The world has officially gone batshit crazy!
Mary Poppins has been reclassified as a PG for the use of the above word.
It's a boer slang word for a local tribe in suth evricur.
I wondered why my childhood was so traumatic, after being repeatedly exposed to such racism!

Mark 11:25 - And whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.

Quite apt I thought

I didn't see the detailed explanation but now loads of people have learnt a new racist insult. What happened to the idea of disarming racist words?

When the guest I took out skiing on Sunday is just starting to explain the day we'd had to the rest of the group, but I had to leave the chalet and I missed him bigging me up!!

By the time I got back, he'd finished. But now half the group want me to take them out :bblonde: :bblonde:

Restaurants that have a bar but is only staffed by people filling table orders. FFS put on a couple of bar staff for people having pre dinner drinks.

People having accidents, i mean, how dare they!

Just went to go shopping between schools and they have the eastville (massive intersection as you come off M32) closed with 3 fire engines and 2 ambulances there!

How do they expect me to get my cider for tonight now... :lol:

It is also the main junction to my gaff, so hopefully before i leave work it will be clear again otherwise i am suspecting a 2 hour drive to get the 2.5 miles back to my house!

Dry and sunny,so I thought I'll pull out the Zed for a couple of hours,it hasn't been run since last November. Wheeled the H1 out of the way and took the Zed off the Skylift. Just about to wheel it out of the garage,then I turned around and it was raining. Now the roads are wet again and probably won't be dry during daylight hours. :roll:

Ho hum. Some other day,perhaps.

We waited way too long for the last snowfall about 10 days ago, but when it came it was adequate. There's been a couple of light dustings since and its holding up really well. I wouldn't be planning any powder days in March, but you never really know. When I was out on Sunday, it was hard packed and really fast.

If you're in La Tania check out Le Ski Lodge for decent priced food and great Apres.

Cheers Jody, looks like you might get a bit more this weekend but then it warms up again so more sunny terraces than fresh snow.

I can't ski for shit off piste yet anyway so probably for the best.
