Re: Why are "Walkers" miserable gits
 

Live and let live

Not all walkers are nokbs, just as not all bikers or jet skiers. As for the ones that are, don't waste your time on them. They probably won't change, and confrontation just makes things worse.

As for dogwalkers, and dogs off the lead. Bess is rarely on a lead but will come back and sit next to me if shouted. Just like nokbs walking/biking/jetsking you'll get idiots anywhere you go - best not raise your blood pressure worrying about it.

'Ramblers' for the correct term. Miserable, because they all have 'beige' lives.:rolleyes:

I know someone close, who got with a lady of a rather colourful reputation....so we thought, she converted him to rambling, he was into mountain biking, had rather a penchant for loud motosickles too before he started going out with her.
Hes now very beige, hardly rides a motorcycle....and she pretty much dresses him like a beige Les Battersby.


BEIGE miserable gits. Although it is nice to have a peacful walk in the countryside, with the dog, but even he gets looked at in a mean manner when he runs upto them and puts his muddy feet all over their beige trousers:smt040

Re: Why are "Walkers" miserable gits
 

Although it isn't all of the walkers round here, it does seem to be the majority of them but not all of then, I had a rather good chat with an old guy the last week up rivvy, he was saying he had had bikes for 40+ years, his favourite was a "Honda Dream". Nice chap he was too, he had to stop riding due to a heart condition to he took to walking to keep fit.

I understand that people want peace and quite sometimes however if i wanted to walk and get away for noise, I wouldn't walk on a pavement that is joined to a 60mph road and then complain about vehicle noise

Re: Why are "Walkers" miserable gits
 

And how does this differ from motorcyclists, car enthusiasts etc?

Stop moaning.

Nothing wrong with Jetskiing, and people whinging used to REALLY p1ss me off. We started a club to avoid this years ago.

And as for the North Sea... please tell me, have you ever been swimming mid winter in the North sea? I very much doubt it.

Re: Why are "Walkers" miserable gits
 

Grimey I have to agree. Where I live it's the same, I pay road tax and insurance, buy fuel at rip off rates, and I have a licence, so I'm entitled to use the road too. And if they don't like it I'll run them over:smt019

Re: Why are "Walkers" miserable gits
 

I think the point he is making is regarding idiots on skies not decent skiers

as I have said p1sses me of a lot, I can see why people get annoyed with them dicking around, but on the flip side its only an annoyance to passers but imagine how I feel, I have a 5 grand ski sat in the water with family / friends on it while some brainless chavs screw it around 5 feet away, this isn't just annoying very dangerous.

I remember last year (while working in photography sales) I got chatting to a customer who wanted a water proof camera to take pictures of his catch while fishing, I them asked him where he fished and he replied the River Lune, I happened to mention that I often ski up there, he then went to rant on about how I spoil his sport and then stormed off.
What gives him the right to think he owns the river and that ONLY his sport/hobby can take place on it?

Re: Why are "Walkers" miserable gits
 

Chavs on the water don't last long from experience. If your at sea, the coastgaurd usually puts them in their place. You get chav speedboaters as well.

As for your fisher, that shows he's not a very clued up one..

When we ski'd on the lakes, the fisherman loved us. It disturbed the lakebed, throwing up mud, making their floats hard to spot, hence they always caught more fish when we were about.

Re: Why are "Walkers" miserable gits
 

Ive been swimming in the North Sea in winter.Its great.Far warmer than standing on the beach:cool:

Re: Why are "Walkers" miserable gits
 

You lot have to remember that for the OP the north sea is not an option, the Irish sea is far nearer and that is filthy. Whether it be nuclear waste or human waste, it is not a sea it is a dumping ground. Also used for the dumping of chemical and traditional munitions etc.

You could probably walk past Blackpool on the floaters.

Re: Why are "Walkers" miserable gits
 

Daimo- you miss the point i'm making-the jet skiers I'VE met are plebs-chavs who go out and act like chavs and say to hell with everyone else.

As for moaning -you've got a cheek=-you moan like feck on here so shut yer gob;)

Your opinion mate-and its easy to see you get REALLY wound up-maybe you should go start another club for wound up people.

Aye- so when your trout fishing you want the bottom all dregded up eh?-me thinks your talking the proverbial pi$h again.:)
