Tried walking, went for a drive instead

Put it away

nowt to do with Brexit. Also how fucking long is it since Blair was PM?

Ah go on, take the canoe. What’s the worst could happen?

Love this response. Bridgend is such a stupid cunt.

And that was before the return of CT

Facebook is mental for turning retirement age people into conspiracy theory lunatics.

The bloke I mentioned above, Norman Croucher, had this to say, ”Obviously, keeping your feet warm is a problem in high altitude climbing — but only if you have feet. While companions war-dance to keep theirs from freezing, I can stand on ice for hours. Climbing high or in a bivouac, I'm always the joker who doesn't have cold feet.”

You should see the state of his Betws-y-Coed

No one asked about your sex life

I've honestly never looked forward to a season less.

There's probably some perfectly decent B roads in the places I mentioned too, if that helps.

Thanks all, but I’m not after recommendations for gentle strolls, I was just lamenting I’ve never got round to doing what the “Scottish Mountains’s” youtuber does. Scaling magnificent peaks in the highlands and camping overnight in a tent or cave. My knee gets quite painful after any hard ground and sometimes just goes altogether (as happened on Penshaw) Theres a enough stupid idiots taking up mountain rescue services without me adding to their workload. Quite happy these days to potter around Grizedale or Tarn hors. Had a lovely run out last week along Wensleydale and Swaledale and had a potter about the hill tops from Hawes to Thwaites. (Glorious car run if you’ve never done it). Anyway, tonight I’ve arrived for an overnight stop in Balloch, Loch Lomond and just itching to get into the landscape above Ullapool. First proper holiday without kids, 33 years ago and retracing our honeymoon. However back then we trudged through the Scottish Borders in an unwaterproof tent before running up a massive hotel debt on Access, your flexible friend.

I got her to stop reading it once and she actually commented on how much better her mood was as a result. But then Facebook takes over and, if anything, is even worse.

My mam's the exact same. I remember as a kid, her telling me to focus on languages at school because of potential opportunities from working in the EU. Fast forward to 2016 and she's a Brexit voting lunatic who hates the England team for taking the knee. She's read the Daily Mail daily since I was a teenager.

I d wonder though if the Express now has settled to be a parody paper like the Sport used to be. A few days they go they had a "serious" article about secret EU plans to merge England and France. My neighbour is actually a nice bloke but gets this delivered every day. It's just odd.

The plebs should know their place. Don't strive to be a top doctor, scientist, artist, lawyer ecinomist etc. Get yourself sat down on your fat arse and drive HGVs 60 hours a week for minimum pay, and be grateful.

Catbells is the answer. Ferry there, climb, wonder at the views, descend,.flat walk to Lordor, go to St Mary's Mount pub for lunch and drinks,.ferry back to Keswick. Can't beat that.

That's it. Why spend £20mil on Willock if we can get him on loan for another season. And why get him in loan at the start of the Summer if we can save 3 months wages and loan him at the end. Ashley's sole aim is to run the club with as little outlay as possible until the court case is over. And if we lose the court case then he will continue doing his best to make us a cost neutral exercise. What a time to be alive

I see you’re top of the leaderboard already

Bangor? He’s lucky to get a cuddle off her these days…

Get in a canoe, you Tubby Tit- my hip is crumbling away so I’m out of the long walks until I get an update, but my brother and I are planning to do the Great Glen canoe trail (Fort William to Inverness) over 5 days next year with our sons. Hills, lochs, wild camping, fishing, pubs all whilst sat on your fat keister- it’s perfect for you. (If you sit up front you’ll go faster too, as your conehead is aerodynamic) Edit; it’s also a perfect opportunity to buy a shitload of kit you’ll never use, then sell a year later for a tidy loss 👍

Surprised no one's recommended Snowdon given you can get the train to the top and it has a cafe there

Can't remember the last time I sat in front off a telly for 6 hours watching sport and enjoyed it. BMXing is fucking epic. Maybe CT should take it up.

Personalised socks too. What a bloke.

Imagine the calibre of team we could put together based on the Ashley era irons in the fire. Probably quite shit still, but my what a pleasure just to ponder on the mystery of it all.

Mad Italian love in! Italy on a roll like. Euros, high jump, 100m sprint, and best of all, Eurovision. I'm having pasta tonight.

You can kind of (sadly) see how the Mail lures people in because of the way it appeals to emotions and reinforces prejudices. How the fuck anyone takes the Express seriously is beyond me though. It’s an absolute joke

Pommel doubles up as a perfectly serviceable insult too. You fucking pommel.

It’s a perfect scenario for Bruce. If things go well, he’s a genius. If things go badly, its not his fault….

Irons in the fire. Last minute loans or whatever is left in the bargain basement then

The cabinets or the carpet?

Haven’t even bid for anyone yet. What a fucking shit show of a club.

Castle Crag near Keswick is a nice friendly walk in the Lakes that gives rewarding views for the effort involved. I try and do this route https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/borrowdale-and-derwent-water/trails/borger-dalr-geology-walk-borrowdale whenever I'm in the area, or there's this https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/borrowdale-and-derwent-water/trails/castle-crag-from-seatoller---the-scenic-route from the other end of the valley. CT, I've done the former with a friend whose Grindr handle has "FatLad" in it, so you have no excuse.

Another grifter busted! 😂

I genuinely feel sorry for some of the younger fans today who missed out on this, not even about the football which was just as shit! I clicked on a TF YouTube show for 5 mins before turning it off where three lads were naming their favourite NUFC chants/songs and I honestly didn't know whether to laugh or cry when I heard some of their comments. The poor, poor bastards, (seemed decent lads as well). Jonjo Shelvey songs, Mo Diame songs which etc. At least we had the consolation of a great day out.

He was immense considering what he lost but even he must've thanked the stars for Bobby putting that side around him at that stage of his career. The likes of Bellamy and Dyer's pace, Speed's runs on crosses, Nobby's balls over must've been a bit of a tonic for him after a couple of mediocre seasons* for the team as a whole compared to the team he joined. * Mediocre by the standards of the time. If it happened now the Ronny would have a pull out special and Bruce would be in the hat for half the national pundits manager of the season!

As brilliant as he was he never had the longevity which was a real shame because you couldn't get enough of watching him when he was on song.
