My other "essentials" include
Heart rate monitor
the 2 plastic wine glasses from the picnic set for in-room-wine-quaffing before dinner (corkscrew comes courtesy of the previously mentioned essential swiss army knife)
Stretchy elastic bandage thingy - not tubigrip - for swollen knees, ankles etc
Boppit - stupid, irritating, but addictive game to play when p*ssed

Never thought of taking my boppit with me! That surely is the best game ever when you add shots of vodka into the equation!
Need hair straighters, just need them
and I forgot - always always take a bottle opener!

What is Boppit? The only decent reference I could find out there on the web was:
Watch out for Boppit, by MB, a very silly toy which seems fun the first few times you play it, but I'm sure will begin to grate on the nerves for the majority of people....I can see it as a late at night 'toy' that comes out between Bausack and Loopin' Louis. Of course, I for one will be getting one and taking it to conventions with me, heh, heh. (http://www.gamecabinet.com/news/Essen97Shilly.html)
I am none the wiser, but intrigued. I love silly games. (Pass the Pigs is my favourite game when the room starts going blurry)

So that's what you girls cram into your bags. Just what is "hair serum"?
|
I thought it was that stuff that featured as 'hair gel' on the film "There's something about Mary".
Novel thing to put in a tub and take on holiday though - you'd think with little imagination they could get their hands on plenty enough there....

For a look at a Bop It try
www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00000IWFB/002-6725219-1461640?tag=amz07b-21
We've got 2 in the family, sister's got one and we bought dad one for his b'day. Boxing day night was spent playing bop-it with alcofrolic forfeits. At one stage we had both going at the same time going in opposite directions around the room. I can't remember ever seeing anyone playing with one under the age of 20.

Stereo? Used to take one, but I'm never in the room long enough to listen. Or make toasted sandwiches for that matter.
Anyway, there aren't many advantages to being male, but I reckon the definition of "necessity"'s one of them.

Thanks Fenlandskier: seen the picture, clicked on the picture and heard the funny sounds, read the reviews (all 189 of them), but still don't understand what it is all about? Lots of poeple obviously find it a lot of fun, especialy kids, with parents suggesting it is "educational" (so is Warcraft 3!). No one suggests it's a competitor for shove-halfpenny.
(just kidding about reading all the reviews)

I heard about it from a few different people and kept thinking to myself they must all be bonkers, it's only a kids toy. The first few goes with it confirm that but the more you play it the more it grows on you.

well thats because men in general in ski resorts think that having a shower constitutes an effort, and ladies like to make a bit more of an effort, thus we take more time, spend more time in our rooms when were getting ready etc

That's true. You can probably remove the "in ski resorts" from that sentence, too.

Half the men in where I live spend hours in the bathroom preening themselves, the other half dont know what a bathroom is (pfhh men!)
You have to have music! otherwise you end up having the TV on for background noise ( you do learn the jingles to the adverts-believe me, malaysia la la la truly asia lalala)

Hmmm. Sounds like our house. I get the huge 4x4 tank & he drives the "I wish I was 18 again" go-faster-mobile
The tacky magazines wasn't me, it was Nadenoodlee 
I do agree though - a copy of Hello bought at the airport is essential reading . The WTFH/beach image is not pleasant at this time of the morning

I keep thinking about taking a stereo, but I'm never sure how much bi-wire speaker cable to take, and whether I should go with pre-amps or not. I mean, what size will the room be?
As for hair straighteners, the last time I flew back to Belfast I had some GHD ones with me. They look great, but are not the best ones to use. You can get better quality ones for about half the price.
Trust me on this one!
Also, you should see the damage that they did to my hair...

And do you take just teh CD player, or the turntable and radio, too. If the radio do you take just the analogue or the digital as well. STill, at least the fill-in speakers fit in the rucksack side pockets.

I just use my skis while they're still warm from the iron.

Not mine!
As for using the skis as irons, while they are still warm, that's an interesting idea. Although with my level of follical challengedness, I think even my skiboards would be too long!

Thank goodnes for this thread. Just packing, and went through postings to check I'd not forgotten anything. Only forgot one thing: Chocolate. And that was my suggestion! (about 20 postings back).

Jonpim,
I haven't started packing yet (fly at 6.30am tomorrow). I normally like to do it well in advance but "restrained" myself this time. I'll be having palpitations by about 2 o'clock this afternoon about it!!
I believe they do sell chocolate in the alps - bars of Lindt Lindor are my favourite!! Gives me an idea for a "favourite skiing chocolate" thread..........

Noooo! it has to be milka! Ever since I saw the purple cow skiing down the mountain at alpe dhuez scattering chocolate as she went ive been addicted
And never ever ever say GHD straightners arent the best- they are widely acknowledged as "the daddy" of hair straightening ceramic irons!
