Chriselle 158 Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 actually a gammy limp technically could mean either a limp that is gammy, or a not that great a limp (which could be a bad limp, or a non-limp) now i think about it. Innt English briilliant! I have no idea what you just said here.... I need subtitles I think... Link to post Share on other sites
ippy 66 Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 weeeeeelllll... if you take gammy to effectively mean bad and not "full of puss" then a bad limp can either be seen to mean a limp that is seriously painful, OR it can be a not very good limp (like someone acting like theyve got a limp). Ergo a gammy limp (since i would put it to you, you can have a gammy leg, but not a gammy limp since limps cant contain puss, but legs can), would fit the more casual definition of gammy as bad. So a gammy limp is a bad limp and a bad limp is a limp thats just not very good. Which isnt to mean a limp thats bad, but a limp that the person observing it would declare it as being a bit put on.

Tubby Beaver 209 Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 a gammy leg is used though to mean a f##ked up leg tho......so any walking done on a gammy leg would by definition be a limp.....no? Link to post Share on other sites
ippy 66 Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 which is precisely the point, a gammy LEG is okay, a gammy limp on the other hand turns the expression into the set of all sets that dont belong to themselves* *You can have a set of cats. And you can have the set of sets. And then you can have all the sets of things that dont belong to sets. Which now of course belong to sets. Or to put it in wikipedia way: Let us call a set "abnormal" if it is a member of itself, and "normal" otherwise. For example, take the set of all geometrical squares. That set is not itself a square, and therefore is not a member of the set of all squares. So it is "normal". On the other hand, if we take the complementary set that contains all non-squares, that set is itself not a square and so should be one of its own members. It is "abnormal". Now we consider the set of all normal sets, R. Determining whether R is normal or abnormal is impossible: If R were a normal set, it would be contained in the set of normal sets (itself), and therefore be abnormal; and if R were abnormal, it would not be contained in the set of all normal sets (itself), and therefore be normal. This leads to the conclusion that Ris neither normal nor abnormal: Russell's paradox.) Shaggy dog story so it is. Whos coming out this weekend then? Link to post Share on other sites

ippy 66 Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Went up today for a couple of hours. Kinda hoped id spot myself on the cams but alas no. Conditions were kinda slushy. Cool air, but inconsistent snow probably chewed up by groomers. Rather late fall than early spring slush any day. Lift E was alright. Short run, about 4 or 5 minutes if youre cruising it, but enough to get the old legs working. No real snow falling at any point in the day, so really a false start to the season if anything. Off out there again tomorrow and then sunday probably gonna have a crack at skiing just for a laugh Link to post Share on other sites
Mick Rich 78 Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Fair play ippy for getting up there. Look forward to seeing some pics as and when.

ippy 66 Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Two days and about three hours. Bleh. Bit of a naff weekend in truth, e lines alright and good to get the first turns in but we definitely could do with a bit more resort out there Link to post Share on other sites
pie-eater 207 Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 How did you manage just 3 hours over two days ippy? Well done anyway. Hurray! Link to post Share on other sites
ippy 66 Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Just faffing about before leaving the house to drive there. Arrived about 2pm Friday and even later Saturday. A couple of hours isn't too bad for what's available, but one hour is just a silly waste of time. I'll do better next time :> Link to post Share on other sites

ippy 66 Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 It was pretty shit x 625 actu#lly it was alright. Just kinda disappointed in the time I got out there. Should have really pulled my finger out of my ass. Conditions yesterday were really nice for early season. A couple of inches top up by late afternoon and nice cool temps meant it could have been a decent ride if I actually managed to get a run in before they shut down the e line (we were that late), But we pretty much were on the last chair by the time I'd just started to feel warmed up which was kinda irritating since its a bit of an ordeal to get all the way there. Still, cheap weekend In truth. So no harm done. Link to post Share on other sites
