Flights (anyone but Ryan Air...!) : Book a package, it's much cheaper than DIY.
Baggage and carry-on limits : Generally 20Kg + 5-10Kg.
Ski and boot hire : Depends where you go. Usually cheaper to book in advance on t'web, just look for the cheapest in your resort. Worth comparing the package price as well.
Lift Pass : Buy when you get there. If in a big area, the area pass is usually not much more than the local area so is worth getting unless you're a real beginner.
Insurance : Std holiday cover including winter sports. Check for off-piste included if you may need it.
Language (it's a long time since I learned French or German, but I'd prefer to avoid just speaking loudly in English!)
They all speak Engreesh - half of them will be!
Availability of English food (regrettably I have very limited tastes in what I can eat) : Plenty of chips, steaks. If you're a veggie it may be limited. Not english, but usually pizza and spag bog etc. plentiful.
Other things to do whilst I'm not skiing! : Relax and recover!
any specific queries, email or pm me as I'm not here that much.

I've just booked (last week) a week in La Tania (3 valleys) on 11th Jan in a catered chalet from Gatwick. Grand sum of £379!!!! Booked at http://www.igluski.com/ - plenty of cheap deals around and the snow looks like it's arriving.

And I'm not sure what court has to do with it - the 2 ins co's should come to an agreement and that's it. as Paul says, leave it to the ins co.

You went into the back, your fault. Pretty clear cut really. You must have pulled out behind the BMW closer than the stopping distance.

I'm with Fazerider etc. - odd though it sounds, war has rules : the Geneva Convention - and if we don't respect them we're no better than any other bunch of terrorists. If you don't like 'em, don't sign up, simples. And certainly don't break 'em on camera!!

Most people where I live consider motorcyclists as rude and inconsiderate.
Most non-drivers consider all drivers rude and inconsiderate.
Most drivers consider pedestrians, bikers and cyclists to be rude and inconsiderate.
Most cyclists consider car drivers and bikers, as well as pedestrians taking bicycle lanes to be rude and inconsiderate.
That about sums it up Slaninar.
A lot of it is envy, just as the car driver gets hot behind the collar with envy as he or she sees motorcyclists passing queues of traffic, nipping in and out of bus lanes etc, then in turn the motorcyclists, or the silly ones, get hot behind the collar with envy when stuck in tight traffic as they see cyclists squeeze through tiny gaps, bumping up on the pavement or jumping the odd red light to make progress. Jealousy, pure and simple.
As for insurance and tax etc, don't be so silly. And of course going into winter it probably won't be long before the same numpties start calling start calling for hill walkers and climbers to have insurance. Oh what's the other dumb one, stop people from heading to the hills in winter. I mean stop folks from going for a walk?
Cycling is also free, it's healthy, it does not pollute and is to be encouraged. No tax, no insurance, no license no helmets and the freedom to roam - protect it.
Shit. I agree with VNA. I'm off for a lie down....

And yes, contact Experian. I had one blip on my credit report which was wrong. Easily sorted with Experian and British Gas.

thought of that going to re-mortage my house that i own outright 
Not a good way - the interest on the mortage won't be tax deductable as a mortgage on the let property would be! But if you get a better rate than a BTL it may work out just as cheap.

Tricky - you weren't actually filtering were you? It's a manouvre you could have done in a car but wouldn't have. Ask yourself why not?
Don't get me wrong, I'd possibly have done it on the bike, but I can see WVM's point of view.

I have a Synology NAS for all me music and films etc etc., but it also has a Surveillance app. I use this with a WiFi camera and is no problem to set up.
Be aware that if you have an internal camera any infra red LEDs for night use will be useless - they reflect off the glass. I convered mine (with silicon lol ) and gotr a separate LED unit which is a couple of feet away. Works fine.

Pop down to your local INDEPENDENT Travel agent. I got a week in Kephalonia for 2 for £550 last year, booked a couple of days before we went. The've probably got access to all the deals.
