Loop Bar and Restaurant

Saturday, April 11th, 2009

With the gorgeous Spring weather around now, there’s nothing more satisfying than doing a few runs and then sitting out on a terrace with a beer in hand working on your summer tan. Loop bar is perfect for this, and much more!

Situated in Tignes le Lac, you can ski straight down to Loop and enjoy a beer, magners (on tap) or even a meal deal. Every day of the week, Loop runs 10euro meal deals; a beer and meal such as classic burger, chicken and leek pie, wrap or a Thai curry is a price to good to go past. The food is fresh, tasty and never disappoints. South facing terrace gets the sun all day and you can enjoy good music as you watch people ski by, and half of the seaonnaires from Val and Tignes come and go for the very same idea you have.

At night, Loop kicks off with DJ’s and live music most nights of the week. Be sure to get in and take advantage of this great bar and restaurant before the season is out.

The Insider

Sick of him
Chesney (WarmUp) was fortunate enough to take a lady home this week for some loving. It was a evening that went ‘well’ in his books, until half way through doing the act, she felt the urge to be sick… you’d think it would be some kind of sign or deterrent to get a good nights sleep, but instead they changed the sheets, and finished off the deed.

April fool
A few people around town got stung on the 4th April, and Jimmy (Foret) was no exception. The Foret boys together with Jonny (Dicks manager) thought it’d be a splendid idea to take Jimmy out, get him so wasted he didn’t remember anything, and when he woke in the morning tell him Jonny wanted a ‘meeting’ with him. After waitin an hour to go in, an anxious and terrified Jimmy was sat down and interrogated by Jonny for chatting up Jonny’s girlfriend Sam, a furious Jonny drilled him, and while he apologized profusely the boys and sat and chuckled, they kept him going for a good hour before finally relieving him of his pain.

The Animals went in Two by Two
George (ex-Mark Warner) and Tom (Dicks) picked up two nannies and took them back to their place, all ending up in the same bed together. George then broke the slightly awkward silence by enquiring whether either of them would care to go south with the mouth. I would name and shame the nannies in question but when asked, neither George nor Tom could tell me which company they worked for, or even what their names were.

Dunnit at it again
It appears from the photo page that Dave (Moris) has been ‘on it’ of late. Ed decided to by around of black sambuca shots, including on for a very drunk Dave, then unraveled a dropped a condom into Dave’s shot glass. Dave demanded a new one, but when refused by Matt (Blue Note) unless he paid for another, Dave picked up the glass, and swallowed the sondom in one gulp. Not remembering anytihg the following day, they though it best to inform him, unless he had a surprise next bathroom visit, or some kind of ‘rare stomache disease.’

My oh my
Henry (Dicks vestiere) works long nights in the cloak room. Whilst on a wee nap, Mark (Dicks floorboy) put a melted Twix bar down his pants. To this day Henry hasn’t said anthing. So don’t stress Henry, it was a joke and appears you didn’t actually shit yourself.

Record time
Jamboy (Saloon) has woken up twice this week in his own sick, must be the end of the season!

2/4 busboys from Saloon have ended up in Bourg hospital of late, and it hasn’t been gnarly riding accidents, no it’s been drunken behaviour. Morten was taken down after being found by the Geane Darmerie in an unresponsive state. Quite impressive however, he woke up in hospital the next morning not remembering a great deal, and was back at work that night.

The challenge is off
The Saloon Long Island Challenge is no longer! This is because Will (chalet rep) managed 12 long islands in 2.5 hours. After an hour he was found dancing on his side (thinking he was standing up) on the dancefloor as George belted out the beats. He was later taken hom by his chalet friends on a state too messy to mention.

An early birthday
Phil (Bar Alexander) has decided it’s just not fair for all those who birthdays after the season to not be able to celebrate with friends. And so, on Saturday 18th April, his having his birthday a month early, it’s rumoured Mullit will be playing to help celebrate this momentous occasion, kicks off at 9pm.

Bed hopping
Hannah (Saloon) has been fired and barred for 2 weeks for reasons we will not share. Ever since, she’s been getting messy, one particular morning she woke up in La Daille next to Harry (Dicks). She’ gone home with one of his housemates, done the deed, then decided his bed wasn’t very comfortable, so jumped in with Harry. According to the lads, during her bed swapping she relieved herself and pissed in a ski boot too.

‘Bigfoot’

Saturday, April 11th, 2009

Dear Daddy,

Big news. I believe I may have discovered irrevocable proof of one or more Bigfoots or Sasquatches living in the nearby mountains. Just yards from the piste!!

I made my discovery whilst out skiing with Rupert and Hermione. We’d had a long lunch, it being rosé season and I knew I wasn’t going to make it back into town without going for a wee. I took my skis off and walked into the deeper snow next to the run. I had made sure the coast was clear and was just about to take down my salopettes when I saw it. A set of huge footprints!! I screamed. Rupert and Hermione came running over. They thought I’d just pee’d all over my ski pants again. Not at all. I showed them the footprints and they agreed we had to tell the authorities. luckily Rupert had the telephone number for the pisteurs (they’re like traffic wardens for the mountains – to be honest I didn’t really know they had any other purpose than telling me off for being drunk on the slopes and making me get the chairlift back down) so we got them to come and inspect my discovery.

And oh how typically French. First they laughed at my telling them I’d believed I’d discovered a footprint of Le Piedgrand (If they think my accent’s so funny they should try listening to themselves) and they laughed because apparently the print had been made by someone wearing something called a snowshoe. Absolute rot if you ask me. If it’s a shoe and if it’s ever been in winter collection I’d have jolly well heard of it. I wonder if there isn’t some kind conspiracy going on. They probably eat them, don’t they. If David Attenborough knew about this it’d be World War III.

Lots of love, Tiz X
