THERE'S JUST NO EXCUSE FOR THIS. (OR IS THERE?)
What excuse would you give for not skiing since 1984? Gossip met a man on the High Noon T Bar recently who was about to ski his first run since Lange became PM as well as a ski boot. Asked "did you break your leg or something" he said "er, no. I've been sailing in the Northern Hemisphere summers". "Sounds great - what, racing or just mucking about?" "Well, I've just come back from the Admiral's Cup in Britain, and I sailed in San Diego in the America's Cup." Asked what job he had on the big boats he said "er, skipper and tactician." Sounds like he has a pretty good excuse for missing the odd ski season eh? Shall we let him off? (By the way - he didn't get abused for queue jumping but he was definately itching to get the boards moving) b] .
