THE PUNTER 7th April 2002
News
from the 7th edition
All the weeks Gossip from La Tania & Meribel Village
Sam Wall Update
Yes Yes you all knew it was a strong likelihood, but now after a flying visit to Albertville hospital
on Wednesday The Punter can reveal young Sam Wall is the proud owner of his fathers hairstyle – THE
MULLET !!! Mother and son are now back in resort taking time off,Tim’s been practicing his nappy
changing techniques, walking the dogs and trying to sort out the wages!! Rumours of the 666 birthmark
are totally unfounded but so far Sam's hat stays firmly on !
Charity Update
How will Sam recognise his Dad after the original Mullet is shaved off on the 17th April ? Lets
keep thinking of further ideas for the charity event of the season ! We need 7500€. Dan’s
back from his “love dash” to the UK and hopefully he has his mind focused on the event
fully now (not on some chick in Blighty). Spread the word to all workers … ******17th April
is THE DAY******
Fight Club
The spring sun has brought tempers to boiling point – We
at The Punter have heard of many fighting stories, the best of which are: Bondy (ski
higher/Basi instructor/Ex Pitstop/ full time dad) was involved in a ROAD RAGE incident
in Le Praz receiving a black eye off a mad frenchman, before giving back as good as
he got !! Go on Bondy – Give ‘em hell! Karen(AITA) & Jo(Ski deep)
were pushed off a lift in Mottaret by Drunk Brit Punter in a mad dash for the last
lift home ! Fortunately Ski Deeps Gazza was around to offer the services of the classic
BMW and delivered them to the LDV for a calming après ski beer or three ! More
LIFT RAGE :Sandy (AITA) was brutally attacked by a ski wielding Frenchy , hurling
abuse and skis they rumbled in the Saboia lift (floor 1) with Sandy coming off the
victor and the Frenchy hopping off with his tail between his Frogs legs ! Vive L’Anglais
ascenseur ! With the pressure of fatherhood telling
on Tim Wall ,the lack of order Pads at the Pub lead to pandemonium ! Tim not only
throwing teddy out of the cot but throwing pads into the bar claiming the staff to
be a bunch of gorillas who couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery! They all
seem pissed to us - Ed
Letters to the Editor
Dear Ed
I understand there are going to be some “workers” t shirts printed this season,could you
let me know where I could pick up and order form from . If it is the Ski Lodge could you give me directions
as I do not know the way there.
Yours truly,
Running out of clean T Shirts
Snowline…….WAAALLEEESSSSSS

Dear Ed
If I don’t put sun cream on will my head go red?

Drink of the week
Bloody Mary!
Leave ketchup on a sunny terrace table for 6 days on the trot,slowly fermenting to bursting point,
take a pint glass,1/2 fill with the cheapest vodka you can lay your hands on and fire the Tommy K
into the glass. Down at once then rush to the Bogs, only to be drunk in spring !!

his Missus –he’s in deep shit so get it back to him !

yellow spears and tattered Snow Safari sarongs – DO NOT APPROACH AS THEY MAY BE DANGEROUS.

Following on the RAGE theme
A good hearted bunch turned out for the 6 nations rugby yesterday, after seeing France triumph
the locals steeled down for the Grand National & the wooden spoon comp (Scots V Wales). An alarming
amount of beer was drunk and led to a swift rumble , with the SNOWLINE bloke being head locked out
of the bar and his own staff punching & dragging him home to be locked in a cupboard for the rest
of the night !
