Pete & Jimbo(Jump) start a new craze of late night lift streaking

A note from the editor
Well I don’t know about you but I’m exhausted. Since the lifts opened 2 weeks ago I have only been skiing once. Barely a day has gone by without someones computer/ broadband going wrong.
But looking at the big picture this pales into insignificance when compared to anyone who is going to be cooking their first christmas dinner for their guests. Even though I’m sure everything will go well no amount of money would get me to spend the day trying to do battle with a large turkey and a small oven.
In essence it’s just a large roast dinner but I’ve been told it’s all about the timing. On one hand not giving your guests a nasty case of seasonal salmonella or soggy brussel sprouts on the other and finally not burning down the chalet with an over enthusiastic flaming christmas pudding.

Alex, the editor.

It’s all about the underwear.
When I was young we had this thing called a belt. It was an amazing object whose primary purpose was to keep your loose fitting trousers from falling down. Somewhere along the line someone thought it would be cool to show your underwear to passing strangers as your trousers were permanently at half mast. Now of course pants need to be much more than some white/greying M&S Y-fronts. With the exception of Jeremy Paxman you need to have pants that are brightly coloured and adorned with the makers logo. If your mother was here I’m sure she would extol the virtues of always having a good pair of pants on (in case you get knocked down by a passing chalet girl in Kalico)
This season underwear has become part of the company uniform. As well as supplying polo shirts for the bar staff Jack Wills has included a batch of special pants. So if you wake up one morning and you are having trouble identifying the half naked body that has found it’s way into your bed then presuming he/she is still unconscious then the underwear is a good place to start. If they are fluorescent yellow and are made by a Mr Wills it’s very possible you’ve spent a night with some member of the Jump bar.

Don’t forget the “sex face”
Last week Lucy (TJ’s) brought the subject of the sex face to our attention. After further enquiries it appears that the face he/she pulls while shaking a drink is the same face they make when they are having sex. As I haven’t make a cocktail in years here is an example from TJ's own James.
