Two planks of wood...
Skiing and skiers... Skiers especially.
Born and bred in Scotland, winter was invariably bloody cold and covered in snow.
Being well over 6 foot I also do not have a low centre of gravity.

But why oh why do people who ski think I have an interest in listening to their every carved turn on the piste or traversing down a white run?
No! Don't show me your fucking photographs of a huddled mass of people in colourful jackets, wooly hats and sunglasses!

I honestly don't give a cuss... If I want to spend shitloads of money on a holiday, I'll spend it where there is considerable warmth, be it the beach, the sea or between the thighs of my fancy and the only cold thing I want nearby is the beer.

And everyone I know that skis has bad joints damaged nerves (due to freezing) and numerous healed broken bones - no thanks!

Skiing is ace fun
I've loads of pics of me and my friends grinning on mountains, and the colours of our jackets are way out there, dude.

Skiing
It doesn't have to cost money. I do a fair bit of dry slope skiing as well as heading to the Scottish resorts when I can (maybe three times this winter) and I can say that the reason is that it is so much fun. If you haven't tried it, try it for a day or so, then feel free to criticise it.

Oi!
If you're going to diss skiers, at least diss snowboarders too!

Nah
Snowboarders are worse...

Snowboarding counts double
as the perpetrators think they're 'rad and cool' and generally of a nationality they are not.

Frankly, the last few decades'-worth of crap snow has been a boon for Scotland in keeping that lot out.

Now, if we can just rip up Hillend, we can be happy all round.
