What Sort of F*****g Idiot Are You? (6 Mar 2006)

June 2nd, 2008 Posted in Misc
Was the title of the unsolicitied e-mail received from Tim Howard at 14:36 on the 23 February, 2004: ´You aver, without advanced argument or evidence, that all the incidents referred to on your web page ¨Are the Guides to blame?¨ were ´avoidable´ even though, in some cases, properly constituted public inquiries came to the opposite conclusion.
The suggestion on your homepage that you ¨surrender responsibility¨ to a guide whose services you hire is simply daft (Reinhold Messner´s words in fact – not mine so Reinhold also must be daft in Tim Howards, myopic, state) I have no idea (correct) what sense of injustice or indequacy drives you to publish such rubbish but suggest that you take the site down before people start laughing at you.´ If publishing rubbish were a criteria for – taking down a website, both the BMC and BMG website´s would have dissapeared long ago. Tim (What Sort of F*****g Idiot Are You) Howard of course, must agree totally (if the idiot has half-a-brain) with the recent:  ‘properly constituted public – Hutton Inquiry’ even though, the vast majority of the British public know it was a government white-wash (including the powerful magazine – Private Eye). Having sampled the calibre of Tim Howards language/vocabulary thus far (probably due to too much drink) it is quite obvious that any attempt at ¨advancing an argument¨ with the likes of him, would be totally pointless anyway… On January, 14, 2010 a UIAGM guide died alongside (unusually) his two clients in an avalanche in France – there was a substantial avalanche warning posted at the time – only a f****** idiot would have taken his clients out in such conditions though Howard, no doubt, would disigree…
