048

From the Men.Style.com newsletter:
Richard Branson's new Swiss digs.

The nine-bedroom chalet now offers guests access to 250 miles' worth of ski runs, chauffeur service, and even a private ice-skating rink, as well as the usual amenities (fireplaces, Jacuzzis, 50-inch plasmas).

If I'm paying to stay at Richard Branson's Swiss chalet (and I'm not), the last thing I want in my room is a television of any kind. At 35,250 euros per week, I don't care if the chauffeur walks out of the picture to cater to you; no one should think about television in this kind of place, be it in southwestern Switzerland or
West Virginia.
