You should have saved some daylight when you had the chance.

I get the idea of fucking about with clocks if it made any sense, like in WW2 they needed to carry on making stuff until 10pm so they had double summer time. But now? Kids get driven to work; more people work from home so I can't see the point, apart from giving the population a kick in the smallies to remind them they can't afford to fly off to the Caribbean for winter.
Vote Sticks and enjoy unmolested clocks all year round

Had to reread that last line, thought you'd gone off on a tangent..clocks, got it now.

Best winter sport, by far. I can neither ski, nor shoot, but i loves it so much. Booked my tickets for Holmenkollen

Absolutely. Had to Google the location I wasn't familiar with it. Will you be learning skinny skiing?

won't be learning any skiing - despite my hints to my Norge friends that i would love to do it. I could buy some roller skis and go on the road, but fear british drivers won't be as forgiving as Norwegian ones to someone doing that on "their" road.

Holmenkollen is great, a metro ride from the centre of Oslo.

It's not the British drivers I'd be worried out, well they're a close second, it's the appalling state of our roads if you're brave enough to use roller ski's.

The Europeans have got it nailed for enjoying outdoor activities; we're catching up but we're still in the dark ages by comparison.

Why do the Scandies call it the luge and not sledging? They have to do it wearing a condom but we make do with torn jeans and a bobble hat

I think she's reformed.

a Luge is a one or two person sled

as opposed to a Bobsleigh (bob sled) = which got its name as the occupants bobbed up and down to get it started down the hill)

You and sticky seem to have a thing for octopus. Not judging, just an observation.

I'd pay to see that.
