Yeah, you'd better ****ing hide.
Disgrace!
Actually, you're the first person to feign outrage.
In the same way as you castigate others for refusing to accept their their heroes might have made a dud album, you might be doing something similar in not acknowledging that the great man had one or two fairly average days in the office.
Good luck with that.
What do you think think this place is? A nest of simpering lefties offering to understand each other's 'feelings' rather than contemptuously stamping all over them sensing the gleeful opportunity of a spot of one-upmanship?
Well, you can have some empathy from me. I'm not frightened of flying, I just hate it. Not for the planey bit so much (I love the take-off), but for the queues and delays and discomfort and inconvenience. I am frightened of heights though. Even walking over a bridge on the Thames makes me queasy. So next week I'm off to indulge my hobby of climbing up and down mountains. Mental.
I'm not very good with heights but you don't get feelings of vertigo in an aeroplane because of the lack of a connection between the aircraft and the ground. That's a fact, apparently. Having said that, I've never been comfortable above 7 or 8,000 ft in a light aircraft; the sky feels too big, somehow, and it's hard to light your fag.
Where are you mountaining? I've got 3 weeks until Snowdonia...
Far Eastern fells again. Lots of empty triangles on the wall chart to fill in over there. Staying in this place:

Snowdonia is ok, I thought, but a little bit second division compared t'Lakes. Nice but not wow. And full of welshers of course, speaking their pretend language when they think someone can hear them.
Yes, there is. You can call it "environmental genetics".
All the other stuff is perfectly fair enough, imo. But my old man paid our boarding school fees by listening to well-off north London luvvies and flakes and lushes endlessly witter on about their worries and troubles, despite the fact that, with his background, their tales of woe naturally appalled him to the core :hehe:
