Skiing, worth doing or not? My brother loves skiing, his wife loves skiing. I hate my brother and his wife, so I generally avoid anything they like.
Any of your prejudices mean you miss out?

Skiing?
Not something I'd fancy. Almost all of the people I know who ski have had either a broken bone (or several) or buggered cartilages/ligaments in their knees - sometimes both. There's the added joy of all the hoorays you may encounter.
For those reasons, ahhm oot!

one of my minions went skiing last week and came back with his entire upper body purple and both arms in slings
He's a chocolate teapot for the next six weeks. Skiing is clearly for morons.
I've never enjoyed a decent NF rally on account of hating racism.

Do you know what gets me really racist? Flying. I've never been so racist as being on a flight.
From all the jehadists getting off at Istanbul to hop into Iran, to the peasent locals taking huge luggage bags and bringing their own big bag of nuts on the flight, to the English who start clapping when you land.

that means they've nicked too much of your money every month and are grudgingly giving it you back
and hoping it feels like a free gift so you won't be too hacked off at them taking it in the first place

It's akin to finding a tenner in an old pair of trousers; it's your money and always has been, but it still feels like a bonus somehow.

Most Skiier's/Snowboarders seem to be a bit tiresome and eager to tell you about their cretinous fascination with the sport whether you pretend to be interested or not.
