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 :-)

Just shows how irresponsible it is to allow people who have no knowledge of a topic make comments on it!

hope the little girl gets better. Some interesting user comments in that article, I'll take their advise and make sure I always take the off piste option when skiing with the little ones, bloody piste with all those huts and people, very dangerous places or maybe we should keep the kids at home in front of the TV watching patronising parenting programmes? Personally I get most my parenting tips from the fat yellow one, Homer, doh!

Alright - perhaps I'm oversensitive because I have a 7 year old daughter but is this really the right place for a couple of the jokes that have appeared in this thread? I'm not arguing that jokes of dubious taste aren't funny or that poeple shouldnt make them - just is this board the right place?
I'd say no.

She is in the paediatric intensive care unit of the Innsbruck University Hospital, Austria, where doctors say she has severe injuries but her life is no longer in danger and she should recover.


Thoughts to the family. Sounds like she was incredibly lucky to have hit the window and not the wall Shocked

Mosha Marc, I am definItely over-sensitive to the mis-spelling of this word. I'm just saying...also because, IIRC, you're a solicitor and therefore should know how to spell.

Sorry Embarassed This has been boiling up for a lo-o-ooong time, you just happened to be in the firing line when the gun went off. Embarassed

jonm, no I didn't miss it and I do try hard not to make comments on poor spelling and grammar. Mostly I can control myself, but for some reason this 'definate' thing has really been needling me. And it's true that I only turned on poor old Mosha Marc because I believe he's a solicitor, so he ought to be as stupidly pedantic as I am.

I feel terrible now. Embarassed

jedster, I have 11 and 5 year old girls and I know exactly where you are coming from - but after years on this forum I have come to take many jokes for what they are...jokes. Some make me laugh and other dont and some make me down right livid. We're all different.

Im sure we all hope the girl makes a speedy recovery.

Safety net!!!! I wish people would stop saying or thinking that a a bit of plastic netting hung from a stick that's been pushed a few inches into the snow is a SAFETY NET! It's just a visual warning and wouldn't arrest a thrown cat.

Masque, is quite right... that netting in the piccy is not safety netting and is not designed to stop people. Eyes are supposed to do that.

Pedantica, did you also miss British Girl Collides INTO Austrian Chalet? Surely this is wrong? Wouldn't 'collides with' or 'crashes into' make more sense?

Does poor spelling and grammar matter that much, if you can understand what is meant?

Poor punctuation, of course, is a different matter Smile

Fair enough - I'm in the minority. I've never really thought of this place as a particularly "adult" board but perhaps it is. Personally I don't get offended easily (and am not offended by the jokes) I'd just rather not have my kids read jokes about children being abducted to be sex slaves...
Also wonder how the parents of that child might feel if they read this thread...

Any way, I'll shut up.

jedster, Nobody minds you being offended. Theres discussions all over tinterweb about boundaries of taste including extensively in apres here. No-one seriously finds it funny that the girl was hurt but the poor reporting on the original website linked is a worthy target. I think everyone who gets on the internet or in the news either by design or accident has to accept that complete strangers will make jokes or derogatory comments somewhere in the world and the internet means they can find them if they go looking for them.
