But in terms of planned, large scale atrocities, ISIS/Al Qaeda et. al. will have larger targets to aim for once were out of the EU, since Rump UK will just not be that immortant anymore.

When you are at the bottom of a huge hole, it is generally wise to cease digging.

Of course there won't. Brexit was a real gamechanger as regards islamic fundamentalism.
I expect they were just desperate to squeeze wednesday's attack in prior to Article 50 being triggered.




You really are a special kind of dim!!

Still struggling with basic points I see.
You're proof that we produce enough idiots on this island.
Some of those idiots will no doubt cause some havoc, like the cretin on Wednesday.

Post Brexit there won't be much terrorism because rUK won't be important enough.

New Skis - Head or Hart?

Never really seen the point of owning ski's. Lugging them to and from the hire shop is an arsehole, but surely less of an arsehole than lugging them through an airport along with the rest of your gear AND having to pay as much as hiring some for the privilege.

Until i'm at the point where i can fly straight into courcheval, i'll stick to the hire shops.

If you do more than 1 week a year they can be worthwhile, also if you go late season or to resorts where the rental are trashed. A few years ago, ski carriage was free in any class on most airlines. Back then I was skiing 3-4 weeks a year.

You're welcome to fly direct to Courchevel (note the spelling), I'll stick to Austria/Italy/Switzerland/Utah.
I would consider renting when our current skis are done, but for now I'll be servicing them tomorrow morning before our afternoon flight.

My current quiver is:
Head 1200i RD (semi retired/skiing at home/rock skis
Head SuperShape Speed (main ones)
K2 Seth Pistols (the ones with the Union Jack bases)
Fischer race blades (haven't been used in 10+ years)

Well, given that my Head supplier can get me better deals than I can get on Hart, I'll continue with Head. It's not as good as my deal was with K2, but never mind.

In light of the last day or two's activities, I'd say my private sector job, providing the means by which the Emergency Services look after the nation's welfare, is safer than ever.
It's an ill wind and all that.

You just don't get it do you? Post Brexit there won't be much terrorism because rUK won't be important enough. These guys want to publicity. Some failing island on the flanks of Europe won't be worth bothering with.

But hey, look on the bright side, post Brexit, when your sinecure public sector job gets canned, I've given you a brilliant business proposition, what!

Very wise. I expect they have an extensive range of beginner's skis at most resorts anyway.

Besides, I expect quite a chunk of your luggage allowance is spoken for carting your quilted incontinence pants across to the continent.

Psssshhhhhh!!!

I'd suggest the dome for you too, but they've yet to invent a slope for mobility scooters.

FTFY

Sorry mate, this is a thread about skiing.
It's not for Brexiters.
Do you know how much it costs, post pound plunge?
Never mind, for your lot, I think Milton Keynes has some kind of dome.

[shaunbhoy]

Rent of course. Thought of buying to get the best kit crossed my mind but lugging it over makes no sense.

Skis are free in business class.

I didn't become a millionaire by paying for first class for 2 hours to Europe. I do First for long haul.

HTH. Bidi

Jeez just realised you're talking business class
