I'm a pretty active sort of fellow, always have been. Surfed, skateboarded, Windsurfed, Canoed, Sailed, Hiked, Camped, Scrambled, Squash, Badminton, Hockey, Fencing, Go-karting yadda yadda yadda ... all kinds of stuff, but I've never ever had any interest in going skiing ... ever. I don't mind watching Ski Sunday or the Winter Olympics in much the same way as I like watching Rugby .... I just don't want to do either.
To make matters worse, Mrs Foodie is going for the first time (as a 50th treat) with daughter #2 and the lad and tagging along with a group of friends who all think me a miserable basket for not participating. Now it seems there are some things in life that you're simply not allowed not to rave about, for example; The Beatles, Mozart etc. etc. Skiing is in that category it seems. I'm bored witless by people telling me how much I'd love skiing and on and bloody on. So, prompted by a lovely bit of anti-skiing polemic by srw I thought I'd ask the question.
