@nixmap, I really don't think you'd have a problem on a Bash - people are never as rude in person as they are behind a keyboard. You might even get an apology or two! But using a different Snowheads account would be an easy way to do it if you do want to join a bash.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Rebel bash at Nixmap’s place? Free accommodation as long as you do the chores. High time there was a Swiss based bash...

| @Extremophile, people are entitled to express an opinion on something they find morally unpleasant, and to call out inappropriate behaviour when they see it. It strikes me as taking advantage of one's wealth and privileged situation to offer little but accommodation in exchange for this open ended commitment. Live in staff in central London are paid a full wage with only a slight discount even though their accommodation is included. Even au pairs are paid something! A decent person would be offering some kind of pay for this arrangement. I suspect the insults are sparked by some of the more dubious remarks/pictures above. That is the way of the internet... |
I didn't say they weren't entitled to their opinion or to express it, i'm just amazed at the amount of effort people put in to doing so every year even though their opinion clearly hasn't changed and is still available to be read on this forum. And I just can't help but question the logic of ''calling out inappropriate behaviour'' (as you put it), by exhibiting inappropriate behaviour themselves.
No one is forcing anyone to do anything here. We're all adults and maybe what nixmap is offering appeals to someone, somewhere - maybe the individual(s) who take the offer get massive tips from owner and/or friend visits - either way, whoever takes up the offer knows what they're doing and can freely choose not to do it just as they can freely choose to do it. So I can't see why everyone seems to find it their duty to be so morrally enraged by it.
And there's me thinking the snow prick was a piece of art... who is to say what art is afterall. |
I think it was a masterpiece, this has now become an annual event. Each one gets bigger than the last. Snow prick is not the term we use, we prefer snow d**khead

Clearly, the OP hasn't got any takers so needs to bump the thread for attention.

I thought the term 'snow dickhead' had been trademarked by the SCGB

I think Pam has a valid point here. If we were to hear positive feedback from some of Nixmap's previous victims then he might garner some sympathy, but I guess they've had to sign some lengthy NDA?

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

Thats completely up to the individuals. I suspect they remain private for fear of you lot.

Desperate bumping. No one paying you enough attention? Oh well enjoy your free advert.
Oh and how exactly are you going to help British citizens stay as your guests/ slaves for over 90 days?

I think the point was that you would host it in one of your luxury chalets as a thank you to the sH community for all the warmth, help and support we provide you in your annual recruitment drive!

I bet my son wishes his cooking skills were up to scratch. He's hoping to head to the Alps this winter to do a season starting in a couple of weeks by attempting an Anwarter course in Austria.
When will folks realise that admittedly this 'arrangement' always suits @nixmap, but there are often others that it might suit as well, even if not you.

From day one, in my case. Each to his own.

Winter is coming. The central heating has just gone on, the leaves are turning, the OktoberTest is just over a week away, Strictly and Bake Off have started, and SnowHeads are appalled by nixmap's attempted catering arrangements.
It gives me a warm feeling that things appear to be back to normal this year.
