Poster: A snowHead
|
This bizarrely-titled article by Neil English in the Mail on Sunday - A Bruce bonus in Chamonix - explains why the BBC's Fiona Bruce took nearly all her clothes off in a mountain restaurant.
In other words, it's not about Bruce Forsyth dancing on the Mont Blanc.
The gush quota in the article is remarkable. After the mandatory tour-op link in the second para the article delivers luvvie after luvvie.
It's a smooch-fest!
Please nominate your favourite quotes from this article, and maybe we can invite Neil English to take the stage for an Oscar.

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

The doozy for me is right at the end where he lets forth with the following: "the gift of floating through powder snow was slowly transfused into their skiing souls". Funny, to that point I thought i was reading about an employee of the BBC and her hubby learning how to not fall over off piste. Turns out to be a Zen Buddhists guide to powder...

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

David Goldsmith,
Do you have anymore detailed information on this, I mean .....
How cold was it? (points make prizes)
Before she took off her top did any younsters say "Let's have a look at the old scoreboard:"
As she took off her top did anyone say "“Nice to see you, to see you” – "Nice!"
Did Fiona say “What a lovely audience, so much better than last week!”?
Was Fiona told to put her top back on with "You don’t get anything for a pair, not in this game" ?
Were any of the following phrases also heard ....
“Didn’t they (both) do well?”
“You win a Brucie Bonus” – Woweee!
“Good game, good game”
“Don’t touch the pack, we’ll be right back”

Has anyone got to the bit where Fiona puts on an avalanche balloon system (maybe after putting the rest of her kit back on)?
Quote: |
... when Gavin introduced Fiona to a high-tech rucksack he required us all to carry, with a handle that you pull to inflate instantly two airbags when you are about to be engulfed by an avalanche, she said: 'Gavin, do we have to wear these? It's not that I mind wearing a rucksack but an avalanche pack is just scary. Is it really that dangerous out there?
'I don't want you orphaning my two lovely children.' |
I can see her point of view there. It would be tragic for the children not to have mummy reading them the news at bedtime.
