bunch of snail eating ****s, especially if I have to wait more than five minutes in the ski lift queue, but I have to say I have warmed to Msr Macron and I think our Theresa has too.

In every shot I've seen of them at Sandhurst she appears to be somewhat charmed by the young fellow and would rather like to leave some of that lurid red lipstick on his cock (or I'm no judge of women).

Wouldn't have had you down as a ski **** H.

Cannot think of a less holiday holiday myself. Pile of shíte really. I'm out.

Having been on a couple of skiing holidays, I would concur absolutely.

I am led to believe it can be cold, you perhaps need to make a definite point of getting up early in order to really get it, you spend a lot of time falling over and let’s be honest the fashions are deplorable.

At least 2 of the above are covered by everyday life in Ireland.

Now unless somebody can guarantee me that by end of day 1 I will be attacking the black runs like an Irish Franz Klammer then bollócks.

I went on a skiing holiday once - abandoned the skiing after one day. Enjoyed the rest of the week in a lovely French village with fantastic scenery and some good books

Exactly. All the things that you want from a holiday - interesting sights, trips to visit places, good weather, good food, variation in one's day-to-day activity, balmy evenings eating and drinking outside, etc - are not available on skiing holidays. It's just skiing, which - once you've done it for a bit - is actually quite boring. Also, as you say - it involves falling over, possibly breaking limbs and endless queueing for ski lifts just so you can go back up the mountain and ski down it again.

Skiing is something I wouldn't mind doing for a day or so, but an entire holiday built around it? Nah.

I restrict my own skiing soujorns to a maximum of three days, late March and never, never never during a school holiday.

That sounds reasonable. People who go for two weeks, though - surely they must get mind-numbingly bored?

[Herbert Augustus Chapman]

Skiing improved greatly, as with most blokes, when the wife finally admitted she was rubbish at it, didn't really enjoy it, and didn't mind it being a quick lads only break.

Not having to go in school holidays transforms the trip completely. No queues and no being totally rinsed (300% increase) on apartment rentals. It's become with me, rather like tearing around on a powerful motorbike, a litmus to indicate that although I am getting old, I am not yet elderly

Kids have completely buggered my ski holidays!! Going next year though......although I did say that about this year

Well clearly you, Steve and Luis are all abjectly useless when it comes to anything physical so skiing would not suit. A week of flailing around in the snow like a burning spastic would, I imagine, be rather unpleasant.
