MARMOTTE TIMES GOSSIP

12 November 2003


Anyone heading out to Val d'Isere this winter will want to get their hands on to a copy of The Marmotte Times during their stay. We've had a sneak preview of their first issue of the season and apart from lots of useful info, it includes salacious and alleged gossip like the following...

You're not a Pop Idol!
Swiss riders in town for the Freeze competition thought they'd cheated the system when they cut photos from a magazine for their lift passes (to avoid paying for four passport-sized photos).

Unfortunately for one of the riders, when he tried to go up the Funi, the lifty stopped him and said, 'You are not the person on the photo'. He protested, 'Yes I am'. She replied, 'I know the person on that photo-he's the winner of Pop Idol' (French version). Busted.

Baxter goes for second run
Following an impressive 36 seconds down the Drambuie skier cross, Alain was seen in the Moris trying to track down Lucy from the hotel - otherwise known as the B&B above the pub. He was, apparently, keen to have a second run with Lucy following a bit of summer training together.

Disappointed, the next time Alain was seen he was being helped down the high street bollard slalom course by his concierge after allegedly quaffing too many Drambuies (well - he was sponsored by them).

Naked Chef(s)
Following his 21st Birthday celebration Toby (the chef from Café Fats) was spotted stark bollock naked on his 4th floor balcony hurling the evening's liquid entertainment over passers by. This naked chef episode was actually part 2 as earlier in the season John, the other Fats chef, got all his clothes stolen from the laundry. Jamie would be impressed.

Barrel Roll
Jon Olson performed his signature barrel roll trick over a car on the way to the XBOX Big Day Out party. Unfortunately he had failed to notice that it was in fact a police car that he was performing over, much to the dismay of the two gendarmes inside.

Olson gotta lotta bottle
Not having learned his lesson, Jon then continued his drinking session in the VIP area in Dick's. After a couple of shandies he had to be taken home to the Oakley chalet by some members of the team. His 'friends', seeing his inebriated state, couldn't possibly have let the opportunity pass by to have some fun. They pulled his trousers down, stuck a Vittel water bottle filled with milk on his willy, plugged a salami where the sun doesn't shine, wrote the words monkey all over him, and left him for the rest of the Oakley team to find.

Hollypokes
We have had a few stars in town recently, with most of them trying to keep a low profile (Bono, Helena Christiansen, Steve Cram, Lurch etc.). That is except for Max from Hollyoaks who tried to pull one of the young girls from behind the EV2 counter in Precision. He promised her access to his New Year's Eve party in the member's bar at Dick's. Unfortunately for him, he was trying to chat up the girlfriend of the Dick's manager. She knew full well that he hadn't hired out the place for the night. We think he needs a bit more work on his lines - while we are on the subject so do his fellow actors.
