All back safe, sound, & shattered from this year's snowboarding epic. Taking the train seemed like the leisurely and relaxed way to go on the way over, but by the time the trip back came about I was kinda getting
2007-01-28 : Das ist bullshit !
It's always the way, innit ? Last day of snowboarding, and you think “Well I've had a good run this week – anything from here on is just bonus points…”. My plan for Friday was to do some warmup runs,
2007-01-26 : This is the wattle, the emblem of our land – you can stick it in a bottle or you can hold it in your hand.
Happy Australia Day from Austria ! They say that Austria's the one without kangaroos, but I very nearly changed all that. Well, at least I would have done if that kangaroo suit hadn't shot up to 62 pounds on eBay.

I know, I know. In an effort to cure the recent blogstipation, I give you Part 1 of the fantastic tale of the trip from Shimla to Delhi to Agra. In October. Only a complete arsewit would decide, “Hmm, 5
2007-01-12 : Whoosh
Really bloody windy today. It was like everyone had decided to do that mime thing where they pretend to walk into the wind. Except there was actual wind. And loads more swearing. Perhaps that bit was just me though.
2007-01-06 : Not that I would ever harp on incessantly, or anything…
…but yesterday that well known organ of all that's newsworthy – The Sun – did a story on the World's Most Expensive Train Journey. Not that anyone in their right mind would ever do this trip in this manner, but
