Andy's Blog - Gone Further

Not the best of times to go 15 days without doing a Blog, so I’ll try to keep it brief.
I left you on Sunday 14th anticipating a good week, later that night we ran into Hugo from Meribel 1999 fame who was in town for the week with his friend, Martin Jol (ish). This was [...]

This has been a craking week. I’m not going to spend the next four and a half months saying: The snow’s great and we’re having fun, as I would hope you would assume that much. Wht is great about coming out here for the season is that you can look out of the window [...]

This blog was written on Saturday – internet sadness has prevented efficient blogging!
We’ve discovered this week, the locals don’t pronounce the ‘s’ in ‘Tignes’, making it sound like Teen.
That’s that explained.
Apologies for the late blogging, I fully expected to have one done a week or so ago after our drive down here but [...]

I left you in the most extortionately overpriced internet machine I have ever used. $1 per minute was a lot and meant I could only do a half arsed Blog and not even check for more abuse on Facebook.
Vegas has once again killed me during the five nights we have spent there, [...]

Here it is, it took two visits to Vegas but I’ve finally managed to steal half an hour to do a Blog. What can I say about Vegas that I didn’t already do in my first Blog of 2009? The place hasn’t changed, it is still a city of magic and excitement, the only difference [...]

It’s been a busy couple of weeks! With ony 20 days to go until we leave to do our five months in Tignes we’re putting the finishing touches to our preparations. It’s basically a long holiday but as the four of us have little snowboarding experience we’ve been buttering up the guys in [...]

If Bill Gates has the audacity to make us select our language as “English (UK)” then I believe that using ‘Football’ and ‘Football (US)’ instead of differentiating between American Football and our English, almost apologetic, vernacular that goes something like this:
