The Dutch; tulip at skiing

[shaunbhoy]

Ah..........Dusseldorf Altstadt! Many happy nights spent getting bladdered there in the early 80s. Remember a bar called Nautilus with lots of portholes and plastic fish, and a pretty decent Irish Bar too. There was also a slightly odd Western Bar with some German DJ dressed up a bit like Woody from Toy Story. Happy Days!

If you're in Düsseldorf you can ski the whole year round and get drunk after (or before) - Allrounder

Not any more, I have a few friends from Ireland who stayed on. But I didn't really like it that much. Had a fab time on the project, but when it was finished and everyone started to move on, after a few weeks I decided to go too.

When I worked in Dusseldorf, we went sking at the weekend by train. (Can't remember the name of the place ) But there was some German joke as you left the ski lift "Look out for the Dutch"

The Germans tend to warn you for the Dutch, but if a 16 stone bloke with a black ski suit squashes your children then flattens you against a rock at 100 kph, before shouting ‘sorry’ and hurtling onwards out of control, it might actually be me.

Sounds like me! When asked about my skiing, I say I have moved on to the next stage, I am not just a danger to myself, but other too

"Two short planks." says it all.

A mate's version of that was "ça va?"

Yes Winterberg, we spent most of Friday afternoon checking different web site/cams seeing if there was enough snow. Meet at Dusseldorf station 7am breakfast on train, ski all day. Have pizza delivered to the station for the trip home.
