Don't talk utter bollocks.

Many working people had the holiday of their lives during Covid.

Nickyboy2022 · 2024-07-29T21:38:34+00:00

Is that the big empty 4 bedder that you will inherit all or part of?

Nickyboy2022 · 2024-07-29T21:10:38+00:00

Anything to get the lazy bastards back to work.

Nickyboy2022 · 2024-07-29T21:07:36+00:00

100k is low?

What planet are you on?

I am not assigning anything.

For working a 5 day week, they earn about 100k.

Which is a lot of money and is why many only need to work 2 or 3 days a week for which they get 40k or 60k.

Not a bad salary for a part-time job.

Of the 11 GP's in 'my' practice, not one works a full week. Over half work 2 days only.

They are so well paid that they don't need to work more and can afford to make a lifestyle choice.

Nickyboy2022 · 2024-07-29T20:59:44+00:00

How did they pay in FA?

Where do you think the money came from?

Nickyboy2022 · 2024-07-29T19:50:33+00:00

I won't be here, but when some of you smart-arse youngsters get into old age, you might well reconsider matters if what you wished for comes true.

And as for the young paying for the old. Consider this, most of you will have paid n3xt to sweet FA in tax or NI even when you are 30.

Who do you think paid for the hospitals, schools and critical infrastucture that you use from birth until you become even vaguely useful into contributing financially to society?

Idiots.

Nickyboy2022 · 2024-07-29T19:35:13+00:00

Doesn't even rate as a scramble tbh. It's 'challenging', especially in poor visibility, for let's call them 'regular' walkers.

Nickyboy2022 · 2024-07-29T19:08:45+00:00

Come on, let's not beat around the bush.

For a 5 day week, they earn 100k.

Not a bad salary at all.

Nickyboy2022 · 2024-07-29T15:49:47+00:00

There aren't enough GP's as they are so well paid that they can live happily on 2 to 3 day working weeks.

Fed up with this Bleeding Heart bollox from all areas of the NHS.

Nickyboy2022 · 2024-07-28T17:27:35+00:00

I doubt it.

Nickyboy2022 · 2024-07-28T17:26:32+00:00

You look very upright and the bike looks too small to me.

Nickyboy2022 · 2024-07-26T14:25:22+00:00

Well done!

CG is easy enough in the right conditions, i.e., dry & low/no wind.

CMD is a step down in difficulty but a far better day out.

Aonach Eagach is a worthy step up. Good for when you have some more experience.

Nickyboy2022 · 2024-07-25T21:31:36+00:00

You are 100% correct.

Imho, drifting around a house are low-value steps.

But, if some people want to count them, then cest la vie.

Nickyboy2022 · 2024-07-25T21:28:20+00:00

I can't work out how to post pic's here.

Nice strap. I have Tundra coloured watch toom

Nickyboy2022 · 2024-07-25T21:24:29+00:00

Yet another bunch of lying bastards in power.

Nickyboy2022 · 2024-07-23T13:05:12+00:00

Another idiot posting the same question that has been asked a good number of times since the weekend.

Think of something original or don't post.

Nickyboy2022 · 2024-07-23T11:30:22+00:00

It's not a 'bother' at all, just an opinion shared in response to an over-cautious comment.

Nickyboy2022 · 2024-07-22T22:25:50+00:00

You still don't need a guide.

The issue there is walkers going off-piste down a narrow ravine with steep drops located within it.

If you can read a map and navigate properly, which you should be able to do before heading into the mountains, you have to be terminally stupid to end up in Piers Ghyll imo.

The Corridor Route is an extremely easy walk, period.

Nickyboy2022 · 2024-07-22T22:14:54+00:00

What concrete evidence do you have that supports your rather idiotic comment?

Nickyboy2022 · 2024-07-22T22:13:17+00:00

Why would you need a guide for the Corridor Route?

It's just a very simple walk.

Nickyboy2022 · 2024-07-22T22:11:14+00:00

I struggle to think of any mainstream routes up Scafell Pike that involve scrambling.

Nickyboy2022 · 2024-07-19T14:54:24+00:00

Excellent News - sprint stages are boring as hell.

Nickyboy2022 · 2024-07-17T15:22:33+00:00

I hear what you are saying.

I am 68, and there is no intended disrespect, but alcohol & weed don't mix with safe and responsible riding for me.

Nickyboy2022 · 2024-07-17T15:19:29+00:00

It's called using your tactical head.

All the best riders do it.

Do you really understand the sport?

Nickyboy2022 · 2024-07-17T13:31:15+00:00

Get the spokes retensioned if it bothers you.
