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 :-)

Hmmm. That tone of voice reminds me of someone - someone in particular, I mean, not just a non specific self righteous 14 yo pillock.

No, I think they are right, and it is the return of Snowpatrol, making himself just as popular as he did first time round Sad

I think I would have been at least smart enough to try and pull it back on thread.

Honestly, Im astounded about how much controversy this has created.
After all an offer for free season in the Swiss Alps, in return for some household chores, would welcomed in a forum like this.

Luckily, most applicants have seen through the nonsense.

Skid & slide has been around for some time - I don't think he is a reincarnation of snowpatrol but does indeed remind me of pj brown. Who cares anyway? Madeye-Smiley

Don't forget to send the lucky winner down to the local shops to pick up some free skis and gear (in return for them paying some money).

btw, I think you got it backwards; if they are applicants, they have actually not seen through the nonsense.

Seriously Im tempted. Mrs M and I had a devil of a time trying to decide.

Id have to remove the user names though to protect the innocent, so would it really be as much fun?

Perhaps I should post some of the less than serious ones. Smile

Really its tempting, but i think I had better respect others privacy, otherwise I could never expect the same in return.

Surely none of you would like to see that happen, right?

Besides, how would I stop people voting for themselves.

nixmap, you could alawys post just the TGR ones on here. I get the impression the overlap in users is surprisingly small...and I'm not convinced your average TGR would be that bothered about your privacy concerns anyway Twisted Evil

I disagree, underneath all the 'hard core' comments, privately they are really quite 'sensitive'.

I've just read this thread from start to finish and I have two postulations:

1: nixmap is a naive and altruistic friend to snowHeads

2: nixmap, is a clever and venal predator on snowHeads.

Somehow. the concept that anyone with the wherewithal to buy a chalet in the Alps but doesn't have or want to spends the means to maintain it throughout the Winter season and then abuses the innate greed and desire of the skiing community to leverage a cheap caretaker+ arrangement . . . strikes me as very clever and VERY NASTY. This is devious 'snake-oil' and any snowHead entering into this type of contract should have someone better qualified than themselves read it Evil or Very Mad

Kudos nixmap, are you PR, marketing or legal?


Or could I be just a cynical old Hector?
