Hello!

Just wanted to say hello and dispel some of the nasty rumours my sister's been making about me...! Well can't deny i do fart and have been known to dance on tables but am quite good at throwing snowballs and tobogganing...not so good at skiing, despite the Peter Mason masterclass of 2009...:-) Looking forward to Les Gets Piste. Oh and by the way, thats my hand in the fondue..previous research of course.

Paul's Favourite Ski Resort

If you look carefully you can just see Paul setting off from his accommodation on the snowboard, far right.

It was home from home for the Welshman.

Oh.... sorry.... that is his home.

n = 18

I could see there were going to be issues having a fair snowball fight with uneven numbers on both sides. I have evened things up a bit by persuading my sister to come along. So add one Christine Kennet to the equation. She's a crap shot though so i'd try and get on the other side if I were you. However she does know the offside rule.

She will be a good subject for research as she knows nothing of travel insurance so can't be biased (unless paid).

So that means 18 of us, much better for research to have two sample groups of the same size (not body mass total obviously).


 

Also I have heard rumour of some pilot studies that have taken place. No results are published as yet but here's evidence of the equpment used....
