Dr Hfuhruhurr 0 Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 I called it Happo 1 for a long time before anyone told me I was wrong. Link to post Share on other sites

skidaisuki 0 Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Cool - we have Peter North AND Gloria Hunniford on the forum now. "Happo Oh-nay" is the pronuounciation, and yes, I was confused when I first saw the name. Especially because a neighbouring resort in Hakuba is called "47"... Are you coming over to Japan, Gloria?

big-will 7 Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 "Happo Oh-nay" More like "o" (as in octopus) and "ne" (as in so desu ne)! Link to post Share on other sites

skidaisuki 0 Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Thanks for that Ewok 2. I guess "Happoridge" might be even more confusing than Happo One... Let's Happo Ridge...!!! Link to post Share on other sites

deeplymad 0 Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Happo 1 is the new way to say it. Lets. Link to post Share on other sites
skidaisuki 0 Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 In Japanese it's really descriptive. It IS a long ridge, at least at the top. Hence the bottleneck effect and icy sections up top Link to post Share on other sites

Sam The Eagle's Brother 0 Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 I always thought it was "1" - even called it that when I was there Link to post Share on other sites
skidaisuki 0 Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Well, I don't suggest you do a web search for him, Gloria. Let's just say he's a specialist actor. He sounds from his posts like an absolute gentleman and an enthusiastic skiier, I should also hasten to add. When are we likely to see you in Japan? Link to post Share on other sites
Gloria Hunniford 0 Posted September 29, 2008 Author Share Posted September 29, 2008 Intriguing I might take a look! Not sure yet when I will be able to go but I am looking into it. Link to post Share on other sites

skidaisuki 0 Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 I told you not to! The point was - famous people. Though I guess all the Aussies and Americans on these boards are not so well versed in UK radio legends, or their namesakes. Link to post Share on other sites
