Simon is almost fully recovered from his brush with the Rona, but he crawls from his sick bed to join Nic for a discussion on surprise beard compliments and why the Germans aren’t as thirsty as the British for a pat on the back.

Finally, Nic’s experience in the mountains has led him to wonder if German ski culture is the worst of all the sub-cultures.
