Classic revenge story from Natives
Quote: |
Don't mention the war
A group of English punters were rudely pushed out of the way by two German skiers, when queuing politely at the La Daille Bubble. Upset, and not wanting to give in to such bully boy tactics - the English tourists let the Germans get into the bubble and let the doors close. They then merrily picked out the German's skis and put them on the floor. The whole lift queue cheered as the Germans looked back helplessly.

Like it ..... probably best to take only one ski from each pair.
It's amazing how reserved us Brits can be in a queue, but equally amazing how unreserved we can be just a few hours later after a skin-full of apres ski drinks.

I dunno about that - I was viciously elbowed aside by a v respectable middle-aged groups of Brits in VT a few weeks ago. It's a war of all against all in those queues...

Don't sound very respectable to me.

You know it makes sense.

I just think that badly designed queues bring out the worst in almost everybody!

Nice idea. I'll try to keep it in mind for next winter.
More elegant than to come to blows (even if the skis owners could come to that, if they ever meet the "offenders")

Lets just suppose you were were to take one ski and leave it on the ground for the pushy offenders to see and then wait for a while until inserting that taken ski into the ski carrier of a later bubble (e.g. five bubble lifts later). How many trips on the bubble lift would it take the average German (opps almost said Kraut there) to come up with a matching pair of skis?

Just beware if you then get the bubble. They could be waiting for you at the top.

no, stoopid, it's for people with reversible skis, so it's a twin tip jacket.

easiski no offence taken, I realize that you have to put up with a lot of Italians there, especially during summertime, and when a crowd of a particular nation forms...well, it happens that all the negative traits of that nation are highlighted...all at the same time, and at their peak.

Dan, as if we needed it, there is yet another reason not to wear a one-piece suit (whether garishly coloured or not)

I don't wear strom trooper boots as they give me a lot of angst.
