Mail for help.Help!!

Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

[Re-titled, due to developments on 3 March, as below]

Austrian reports that Bode Miller has an unknown daughter were confirmed by a news agency on 22 February ...

... Bode Miller says he has 1-year-old daughter [Associated Press]

... and he confirmed yesterday in his diary on UniversalSports.com that he's taken a little time off to hear his "little squeaker make noise" ...

Bode's Diary [24 February]

With Bode changing nappies and racing Disneyland, how is his ski career going to evolve?

Idle speculation welcome.

I was curious enough to open the post but not to read the links, and my gut reaction is, "Does anybody care?"
Is that idle enough for you? Laughing

Its function is to generate replies and hits: 5 and 238, respectively, at the time of typing.

The thread "Supermarket and restaurant between Geneva and Grand Bornard" has 11 replies and 158 hits, which makes it more valuable in terms of replies, but less significant in hits.

This raises the obvious question: Which is more pointless: replies or hits?

maggi, I'm most grateful to you. Did you know that Nestlé love your name so much that they have dedicated a range of instant soups, stocks, bouillon cubes, ketchups, sauces, seasonings and instant noodles in recognition of it? Wikipedia have an entire Maggi section:

Boredsurfing, that's extremely helpful but it doesn't actually answer the question - Which is more pointless: replies or hits?

I personally think that replies are more pointless. It's the audience size that matters, not the number of people who want to argue with a computer monitor.

That may well be true, but we're talking about a guy who's built a cult around such things as road-tripping between European ski races in a motorhome. It's clear from his blog that he's emotionally torn between that lifestyle and fatherhood.

Let's say we're the kind of people who put money on ski race results - you've got to factor these things in.

It's the first question i get asked when representing female athletes. "Are there any plans or chances of her starting a family?" i think it's an interesting issue.

It's a worthwhile thread.

If your job is travelling at huge speed down icy mtns, then the fact you've got someone other than yourself to think about has got to effect you a little bit hasn't it ?

He's not exactly 'corporate' so there's even more chance he could say stuff it and walk away. He must be worth quite a bit by now anyway so money isn't the problem it could be . . .

That phrase embodies a concept I utterly loathe.

There is very little in usage of the English language which gets my back up quite as much as describing somebody as "worth" the monetary value of what they own.

depends where he had it invested recently! For sure he isn't the kinda guy that craves multi-millions but I doubt he's rich enough to retire yet. He seems to operate at a more earthy level. His decisions seem unconnected with money.

Them tupperware boots are a nightmare regards comfort and warmth... but my feet have never felt fresher.

The New York Daily News is reporting that Bode Miller has now pulled out of the World Cup for the rest of the season, expressing disappointment at his results and his ankle injury. From the report linked below:
Quote:
"At this time I find more happiness doing other things than being on tour," Miller said.

That's a pity, Bode is my favourite, his attitude is like that of a former Austrian showjumper Hugo Simon, his phrase was 'Hugo first, Hugo last, Hugo never second'
