The Great Ski Debacle

The last we would see of Portsmouth for a while was in the dark

It was only the first evening and already John was having trouble remembering the purpose of their trip

No such amnesiac episodes for Terry. He was however somewhat premature with the ski appareil.

Chris and John's room would never look tidier than it did, that first evening

When the curtains were opened that morning, it appeared that we'd spent the night in a small town.

We couldn't be sure, but it seemed as if John had had a good first run down

Terry exuded an air of quiet confidence. Or maybe he'd just dropped a particularly smelly one. Only he knew

As the first morning drew to a close, Chris and Terry thought about lunch. John thought about running away to join the army

If we were not to starve we would need to venture out into the town of La Tania

The reason we had specifically not invited Benny from "Crossroads" was his blatant inability to recognise the most basic ski equipment

Andy had assured Lou that he loved to go skiing. Yet here they were in the French Alps with Andy saying "I don't like it"

John supervized the morning stretch program that he'd devised while watching "Flashdance".
