 secs.

Oh, Switzerland is just the most beautiful country, Redman.
I've been there skiing quite a lot, but now I go there because "he" lives there.
If you get on the train at Geneva, and go along the north side of the Lake, you spend the whole journey with your jaw hanging open ... it is SO spectaculer.
You really should go.

I was carrying my equipment off towards the ski-lift area with my boots in my right hand over my skis balanced on my right shoulder and dropped a boot on my foot. This caused me to stumble and I managed to thread the bottom end of the skis through a railing. They shot up my shoulder and cracked me on the base of my skull causing me to fall and twist my knee, too.
I'd had 30 minutes skiing previous to this and had to sit out the remainder of my weekend with concussion, a ricked knee and a throbbing foot.
I really wasn't a happy bunny ...........:o(
