THE PUNTER 3rd March 2002
News
from the 2nd edition (we did it!)
All the weeks Gossip from La Tania
& Meribel Village
NEW WALL
Although the new arrival is not due for a few weeks yet, our astrologer
predicts that this is the week. Using her in depth knowledge of the
region, signs have been spotted which lead to one conclusion - the
birth is imminent. Mystic Mig was quoted as saying "winter geese
are flying westwards over Meribel Village" this was backed up
by the sediment reading of her demi- peche -all signs point towards
the end of this week !If you think you know better than Mystic Mig,
then take part in our :
IMMACULATE CONCEPTION SWEEPSTAKES
Simply take a piece of paper, write the date & time that you think
the heir to the Wall empire will be born, wrap this round a 1€
coin and post in The Punter tub on the bar.
Remember Debs isn't due for a little while yet so choose your time and date carefully. Half the money raised will go to buy a pressie for the new arrival and the other half will go to the winner as a voucher to spend at SKI HIGHER. Don't forget put you name, company & position on the sweepstakes (and your juiciest gossip!)
Issue 2
Nobody believed it was possible, but here at The Punter we stick by
our promises- we will continue to print and be damned despite the
veiled threats received by our staff over the past week.
Are we too close to the truth?
In our opinion - NEVER !As long as you keep the gossip coming in we'll
keep this publication alive. Thanks must go to our contributors who
have been using our e-mail address thepunterlatania@hotmail.com

as if our very lives depended on it. For those of you without e-mail
access you can deliver your news straight to the 'Tub of Delights'
on the bar. DON'T BE SHY-USE US OR LOSE US !

Letters to the Editor
Dear Ed
I was both excited and outraged to see my name in the 1st edition
of The Punter. All work related rumours regarding myself and Steve
are totally unfounded,I was merely trying to get him drunk and drag
him back to my place. This is a gay resort after all isn't it?(ask
James and Nic).
The Editor apologises for
spreading vicious rumours, however I wish you and Steve all the happiness
in the world.
Dear Ed
If I have porridge for breakfast will I be hungry at lunchtime?
Oh for F**ks sake !
La Tania Meteo
Next three 3 days forecast is for moderate snow (16cm), temperatures
will be just below freezing for this period. There should be snow
flurries all week with some real cloudy days,put the suntan lotion
away Jules
Enjoy!
Restaurant review
This Tuesday the Editor and two of his mistresses dined out at the
Marmottons.
The owner was very accommodation-inviting us all back to his place
for a late night Jacuzzi ,sauna and rub down. Pints of champagne were
drunk followed by Abstente shooters and as the night wore on the talk
turned inevitably to sheep, Alsatians, Vaseline and barbed wire. Before
I realised what was happening the owner whipped out his digital camera
and led us into his stable/torture chamber.
I have little recollection of what happened after that , but I woke
up half way down Folyers, wearing the back end of a pantomime horse
and a huge grin with a card in my pocket that read "regarde www.redhotanimallovers.fr
!"
Next week : will the Ed make it to a restaurant out of La Tania ?
New Arrivals
Stu (ex NBV) has arrived with a couple of mates in tow.They have been
seen stumbling around resort with glazed eyes and vacant expressions
- is it the altitude?
F**k the factory Stu - stay out here!
John has turned up in resort to work for Snowline as a chalet boy,best
of luck son
you're gonna need it !
Fleets missus 'Marge' is back in town.
Eyes down for a full house of gossip
it's
the Barfly !!
Aussies were seen scurrying out of the back door this week as the
undercover Gendarmes raided the Ski Lodge, apparently there's a nationwide
hunt on sending all convicts back where they belong! Ski Deeps Gazza
fractured his arm following another night of sexual frustration. After
his sixth knock-back he vented his fury on his 'Classic' C reg BMW
! Hope the cast attracts the chicks Gazz! Phil Spence was spotted
modelling his new skis in a very risqué pose this week. He
claimed the shots were taken outside thus shrinking the size of his
enormous manhood,to prevent his girth from appearing round his edges.
Very decent of you Phil,keep that tackle covered. Tracy will be celebrating
her birthday today out on the piss following the departure of her
wife Rachel who's gone back to the UK.
Yurrie the Jurie
By Day a fine upstanding member of Chabi Vacance ,by night baroom
lawyer, judge and Yurrie !!
This week: The case of the disappearing Ski Lodge toilet roll
Prosecution claims "Traps 1-3 never have any loo roll in them"
Defence retorts "Tim can only afford 1 roll per trap/per week"
Yurries verdict "If there's no bog roll then use the red napkins
3 at a time..I'm sure T Wall won't mind !"
All the news from LDV
My word what an incestuous
lot they are over in Meribel Village, stories abound of bed hopping
,sex in chalet company vans and a pissed up Bagpuss !? Congratulations
to Jaff for the 16 yr old
her dads not too happy though!. Lee
certainly had his 'Oats' this week with a great ride down in the paddock
!? Shibboleth Rocked LDV twice on Thursday, shame we can't remember
much about it !!
