I find it rather disapointing that someone who quite obviously has 'mistakingly' posted what appears to be an extension of his profile should be torn apart in this way. He realised straight away the forums were not what he had thought. He took the flak and in the main replied in a civil and courteous manner. His requirements may seem a bit out of the norm, but thats his business. I for one hope he is not put off posting on here in the future, despite his baptism of fire.
The litany arising from the gap between hope and experience is endless. Whether to suffer it stoically, react heroically, or whine about one's condition seems an onerous yet unanvoidable choice.
Who does not long to arrive some day at that sunlit meadow where, untroubled, we may rest easy, abide a while and be happy? There is no sunlit meadow, no restful bower of easy sleep; there are rather swamplands of the soul where nature, our nature, intends that we live a good part of the journey, and from whence many of the most meaningful moments of our lives will derive. It is in the swamplands where soul is fashioned and forged, where we encounter not only the gravitas of life, but its purpose, its dignity and its deepest meaning.
No, i havn't Oslo. Would really like to, but i tend to go where the best deals are, France, Italy, Austria. Andorra is a real cheap option, duty free and usually has good snow conditions especially around Chistmas. Dont know too much about Scandinavian ski areas, you going to invite me?
New snow dome opens, biggest indoor skiing area in the UK. British ski team report its just like the real thing. Not quite the Alps, but i'll be giving it a go.
