633051	2008-01-23 05:03:00	Nope. Reason - because all famous people will eventually die, and then every day will be a public holiday. Respects to Sir Ed, but all he did was climb a mountain, plus he had a group of people with him.	--Wolf-- (128)
633052	2008-01-23 05:08:00	My sediments exactly, Sure he was a great guy, did lots of great things, but there have been other New Zealanders you could also say are also deserving of such a salutation. However, I do like the idea of having another day off. :thumbs:	radium (8645)
633053	2008-01-23 06:36:00	I think we need another day off between Labour day and whatever it is in August or September, and it would be a great excuse, the monday nearest his birthday, public holiday, everyone goes skiing. :thumbs:	wratterus (105)

633056	2008-01-23 07:48:00	Not going to be very good skiing if everyone's on the mountain is it. :cool: It's the same as when you go to the beach in summer, right? :lol: I really just want another paid day off work. Sshhh!! :p	wratterus (105)
633057	2008-01-23 07:54:00	. . . all famous people will eventually die, and then every day will be a public holiday . Great! What's wrong with that?:)	legod (4626)
633058	2008-01-23 07:55:00	Great! What's wrong with that?:) :lol: Any employers in here? I'm sure they would be more than happy to answer that question...:p	wratterus (105)

It's the same as when you go to the beach in summer, right? :lol: I really just want another paid day off work. Sshhh!! :p Almost the same, but the outfits vary a bit. You might want to look at a 2nd ski set, but you won't need hydra-poles. The ski tow is required for both halves of the journey. Chair lifts don't work quite the same and are pretty rare.	R2x1 (4628)
