Karl(Supertravel) gets first lifts last Saturday

?A note from the editor
Well here we all – again. For the vast majority of you this is your first experience of the heady world that is a ski season. You are probably still waking up every morning and gazing at awe at the snowy caped mountains and waiting for the day when afternoons usually reserved for yet more training/cleaning/snow clearing can be replaced with the sweet feeling of wind in your face and snow on the back of your neck.
No doubt you have all been duly warned by your respective resort managers that this dodgy Alex character will defame your character and print the most unsubstantive gossip and scandalous rumours about your innocent self’s over the next five months.
Well it’s nothing to be worried about. No Seriously! If you do something crazy and there are enough (1) witnesses you can guarantee that you will make your 15 minutes of fame. Being that we are in a metaphorical bubble up here and that gossip spreads faster than a case of MRSA in a dirty NHS hospital.
If you make an appearance in the paper, know this. It's nothing personal. I don't hate you and by next week everyone will have forgotten those dizzy heights of fame you reached and be concentrating on this weeks star. Looking back I think the record for consecutive weeks is 3 weeks and that took the sort of drunkenness and nudity usually reserved for the likes of Premiership footballers and on tour cricketers. Currently Caroline(Jump),Rachel(Croisette) & Warren(Kaluma) are top of the prospective repeat offender leaderboard.

Alex, the editor.

?The Warren commission
You can guarantee at the start of every season I hear about seasonnaires getting caught up in a set of unfortunate (and funny) circumstances. Like drivers getting lost in Lyon or certain bar managers putting petrol in a diesel car. This year is no different. Kaluma’s new driver Warren had his first taste of the French language at the McDonalds drive through. After pulling up to the first window and ordering, in his best (and only) French, “Deux Big Macs” he then rolled forward to the second window to collect his order only to find it vacant. If that wasn’t bad enough the order ticket only showed 1 big mac. As the wait continued his boss decided to park the car leaving Warren standing at the window. When the woman finally appeared at the window she was rather startled by the lack of car surrounding Warren and explained (in French) that the drive through was only for cars only to be answered by “No, TWO Big Macs”. As this futile back and forth continued much to the amusement of the kitchen staff and Richard. Eventually the woman gestured for Warren to go around to the counter inside only to be misunderstood and Warren started to circle the building toward the entrance of the drive through again.
