thursday 1 Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 From Wiki: "Beating a dead horse" is an idiom that means a particular request or line of conversation is already foreclosed, mooted, or otherwise resolved, and any attempt to continue it is futile. In British English and Australian English, the phrase is usually expressed as "flogging a dead horse". The first recorded use of the expression with its modern meaning is by British politician and orator John Bright, referring to the Reform Bill of 1867, which called for more democratic representation in Parliament, and which Parliament was singularly apathetic about. Trying to rouse Parliament from its apathy on the issue, he said in a speech, would be like trying to flog a dead horse to make it pull a load. Link to post Share on other sites

Yuki's Passion 1 Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 whats the flattest resort then? Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Good question but considering That an advertorial is being used to state the facts I thought I throw out that comment. Getou gets more snow than Niseko, as does Hakkoda, Cortina ranks there what about Charmont hiuchi? Worlds second snowiest that pays the most advertising. Link to post Share on other sites
